Lyrics
The Beloved
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
His wisdom flowed from heaven's book
Just like threaded pearls,
Just like threaded pearls
He left his self to flee to God
And God sent him back to us
He was born to be the beloved
A will of the Divine
He was born to be the beloved,
He was born to guide
He prayed all his nights alone
And stars and angels sighed
And in the day he lead the way
With blazing words so bright
He was born to be the beloved
A will of the Divine
He was born to be the beloved,
He was born to be kind
He taught the people to worship
Bowing to one God,
Bowing to one God
His mercy stretched from East to West
To every man, woman and child
He was born to be the beloved-
A will of the Divine
He was born to be the beloved,
Nature Sublime
He opened up the doors of love
For every heart parched with thirst
He was a mercy to the words
And unto the human births
He was born to be the beloved
A will of the Divine
He was born to be the beloved,
He was born to guide
