as I perform devotion this early morning before sunrise this sweet song awakens me to this Day.  Thank you!

If One Teaches - Haylee

I Adjure Thee

„Christ, the Completion“

The saddest song of All

Baha’i Blog’s “Studio Sessions” is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.

In this Baha'i Blog Studio Session, we're in Sydney, Australia with Carmel Zein who sings "Broken Winged Bird", based on a prayer from Abdu'l-Baha. 

Here is the quote used in the song:

"O God! O God! This is a broken-winged bird and his flight is very slow—assist him so that he may fly toward the apex of prosperity and salvation, wing his way with the utmost joy and happiness throughout the illimitable space, raise his melody in Thy Supreme Name in all the regions, exhilarate the ears with this call, and brighten the eyes by beholding the signs of guidance.

O Lord! I am single, alone and lowly. For me there is no support save Thee, no helper except Thee and no sustainer beside Thee. Confirm me in Thy service, assist me with the cohorts of Thy angels..."

-Abdu'l-Baha

"O Thou Whose face is the object of my adoration, Whose beauty is my sanctuary, Whose habitation is my goal, Whose praise is my hope, Whose providence is my companion, Whose love is the cause of my being, Whose mention is my solace, Whose nearness is my desire, Whose presence is my dearest wish and highest aspiration, I entreat Thee not to withhold from me the things Thou didst ordain for the chosen ones among Thy servants.  Supply me, then, with the good of this world and of the next.

Thou, truly, art the King of all men.  There is no God but Thee, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Generous."

In Serried Lines

Le Atua e Taitai au

Bell rings it’s time for lunch
I see my friends together
Then I see, someone alone 
Someone I’ve never talked to
Should I go and say hello
I want to show I care
I know my friends are watching me
Wondering what I’ll do? 

I take a breath
I take a step 
It’s the right thing to do
This might be hard
But I’ve come this far
I know what it’s like to be you 

I heard they’re different 
I heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop me from trying 	
Differences are a source of strength
I know this is true 
I heard they’re different 
I heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop me from trying 	
Differences are a source of strength
I know this is true 

Next day I see my friends
They come to me and say 
We saw you sit with someone new 
What will you do today 
I wonder why these differences 
Make us feel afraid
If we search for truth ourselves
I wonder what we’ll do? 

We take a breath 
We take a step 
It’s the right thing to do
This might be hard
But we’ve come this far
We know what it’s like to be you 

We heard they’re different 
We heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop us from trying 
Differences are a source of strength
We know this is true
We heard they’re different 
We heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop us from trying 
Differences are a source of strength
We know this is true
We heard they’re different 
We heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop us from trying 
Differences are a source of strength
We know this is true
We heard they’re different 
We heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop us from trying 
Differences are a source of strength
We know this is true
