Heartfire

Sometimes I feel almost hopeless

This world can be so cold

I feel so lost and lonely

Like I've wandered from the fold

And then I hear you call me

From away down deep inside

Then I know that you still love me

You are my patient guide

You know all about me

How I serve my own sweet will

And yet you go on loving me

Though I'm so foolish still

Your love is all I'm made of

It's that for which I strive

Your precious love sustains me

It's what keeps me alive

There's a fire in my heart

And it keeps me warm inside

It's my love for you a-burnin'

And it keeps me satisfied

There's a flame in my soul

And it keeps me hangin' on

It's my love for you a-burnin'

And it helps me carry on

Prabhupada, sometimes the pain's

Almost too much to bear

This world's so full of suffering

So much misery and despair

But when I chant the holy name

And read your precious words

Everything is clear to me

And fear seems so absurd

You cut away illusion

You teach me to serve with love

You're my beloved guru

Sent from the Lord above

Prabhupada, your love sustains me

It drives away the cold

It's my strength, my inspiration

It satisfies my soul

There's a fire in my heart

And it keeps me warm inside

It's my love for you a-burnin'

And it keeps me satisfied

There's a flame in my soul

And it keeps me hangin' on

It's my love for you a-burnin'

And it helps me carry on

There's a fire in my heart

May it burn forevermore

It's my love for Srila Prabhupada
