Krishna stealing butter

Now i know why You are called the thief Oh Deceiver of hearts Lovely face of Thine I behold Oh Krishna, like a child You steal the butter The result of a days toil For Your enjoyment and mirth Divine Lover You are Stealing and laughing From far away with Love As we search for the butter of toil We fail to see Thee in action In every effort of ours And hold the result to our hearts To forget Thy grace in our results Your loving grace we see When You lovingly steal away What we thought was ours Only to prove that All are Yours Thy praise I cant sing For You stole my tongue My words my thoughts Even my Will is Yours Yet Your action seem to me That You have stolen what belongs to me Knowing full well that All belong to You May Your Love ever last May Your grace ever shower Oh Lover Keshava Madhava Govinda I proclaim For whenever I say Your name More and more of what I believed was mine Seem to be Yours and in place of my greed I see now Your Love and I enjoy Thy grace I pray Oh Lord that i...

I just cant judge 'cause I cant hold it, I can't control it I can't possibly say how it will go on I just accept it as it is! Strange, cause I f...
