(this first song should be sung before honoring the Lord's prasada)

1
bhai-re
sarira abidya-jal,
jodendriya tahe kal,
jive phele visaya-sagore
ta'ra madhye jihwa ati, lobamoy sudurmati,
ta'ke jeta kathina samsare

2
krsna baro doyamoy, koribare jihwa jay,
swa-prasad-anna dilo bhai
sei anna-mrta pao,
radha-krsna-guna gao,
preme dako caitanya-nitai

O Lord, this material body is a place of ignorance, and the senses are a network of paths to death. Somehow, we have fallen into this ocean of material sense enjoyment, and of all the senses the tongue is most voracious and uncontrollable; it is very difficult to conquer the tongue in this world. But You, dear Krsna, are very kind to us and have given us such nice prasada, just to control the tongue. Now we take this prasada to our full satisfaction and glorify You Lord- Radha and Krsna--and in love call for the help of Lord Caitanya and Nityananda.
