lyrics

This is the Real thing, Beloved -
This is the Real thing.
This is the Real thing, Baba,
You are the Real One.

Your tender look has drawn my soul
And set my heart aflame with love
For you always, Beloved,
You are the Real One.

This is the Real thing, Beloved -
This is the Real thing.
This is the Real thing, Baba -
You are the Real One.

You have bestowed so much on me
Unworthy me, my prayer shall be
To do Your Will, Beloved -
You are the Real One.

To do Your Will and more and more
To love You still until at last
I cease to be, and merge within
Your Love so still.

This is the Real thing, this is the Real thing.
This is the Real thing, Beloved -
You are the Real One.

You have bestowed so much on me
Unworthy me, my prayer shall be
To do Your Will, Beloved -
Your are the Real One.

To do Your Will and more and more
To love You still until at last
I cease to be, and merge within
Your Love so still.

This is the Real thing, this is the Real thing.
This is the Real thing, Baba -
You are the Real One.

Your tender look has drawn my soul
And set my heart aflame with love
For You always, Beloved,
You are the Real One.

This is the Real thing, Beloved -
This is the Real thing.
This is the Real thing, Baba
You are the Real One.
