What Swims in My Heart?


I cry out your name,
I sing to you every night.
Piercing is the pain,
when I can't  see you,
but when I hear your name,
everything's fine.

What swims in my heart
but your name.
What gives peace to this world 
but your fame. 

Oh Lord of mercy and grace,
please give blessings, 
to this human race.
  
With eyes like lotus petals, 
your skins the hue,
of a stormy blue cloud.
You bathe us in moonlight with your love
and you charm, 
our every cell.
  
Your touch is as soft as an angels,
taking away all our fears.
You replace them with a longing 
and yearning.
You replace them with a longing to hear.

To hear your name sung out loud.
To hear your praises abound.

You dance in our hearts,
Hare Krishna,
Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare.
