YUSUF ISLAM lyrics - The Beloved

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
