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.
