I was inspired to write this song in commemoration of the 100 year anniversary of Abdul Baha's visit the Western World.
lyrics
The Master
(Verse 1)
Bm`````````````````````G``````````````````````A
This story is of a man we call the Master
Bm `````````````G```````````````A
Servant and Son of The Glory of God
Bm```````````````````````G````````````````A
The shining light in times of uncertainty
``````Bm```````````````````````G```````````````A```````````````D ````````A
To spread God's new word was his destiny (his destiny)
Bm`````````````````G```````````````A
No matter how tough the adversity
Bm``````````````````````````````````````G ``````````````````````````A
he persevered through peace-love and joy and unity
(help me sing the praises of)

(Chorus)
`````````D```````````````Gsus``````A
The Exemplar ---Abbas Effendi`
```````Bm```````````G```````````A
The Master ---Adbul Bahaaaaaaaa
D```````````````Gsus```````A
A builder, a teacher, a prisoner
Bm```````````````````````G```````````````A
He called him 'The Mystery of God”
Bm``````````````````````G````````````````A
He called him “The apple of mine eye”
(Verse 2)
````````````````````Bm`````````G````````````````````````A
He spoke in churches, temples and universities
````````````````Bm````````G`````````````````A
To priests,pastors,rabbis and dignities
Bm`````````````````````````````````````G ````````````````````````````````A
He revealed The Promulgation of Universal Peace`
````````````Bm``````````````G``````````````````A````````````````````````D``````````` A
No more war-crimes,, hate-lies,,, or poverty (no more poverty)
Bm`````````````````G````````````````````A
Soooo many battles had he fought
`````````````````Bm`````````````````````G`````````````````A
But by the Father's hand he overcame them all
(that's why we sing the praises of)
