```

What is needed is the conquest

Of self-indulgence.

What is needed is the conquest

Of self-importance.

What is needed is the conquest

Of self-doubt.

What is needed is a prayerful life

For God’s Compassion.

What is needed is a soulful heart

For God’s Love.

What is needed is a fruitful surrender

For God’s Forgiveness.

What is needed is a supreme wisdom:

God comes first always,

And God for God’s sake.
