Back
to “Living for Spirit” at Suite101.com I WAS MADE FOR THEE by Paramahansa
Yogananda from Songs
of the Soul I was made for Thee alone. I was made for dropping
flowers of devotion gently at Thy feet on the altar
of the morning. My hands were made to serve Thee
willingly; to
remain folded in adoration, waiting for Thy
coming; and when Thou comest, to bathe They
feet with my tears. My voice was made to sing Thy glory. My feet were made to seek Thy temples
everywhere. My eyes were made a chalice to hold Thy
burning
love and the wisdom falling from Thy
nature’s
hands. My ears were made to catch the music of
Thy
footsteps echoing through the halls of space, and
to hear Thy divine melodies flowing through all
heart-tracts of devotion. My lips were made to breathe forth Thy
praises and
Thine intoxicating inspirations. My love was made to throw incandescent
searchlight flames to find Thee,
hidden in the forest of my desires. My heart was made to respond to Thy
call alone. My soul was made to be the channel
through which
Thy love might flow uninterruptedly into all
thirsty souls.
