Verse 1:
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.
Chorus 1:
He was born to be the be-loved,
A will of the Di-vine.
He was born to be the be-loved,
He was born to guide.
Verse 2:
He prayed all his nights a-lone,
In stars and Angels' sight.
And in the day, he lit the way,
With blazing words so bright.
Chorus 2:
He was born to be the be-loved,
A will of the Di-vine.
He was born to be the be-loved,
He was born to be kind.
Interlude:
, (x4)
Verse 3:
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.
Chorus 3:
He was born to be the be-loved,
A will of the Di-vine.
He was born to be the be-loved,
Na-ture, su-blime.
Verse 4:
He opened up the doors of love,
For every heart parched with thirst.
He was a mercy, to the worlds,
And unto the uni-verse.
Chorus 4:
He was born to be the be-loved,
A will of the Di-vine.
He was born to be the be-loved,
He was born to guide.
