Intone, O My Servant

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

We want these songs to serve as a resource for you and your community, so you can find the song lyrics (or the Baha'i Writings used) and the chords to the song in the text below, and also below the video on our YouTube Channel.

"Is There Any Remover" by The Licata Brothers

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 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.

You can also check out Baha'i Blog's interview with Tom Francis here: 

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.

En verite, la justice est un don que je te fais, le signe de ma tendre bonte. Ne la perds donc pas de vue.”

“O Son of Spirit! The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others, and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge of thy neighbor. Ponder this in thy heart; how it behooveth thee to be. Verily justice is My gift to thee and the sign of My loving-kindness. Set it then before thine eyes."

Unity Prayer

"Unity Prayer" by Omid Master

O SON OF SPIRIT! My first counsel is this: Possess a pure, kindly and radiant heart, that thine may be a sovereignty ancient, imperishable and everlasting.

''O SON OF SPIRIT! My first counsel is this...''

From the Writings of the Baha'i Faith

O SON OF JUSTICE!
Whither can a lover go but to the land of his beloved? and what seeker findeth rest away from his heart's desire? To the true lover reunion is life, and separation is death. His breast is void of patience and his heart hath no peace. A myriad lives he would forsake to hasten to the abode of his beloved.

	(Baha'u'llah, The Persian Hidden Words)


O Son of Justice! Whither can a lover go?
