Beg Plead Pray

“North Carolina Homestead with Mountains and Field” (Painting by W.A. Walker)

Beg Plead Pray is an American nasheed in praise of the Prophet ﷺ by North Carolinian singer-songwriter (and hidden gem) Shane Atkinson. Sung in a distinctive blues style, it has been lovingly referred to as a “Southern-fried qasida”.

Lyrics

1. You are the one that’s most praised
In the heavens and on earth, now.
We can’t do enough to praise you.
We can never know your worth, now.
To be with you one day,
We beg, we plead, we pray.

2. We wanna see ya by the Pool,
Where we smile and share embraces;
But while we’re still upon the earth,
May our action bear your traces.
To be with you one day,
We beg, we plead, we pray.

3. There is beauty of the form.
There is beauty of behavior.
All was given right to you,
From the Merciful Creator.
To be with you one day,
We beg, we plead, we pray.
