O amis

Let Us Put Aside

(capo 5) Dm Am C G

O ESSENCE OF NEGLIGENCE! 
Myriads of mystic tongues find utterance 
in one speech, 

and myriads of hidden mysteries are revealed 
in a single melody; 

yet, alas, there is no ear to hear, nor heart to understand.


Recorded at Sydney ISGP Undergraduate Seminar

O Essence Of Negligence (Remastered) - jtdubss

Am C G D

Be not dismayed, O peoples of the world,
when the day star of My beauty is set, 
and the heaven of My tabernacle is concealed
concealed from your eyes 
Arise to further My Cause, and to exalt My Word amongst men
We are with you at all times
and shall strengthen you through the power of truth
the power of truth x4

Be Not Dismayed - Haylee

"Thy Name is my Healing" by Jamey Heath

Converging on Canada’s Vancouver Island, songwriter/recording artists Eric Dozier (Harlem Gospel Choir, One Human Family) and JB Eckl (Santana, WAR, Ozomatli) set out to bring their diverse musical backgrounds together for a music-infused devotional experience. Drawing on the Baha’i sacred Writings for lyrics and inspiration, and incorporating elements of soul, rock, Gospel, folk and world music, this first collaboration weaves a rich tapestry of sound at once expansive and intimate, introspective and jubilant.

The Badasht Project seeks to explore how the use of beauty, music and the arts can serve as a catalyst for change, consciousness, revolution, and insight.
