I was heartbroken to hear about the suicide bombing attacks in Sri Lanka, targeting churches and hotels, killing 290+ people, including Christian worshippers, on-duty law enforcement, and other children of God.
I turned to the music of Aradhna of India, whose work I've been following, to listen to and meditate on a worship song in an Indo-Aryan language. The lyrics of "Asato Ma" were particularly powerful. Translation below:
Lead me from untruth to truth
Lord Lead me from darkness to light
Lord Jesus, lead me from the final death to fullness in immortality
Jesus, may peace be upon him
Without you I am incomplete
Grant me the gift of seeing you
Lead me from untruth to truth, Lord
