And I am indeed in need of a lord who has
I need a master of vast generosity,
generosity and judgment whose stars never set.
Whose wise stars shine bright constantly.

So generosity dispels the days of drought,
His kindness can lift the dark clouds of strife,
and his experiences split open the bud-sheaths of the unseen.
His experience unravels the sleeves of life.
