Prayers Answered

 

 

For eons long I must have prayed to God

By different names his praise I sang

Each prayer must have searched for truth

Each answer must have come from Sai.

Oft times the answers were so strong

But with guided faith your will I chose

Always let me seek your guidance

Never doubting Sathya Sai

The wonder that these eyes

Your form can see

Will always draw my prayers true

The wonder that I am a part of you

Assures my soul of Moksha one day

In this present birth I took

It was many years before your name I heard

But I had always prayed to God

And often wishes his form to see

And now behold!  my prayers answered

To earth has God come as

Bhagawan Sathya Sai.
