regret will not last; disappointment will vanish...

"¡Gloria sea a Ti, oh mi Dios! Si no fuera por las tribulaciones sufri­das en Tu sendero, ¿como podrian ser reconocidos quienes verdaderamente Te aman?, y si no fuera por las pruebas su­fridas por amor a Ti, ¿como podria re­velarse la posicion de aquellos que Te anhelan? ¡Tu poder me lo atestigua! Las lagrimas vertidas son la compañía de to­dos aquellos que Te adoran; los lamentos proferidos, el consuelo de aquellos que Te buscan; y los pedazos de sus rotos co­razones el alimento de aquellos que se apresuran por encontrarte.

¡Cuan dulce es para mi la amargura de la muerte sufrida en Tu sendero, y cuan preciados los dardos de Tus enemigos cuando son encontrados por amor a la exaltacion de Tu palabra! Dejame beber en Tu Causa todo lo que Tu has deseado, oh mi Dios, y enviame, por Tu amor, todo lo que Tu ordenaste. ¡Por Tu gloria! Sólo deseo lo que Tu deseas, y anhelo lo que Tu anhelas. En Ti he puesto siempre toda mi fe y confianza.

Te imploro, oh mi Dios, que hagas surgir a quienes sean dignos de Tu nom­bre y soberania, para que ayuden a esta Revelacion, me recuerden entre Tus criaturas e icen los emblemas de Tu victoria en Tu tierra.

Potente eres Tu para hacer lo que Te place. No hay Dios sino Tu, Quien ayuda en el peligro, Quien subsiste por Si mismo."

- Baha'u'llah

Chords: C E Am G

Gloria a Ti, Oh mi Dios, sino fuera por las tribulaciones
en tu sendero
Como podría conocerse a tus amantes verdaderos

Como podria revelarse
La posición de quien te anhela
Sino fuera por las pruebas sufridas por tu amor, 
sufridas por tu amor

Gloria a Ti, Oh mi Dios, sino fuera por las tribulaciones
en tu sendero
Como podría conocerse a tus amantes verdaderos,
a tus amantes verdaderos

Los compañeros de quien te adoran
son las lagrimas
que derrama el consuelo de quien te busca,
Son los lamentos que profiere
el alimento de quien te anhela,
Son los lamentos de su corazon
Son los lamentos de su corazon

Gloria a Ti, Oh mi Dios, sino fuera por las tribulaciones
en tu sendero
Como podria conocerse a tus amantes verdaderos
a tus amantes verdaderos

Cuan dulce es la amapola de la muerte en tu sendero
Cuan preciados son los dardos sufridos por amor a exaltar tu palabra
por amor a exaltar tu palabra

Deseo lo que tu deseas y anhelo solo lo que tu anhelas
Deseo lo que tu deseas y anhelo solo lo que tu anhelas

Gloria a Ti, Oh mi Dios, sino fuera por las tribulaciones
en tu sendero
Como podria conocerse a tus amantes verdaderos
a tus amantes verdaderos

Gloria a Ti, Oh mi Dios, sino fuera por las tribulaciones
en tu sendero
Como podria conocerse a tus amantes verdaderos
a tus amantes verdaderos

Cuan dulce es la amargura de la muerte en tu sendero.

Behold Baha's outpouring grace - Haifa youth

'Music inspired by the Heroes Teaching Conference' is a collection of songs inspired by and recorded in light of 'The Heroes Teaching Conference' (6-7 April, 2019). The conference was an historic gathering of over 1,000 Baha'i and like-minded friends from all over Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales, Australia.

Organised by the Regional Baha'i Council and Board of Counsellors, the program aimed to help its participants find their place in service to Baha’u’llah and humanity, by drawing on the heroism of the past, inspiring them to arise, through humble service, and become heroes of the Faith for this age.
