40. You tolerated me

My Lord, You tolerated me
    Before I aspired.
    Therefore
    My vital-horse is all gratitude to You.

My Lord, You tolerated me
    Before I realised You.
    Therefore
    My heart-deer is all gratitude to You.

My Lord, You tolerated me
    Before I manifested You.
    Therefore
    My soul-lion is all gratitude to You.
