Religion
Self-Surrender
Translated by Nicol Macnicol (1919) · From Psalms of Maratha Saints (1919)
Religion
My self I've rendered up to thee;
I've cast it from me utterly.
Now here before thee, Lord, I stand,
Attentive to thy least command.
The self within me now is dead,
And thou enthroned in its stead.
Yea, this I, Tuka, testify,
No longer now is "me" or "my."
