Wicked Game (Cover)

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

Here is the quotation used for the lyrics below followed by the quotation and chords:
 
"He is God!
O peerless Lord! In Thine almighty wisdom Thou hast enjoined marriage upon the peoples, that the generations of men may succeed one another in this contingent world, and that ever, so long as the world shall last, they may busy themselves at the Threshold of Thy oneness with servitude and worship, with salutation, adoration and praise. “I have not created spirits and men, but that they should worship me.” Wherefore, wed Thou in the heaven of Thy mercy these two birds of the nest of Thy love, and make them the means of attracting perpetual grace; that from the union of these two seas of love a wave of tenderness may surge and cast the pearls of pure and goodly issue on the shore of life. “He hath let loose the two seas, that they meet each other: Between them is a barrier which they overpass not. Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye deny? From each He bringeth up greater and lesser pearls.”
O Thou kind Lord! Make Thou this marriage to bring forth coral and pearls. Thou art verily the All-Powerful, the Most Great, the Ever-Forgiving."
- Abdu’l-Baha

Chords: E A D E

O SON OF UTTERANCE! Turn thy face unto Mine and renounce all save Me; for My sovereignty endureth 
and My dominion perisheth not.  x3
If thou seekest another than Me, yea, if thou searchest the universe for evermore, thy quest will be in vain.

O Son Of Utterance

Chords: G Em C D

The divine friends must be attracted to and enamoured of each other and ever 
be ready and willing to sacrifice 
their own lives for each other. Should one soul from amongst the believers meet another
