Make My Prayer

Wert Thou To Speed

O Wayfarer

1-Jesus Lord, You’re our first love;
You’re the One we love the best.
When our heart is loving You,
How we’re filled with Your sweet rest!

2-Lord, we love You for Yourself,
Not for what You give or do.
Nothing else could e’er compare
With the joy of loving You.

	Lord, we’ve been drawn off by many things;
	Now we turn our heart back—
	How it sings!
	We repent of loving other things
	Jesus Lord, You’re our first love.

3-Never more could we desire
Anything that’s less than You,
And to this we will aspire—
Simply to be filled with You.

4-Jesus Lord, You’re our first love;
You’re the One we love the best.
When our heart is loving You,
How we’re filled with Your sweet rest!

1 Tú eres el primer amor
De todos es el mejor,
Y así el corazón, 
Descansa sólo en Tu amor.

2 Te amamos por ser Tú,
No por lo que Tú nos das,
No se puede comparar,
El gozo de amarte a Ti.

Cuántas cosas se han dejado ya.
Nuestro corazón se vuelve a Ti,
No amamos nada más que a Ti!
Tú eres el mejor amor!

3 Nada deseamos ya,
Nada que no seas Tú,
Nada aspiramos ya,
Sólo ser llenos de Ti.

4 Tú eres el primer amor
De todos es el mejor,
Y así el corazón, 
Descansa sólo en Tu amor.

O Thou kind Lord!  Unite all.  Let the religions agree and make the nations one, 
so that they may see each other as one family and the whole earth as one home.  
May they all live together in perfect harmony. O Thou kind Lord!  Unite all.  x2

Unite All

This song called “Turn”, is the tenth song in a collection of 10 songs called ‘Music Inspired by the Heroes Teaching Conference’.

In April this year, some 1,000 Baha’is and like-minded friends from all over Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales, Australia, gathered together in the city of Brisbane to attend a historic conference aimed to help its participants find their place in service to Baha’u’llah and humanity.

The conference was called ‘The Heroes Teaching Conference’, and woven throughout the two-day program were beautiful songs performed by conference participants who were inspired by stories of heroism in the Baha’i Faith’s history, and from the spirit generated at the event. Within a few weeks after the conference, these songs were recorded live in a music studio in Brisbane, and we’re so excited to share this wonderful collection of inspiring songs!

Here is the quote from the Baha’i Writings used for the lyrics of the song:

“My God, my Adored One, my King, my Desire!  What tongue can voice my thanks to Thee?  I was heedless, Thou didst awaken me.  I had turned back from Thee, Thou didst graciously aid me to turn towards Thee.”
-Baha’u’llah
