To touch the one eternal gift
Of love at Krsna's feet,
We had not even hope to lift
Above depths of conceit.
Of love at Krsna's feet,
We had not even hope to lift
Above depths of conceit.
As fool or teacher, rich or poor,
In one abyss we dove -
Absorbed in matter, we were sure
Of only death below.

Absorbed in matter, we were sure
Of only death below.
Until Your Grace and uncalled self
Alerted us en route,
We though of freedom, but to hell
Our senses did pursue.
Alerted us en route,
We though of freedom, but to hell
Our senses did pursue.
You save the soul a million times
By giving Krsna once -
For death on death just multiplies
If elsewhere someone hunts.

By chanting Krsna's holy name
You showed the path sublime;
No higher mercy can be gained,
Nor blissful love, than thine.

Today we worship this event
When you appeared on earth,
This age is blessed by blessing's self:
Your transcendental birth.

Smrti, Puranas, Mahabharata -
Chronicle all cosmic time;
Yet, search the spectrum, near or far,
We find no deeds like thine.

For you are Lord Caitanya's own,
And his gift was most rare;
And you, like He, have Krsna sown
Among us everywhere.

In this great age of sin and war
The world is parched of good,
Yet by the mercy that you've poured,
The drought has been withstood.

Yet by the mercy that you've poured,
The drought has been withstood.
To thirsty millions you gave life
By what you lived and taught;
No other savior equals you
Or brings what you have brought:
By what you lived and taught;
No other savior equals you
Or brings what you have brought:
A one-man ocean of relief,
You gave the holy name,
Immersing all at Krsna's feet,
And drowning mankind's pain.
You gave the holy name,
Immersing all at Krsna's feet,
And drowning mankind's pain.
Book after book you gave us proof
Of Krsna-nothing stands
Against your science and your truth
You've conquered Maya's lands.

Against your science and your truth
You've conquered Maya's lands.
We, disciples, set in motion
By your waves of grace,
Only pray for more devotion
To work your mercy's ways.
