SAMPLE LYRICS
If The Friend
Composed with words by LuAnne Hightower

If the Friend arose inside you, softly as you spoke His Name,
Would you lay your head upon the threshold of your own heart and pray?

If the Friend arose inside you, would you open like a rose,
The water of His Mercy raining on the garden of your sweet soul?

Ah, would you open?
Ah, would you pray?
Ah, would you open and pray?

Cast your heart into His Fire. Cast your tears into His Sea.
Cast your soul into the gentle heaven of His Laughter and be.
Deep within the self a mirror. Deep within the drop a sea.
Deep within the lover's breast, He placed a hidden treasure -- Love's seed.
Burning in His Fire. Drowning in His Sea. Only one desire -- to BE.

I can feel His Breath upon me, as He enters secretly.
Deep inside me burning, swirling streams of mercy pour through this reed.

There is none like my Beloved. La ilaha illa'llah.
Turning and returning, God increase this yearning, calling the called.

None like my Beloved, illa'llah. La ilaha illa'llah.
Only God. Illa'llah.
