Rainbow Bridge - Glow in the Darkness

Oh You mighty, divine power,

who fill all space and prevail forever through changing of time.

You, who are above every perishing thing,

in Your greatness and strength inconceivable,

all comprising and all maintaining power:

You only I want to honour.

Although human mind could measure depths of oceans,

could count earth’s every sandgrain

or divide beams of sunlight of one another,

it would not comprehend Your greatness and

understand Your judgements.

Human thought cannot reach the heights,

where You reign.

Of yourself You created the world,

of eternity You conjured time.

Everything existing, life and light, harmony,

beauty and vigour have they origin in You.

Every sonority and glory,

every great and lasting thing

is generated by Your word.

Universe with all its wonders and living creatures

are maintained by Your power and love.

Like sparks fling out of fire,

so are all shining worlds flinging out of You.

You guide them, and they write Your name and glory

on the blackboard of infinity.

You light countless glowing torches illuminate the bottomless depth,

and Your glory banishes evil forces of darkness.

You fill space with shining pillars,

and Your golden streams are flowing

between countless solar regimes,

in which stars are tiny drops.

As I ponder on Your might and greatness

and see Your work I understand that I am only an atom

among myriads greater than me.

I weigh nothing on Your scale,

I vanish like a wind when You approach,

and I am nothing when I see myself in Your light.

And still I am part of You.

I am offspring of Your mind and will.

I live on Your spirit, and I cannot exist without You.

Worshipping You I realise,

that You are my source and destination.

I see Your presence in everything,

and cause You exist, I exist also.

From You I got my understanding,

and the paths of my life have You marked out.

My heart beats, because you want,

and in Your eyes atoms are like tremendous celestial bodies.

My place is between heaven and earth,

as near heaven as earth,

and I belong to both of them.

I am a link in the chain of existence,

a link, which is matter and spirit all together.

From matter I rise and onto higher level I will climb.

I am slave and still king, insect and still godlike.

But I am this not of myself, but of You and in You.

You are my creator, and my existence is based upon Your wisdom.

Your love is my life, and Your light my lighting.

I get my life from You and that is why I am immortal.

I cross the stream of death

throwing a robe of eternity over my shoulders,

because that is Your will.

Oh, this everlasting thought, this unlimited possibility.

To adapt oneself into inconceivable.

Be able to love, hope and worship.

Be able to reach levels of perfection

this is so wonderful, so magnificent

that it makes my soul cry tears of joy.
