Wheel of Time
Life in this world is a fearful thing
It crushes like a grinding stone
For the wheel of time brings birth and death
And the feeling of being alone
I was born in a family who denied You, Lord
Ignoring You from the start
That same desire to enjoy life without You
Is the darkness in the core of my heart
Oh but You have benedictions to give me
Something no one else can do
So I ask one thing be taken away
The darkness of my forgetting You
I am drowning in an ocean of sadness
Lamentation is always near
People I love are taken from me
And troubles I don't want always appear
Still I strive for unending, happy life
But here in this world, that's a fantasy
Because the body I'm living in will die
And this body made of matter isn't me
On the other side of the River of Death
You are always there somehow
O Lord, on this side I suffer repeatedly
Kindly look upon me now
Your messenger came to say words of Truth to me
I will always serve that person by whose grace I now can see
That it is You who cares for everyone
You who makes our lives secure
For without Your sanction, no parent can protect
And no physician can cure
Only we who are subject to birth and death
Can hardly understand who You are
Yet our senses and minds are made of Your energy
As are the planets and every star
O Lord, You possess all power
So please excuse the one who was hurtful to me
Only by my own past misdeeds
Was I put into such company
Love of God is the best acquisition
The completion of my soul, it's true
And as Your loving servant, I would never expect
Some reward in return for what I do
But this love for You has caused concern in my heart
For everyone else's happiness
So please, don't liberate me alone
But free all others from all their distress
It is Your form that bestows fearlessness
And Your nature is ever sublime
To remember You and all the things You do
Is to stop the crushing wheel of time
Remembering You stops the wheel of time
It crushes like a grinding stone
For the wheel of time brings birth and death
And the feeling of being alone
I was born in a family who denied You, Lord
Ignoring You from the start
That same desire to enjoy life without You
Is the darkness in the core of my heart
Oh but You have benedictions to give me
Something no one else can do
So I ask one thing be taken away
The darkness of my forgetting You
I am drowning in an ocean of sadness
Lamentation is always near
People I love are taken from me
And troubles I don't want always appear
Still I strive for unending, happy life
But here in this world, that's a fantasy
Because the body I'm living in will die
And this body made of matter isn't me
On the other side of the River of Death

Is to stop the crushing wheel of time
Remembering You stops the wheel of time
