Thou seest, O Thou Who art my All-Glorious Beloved, the restless waves that surge within the ocean of my heart,

This song was filmed and recorded at Louie Shelton's (www.louieshelton.com) home studio in the Gold Coast, Australia, July 2015.

Here is the quote below followed by the quote with the chords:

"Be thou not unhappy; the tempest of sorrow shall pass; regret will not last; disappointment will vanish...Associate thou, as much as thou canst, with the relatives and strangers; display thou loving kindness; show thou forth the utmost patience and resignation. The more they oppose thee, shower thou upon them the greater justice and equity; the more they show hatred and opposition toward thee, challenge thou them with great truthfulness, friendship and reconciliation..."
 -Abdu'l-Baha

Gmaj7 Am7 Bm7 Am7 (Repeat)

Be thou not unhappy; the tempest of sorrow shall pass; 
regret will not last; disappointment will vanish... (X2)

Associate thou, as much as thou canst, with the relatives and strangers; 
display thou loving kindness; show thou forth the utmost patience and resignation. 

The more they oppose thee, shower thou upon them the greater justice and equity;

the more they show hatred and opposition toward thee,
challenge thou them with great truthfulness, friendship and reconciliation...(X2)

Be thou not unhappy; the tempest of sorrow shall pass; 
regret will not last; disappointment will vanish...

"Sorrow Shall Pass" by Devina & Raneesha Saberi

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every purpose 
under heaven 
(under heaven)
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up 
what is planted; 
(what is planted)

	He has made everything 
	beautiful
	in its own time; also He 
	has put
	eternity in their heart,
	yet so that man does not
	find out what God
	has done from the 
	beginning
	to the end. 

A time to kill, and a time to heal; 
A time to tear down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; 
A time to mourn, and a time to dance; 
A time to cast away stones,
and a time to gather stones together; 
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain
from embracing; 

A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to be silent, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; 
A time for war, and a time for peace.
(A time for everything)

1-Para todo hay un tiempo, y un tiempo para todo lo que se hace bajo el cielo.
Tiempo de nacer y tiempo de morir;
tiempo de plantar y tiempo de arrancar lo plantado;
(lo plantado).

Él hizo todo hermoso a su tiempo; también puso eternidad en sus corazones,
pero para que el hombre no descubra lo que Dios ha hecho desde el principio hasta el fin.

2-Tiempo de matar y tiempo de sanar;
tiempo de derribar y tiempo de edificar;
tiempo de llorar y tiempo de reír;
tiempo de lamentarse y tiempo de bailar;
tiempo de esparcir piedras y tiempo de juntar piedras;
tiempo de abrazar y tiempo de abstenerse de abrazar;

3-tiempo de buscar y tiempo de perder. Tiempo de guardar, y tiempo de desechar;
tiempo de romper, y tiempo de coser;
tiempo de callar, y tiempo de hablar;
tiempo de amar, y tiempo de odiar;
tiempo de guerra, y tiempo de paz.
(Un tiempo para todo)

 I have no occupation save mention of Thee and no aspiration save serving Thee."
