Ballad of the Bab

from No Time to lose by Steve Lockie

/

about

The story of the great revelation! This actually happened in 1844!!!

lyrics

Never before in the history of the world
has a star shone so bright but briefly....
He was 25year old when they can to the gates ...
To the gates of Shiraz city........

Mullah Hussein saw this young man standing there
As if waiting for the end of their journey
Drawn like a magnet across 500years
Since the coming of the prophet Muhammed

CH ...The waiting , the searching , the guidance ,the journey
He was standing before his beloved
The Beloved of ages who smiled on him
And quickened his heart within him

"Be still my beating heart within me , for I must be patient
And enquire if this man is my true beloved
I must wait to find out"

Invited to follow to His humble home
Hussein sent his friends on ahead
"Are you looking for someone ?" the young man said
Mullah Hussein answered "Yes!"
He spelled out the attributes of the "return of the Lamb"
"Behold!"the young man said ...."I am He"

"I am there Bab ,the gate , the way"
"Behold" he revealed" I am He!" x 2

Mullah HUssein was struck dumb for the night
As he listened in awe to the revelations
The hours of the night , slipped into the dawn
When he finally left his Beloved

"Speak not of this meeting... let the others come
And find Me in their own way"
"You are the first , there are 17 others who will testify to me and this day"

So in this way and right on time, in May of 1844
The Bab declared His mission on earth
Fulfilling the prophecies of yore
Preparing for the Glory of God"
And a world under a new divine star
The 'Lamb of God " had returned to the world
Preparing the way for Bahá'ulláh

Never before ,in the history of the world
Has a star burned so bright , but briefly
For 9 short years ,His dispensation reigned
The star burned so bright , but briefly
