When you beseech God in prayer,
Do not falter, do not stray.
When you beseech God in prayer,
Do not waver, come what may.
To fulfill your sacred vow,
O servant, delay not this day.
To neglect the vows you've made,
Is folly, a foolish plight.
Breaking promises with God,
Is disobedience to His light.
To neglect the vows you've made,
Is folly, lost in the night.
Breaking promises with God,
Is defiance of the Divine.
He who shatters sacred vows,
God's wrath upon him falls.
His gaze of mercy then departs,
From him, the light now calls.
A vow's a covenant with God,
Shatter not, do not despair.
When you beseech God in prayer,
Do not waver, do not care.
When angels question you one day,
Accounting for each prayer,
To their probing, what reply,
O servant, will you bear?
When angels question you one day,
Accounting for each prayer,
To their probing, what reply,
O servant, will you share?
If you tell them, "I forgot,"
A blunder, a fleeting lapse,
Hearing your excuses then,
God's anger will embrace.
Burdened by sins you've borne,
Do not let your spirit break.
When you beseech God in prayer,
Do not falter, for goodness sake.
