My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

Is the winner
Of God’s Peace Award.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

God-gratitude-heart
Is the shortest and safest stairway
To arrive at
God’s Transcendental Height.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

My aspiration-heart, my dedication-life
And my God-manifestation-accounts
To ever be empty.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
