The Thank You Song

Thank you, Lord,

For the gift of this life.

Thank you for all of Creation,

And thank you for light.

Thank you for peace and for quiet, And thank you for sound,
Thank you for Truth and for Love, And the power of Now.

Thank you for time and for space, For breath and for blood,
For giving us everything, everything, And always with Love.

Thank you for life,
From cradle to grave,
Your precious protection, Corrects and reminds us to pray.

Thank you for wind,
Thank you for sun,
Thank you for planting your presence, Within everyone.

Thank you for practice and effort, Thank you for growth,
Thank you for laughing and learning, And thank you for jokes.

Thank you sincerely, thank you clearly,
With all of my heart,

That river inside me that guides me, From your whole to my part.

And as we find freedom, Lord,
Help us remain,

So we can help others, Come out of their pain.

Thank you lord for Redemption,
And thank you for Grace,

Thanks for your sacred creation- The Human Race.

So help us Lord, oh,
Please hear our song,
Guide us in goodness and train us, To serve one and all.

(Repeat section)

he nātha nārāyaṇa vāsudeva

(Repeat section)

śrī: Literally means auspicious, and is used as an honorific title before names. Can also refer to Lakshmi, Vishnu’s consort, since her bija mantra is Shrim.

kṛṣhṇa: An avatar, or incarnation, of Vishnu, the preserver of the universe. He is the supreme being, the Atman, the inner soul, and is known for His radiant beauty, playful qualities, and transcendent flute playing.

govinda: A name for the youthful Krishna. Literally, the lord of the cows (“go”).

hare: Variously interpreted. Can mean “hare” as the vocative form of Hari, a name of Vishnu (of whom Krishna is an avatar or incarnation); also sometimes “hare” is interpreted as a name of Radha.

murāre: Murari is a name for Krishna as the killer of the demon Mura.
he: Pronounced “Hey,” similar to “Hey” in english, for addressing someone. nātha: Another of Sanskrit’s many ways to say “Lord.”

nārāyaṇa: A name of Vishnu, Supreme God, as the preserver of the universe. Or, as the ‘resting place for all living beings’ (“nara” meaning living beings, or jivas).

vāsudeva: A name for Krishna, whose father was Vasudeva. Elongating the first “a” in sanskrit turns it into “the son of,” meaning that “vāsudeva” is the “son of vasudeva.”
