Yusuf / Cat Stevens - The beloved lyrics

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
