1. Lord of Love
How better to begin an album devoted to Avatar Meher Baba than with an a cappella invocation to Him, “Lord of Love, Lord of Light?” This song was written synchronously with the 40th Anniversary Celebration of the 1967 ground swell of Meher Baba followers in Chapel Hill.

Words and music by Darryl Smith
1. Can you hear His Divine call? Through creation for one and all?
The victory belongs to Him. Enter into His rhythm.
Chorus:
Meher Baba, Meher Baba, Lord of Love, Lord of Light
Meher Baba, Meher Baba, Lord of Love, Come to us tonight!
2. Can you feel that He is here? Do you know His love is real?
Can you sense His presence? Can you smell sweet fragrance?
3. Strip away worldly care. Long for Him everywhere.
There’s no place He is not. In His net we are caught.
4. In His eyes see the fire. In His heart consume desire.
In His Love - Feel free. In His arms are you and me.
5. Can you touch His damaan? Can you hold it on and on and on?
Can you sing countless praise endlessly, for days and days?
