Lyrics

RUMI ~ WHAT A BLESSING
Words adapted from a Rumi translation by Andrew Harvey in his book
‘The Way of Passion’ –
a Celebration of Rumi


Don't hide. 
The sight of your face is a blessing –
a blessing
Wherever you place your foot,
there rests a blessing – a blessing
The Beloved has come
with love to our door,
this knock is a blessing
We go from house to house – seeking, any answer is a blessing

The leaf of every tree
brings a message from the unseen
Look, every falling leaf is a blessing –
a blessing
Once the seed of faith takes root
it cannot be blown away
Even by the strongest wind –
that’s a blessing

I bow to You, for the dust of your Feet,
is the crown on my head
And as I walk towards you –
every step I take is a blessing
Every vision born of earth – is fleeting
Every vision born of heaven –
is a blessing
The heart can't wait
to speak of this ecstasy – this ecstacy
The soul is kissing the earth,
saying Oh Belovéd – what a blessing!

Fill me with the wine of your silence,
let it soak my every pore
For the inner splendour it reveals –
is a blessing. Is a blessing
