O My Beloved
Performance
Behold the Beloved
The trees sing for you
The clouds part for you
The seas at peace for you
To see your face
is like beholding a million lights
When I come to you
When I arise to you
Please be there for me
And on angels' wings carry me
Behold the Beloved
The trees sing for you
The clouds part for you
The seas at peace for you
To see your face
is like beholding a million lights
I leave behind many
I leave behind all
To be with you all the days of my life
and without regret
Behold the Beloved
The trees sing for you
The clouds part for you
The seas at peace for you
To see your face
is like beholding a million lights
You see you are to me
the world and all
The heavens does shrink in your beauty
The universe is small to you
And every time you step in an quarrel
it ends immediately
Behold the Beloved
The trees sing for you
The clouds part for you
The seas at peace for you
To see your face
is like beholding a million lights
The little birds know your name
The little beasts speak your praise
All creation folds to you
Cause something about you that
so real, so beyond fantasy
imaginations can never fit you
Behold the Beloved, I surely will see
The trees sing for you, I will too
The clouds part for you, I will bow too
The seas at peace for you, we all will be
To see your face, longing for you
is like beholding a million lights
