I did not compose this beautiful song :-)  
I believe that it was composed by one or more Bahá'í friends in Australia
This is the link to the original song, from Bahá'í Blog: https://youtu.be/L_Np-yo5wyU?si=StruExDpTii8QWVh
Thank you for this special, beautiful piece of music.
This song always reminds me of when we would sing it together in the dorms♥︎

This talk, given as part of the Wilmette Institute's 20th Anniversary web talk series, focuses on the Manifestation (or messenger) of God, their nature and powers, to what extent their revelation has a human component, and what their experience as revelators is.

Baha'i Web Talks: The Face Of God Among Us, with John Hatcher

A great talk given by Professor Nader Saiedi called “Identity and the Spiritual Journey in the Badi Calendar” organised by the Local Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Santa Monica, California. 

Last year, the Universal House of Justice sent a letter to the global Baha'i community implementing the worldwide adoption of the Baha'i calendar, known to Baha'is as the Badi calendar, and in this 99 minute talk, Professor Saiedi explains and reflects on various aspects of its nature and history. 

Professor Nader Saiedi is well known for his books 'Logos and Civilization' and 'Gate of the Heart'. Born in Tehran, Iran. He holds a master’s degree in economics from Pahlavi University in Shiraz and a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Wisconsin. For over 25 years he was a professor of sociology at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. In 2013, he became the Taslimi Foundation Professor of Baha’i Studies in the department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at UCLA.

Here is the quotation used for the lyrics below followed by the quotation and chords:
 
“O Lord! Unto Thee I repair for refuge, and toward all Thy signs I set my heart.
O Lord! Whether traveling or at home, and in my occupation or in my work, I place my whole trust in Thee.
Grant me then Thy sufficing help so as to make me independent of all things, O Thou Who art unsurpassed in Thy mercy!
Bestow upon me my portion, O Lord, as Thou pleasest, and cause me to be satisfied with whatsoever Thou hast ordained for me.
Thine is the absolute authority to command.”
- The Bab
