Weightlifting Prayers
by Sri Chinmoy
6:02 p.m.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
May my soulful actions speak
And not my boastful words.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
Before doing a seated double-dumbbell lift with 360 lbs. New record.
6:09 p.m.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
Your timetable never fails.
You are always prompt
In answering my prayers.
It is I who fail again and again
In obeying You promptly.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
Before doing a standing double-dumbbell lift with 1,300 lbs. four times.
