Baha'i Blog's "Studio Sessions" is a series of videos on Baha'i Blog's YouTube Channel where we invite Baha'is and their friends from around the world into a studio to record and share a song or two based on the Baha'i Writings which they've put to music.

In this Baha'i Blog Studio Session, we're in Sydney, Australia, with sisters Shireen and Carmel Zein who sing "What a Power is Love", based on an excerpt from a talk given by Abdu'l-Baha.

We hope you enjoy this new series, and please subscribe to Baha'i Blog's YouTube Channel to get updates on new Baha'i-inspired videos like this one and more.

Below is the quotation on its own, and then followed by the quotation with the chords:

"What a power is love! It is the most wonderful, the greatest of all living powers.
Love gives life to the lifeless. Love lights a flame in the heart that is cold. Love brings hope to the hopeless and gladdens the hearts of the sorrowful.
In the world of existence there is indeed no greater power than the power of love."
                                           -Abdu'l-Baha

In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we do something a little different. We're in Los Angeles, USA with Tom Francis who sings a cover of the song “Mona With the Children”,  originally by Doug Cameron.

The song is a protest song based on the true story of an Iranian Baha’i girl named Mona Mahmudnizhad, who, in 1983, at the age of 16, together with nine other Baha’i women, was sentenced to death and hanged in Shiraz, Iran, because she was a Baha’i.

http://bahaiblog.net/site/2014/12/interview-tom-francis/

Here are the lyrics to the song:

A 16 year old girl living in a land so cruel, she said this where I've got to be.
Taken in the night, her heart full of light, she said this where I've got to be.
How can I tell you, how could she be so young to know the truth in all her dreams.
She stands before them to hear them say, save your life and throw your faith away.
Mona With the Children send your love to me
All around the world we'll go dancing.
Mona With the Children send your love to me
Every precious moment you'll be dancing
Every precious moment we'll be free.
I can see her in my heart when the whole world is falling apart she said, this where I've got to be.
Captive in the light, a love that burns so bright, this where I've got to be.
When they asked her, what could she say, she said
You can't break my heart, you can't take my faith away
When they told her the price she'll have to pay
She said take my life, take it all the way, all the way.
Mona With the Children send your love to me
All around the world I see you dancing.
Mona With the Children send your love to me
Every precious moment you'll be dancing
Every precious moment you'll be free.
Mona With the Children send your love to me
All around the world our souls go dancing.
Mona With the Children you gave your life
All around the world we’ll go dancing
All around the world we’ll be free.
Mona With the Children send your love
All around the world souls are dancing.
Mona With the Children, send your love to me
All around the world I see you dancing, so pretty dancing.
Mona With the Children Mona send your love
All around the world we’ll go dancing.
Mona With the Children send your love to me
Every precious day, I’ll be dancing, I’ll be dancing.

O Thou the Merciful One!  O my Lord!  Make Thy protection my armor, Thy preservation my shield, humbleness before the door of Thy oneness my guard, and Thy custody and defense my fortress and my abode.  Preserve me from the suggestions of self and desire, and guard me from every sickness, trial, difficulty and ordeal.

Verily, Thou art the Protector, the Guardian, the Preserver, the Sufficer, and verily, Thou art the Merciful of the Most Merciful."

- Abdu'l-Baha

This song was filmed and recorded in Essen, Germany, July 2016.

Here is the quote below followed by the chords:

"Verily I say, this is the Day in which mankind can behold the Face, and hear the Voice, of the Promised One. The Call of God hath been raised, and 11 the light of His countenance hath been lifted up upon men. It behoveth every man to blot out the trace of every idle word from the tablet of his heart, and to gaze, with an open and unbiased mind, on the signs of His Revelation, the proofs of His Mission, and the tokens of His glory." - Baha'u'llah
