Organised by the Regional Baha'i Council and Board of Counsellors, the program aimed to help its participants find their place in service to Baha’u’llah and humanity, by drawing on the heroism of the past, inspiring them to arise, through humble service, and become heroes of the Faith for this age.

"O SON OF BEING! Make mention of Me on My earth, that in My heaven I may remember thee, thus shall Mine eyes and thine be solaced."  -Baha'u'llah

LYRICS & CHORDS: 

PARADISE:

C            G
O lord make me, just an empty cup

F            C                   G
With my head hung low and my hands held up

C            G
All my treasures and all my days

F             C          G
I would gladly give for a single gaze

F            Am
My heart has finally found a home

C            Em    F
Here in Paradise, here in Paradi - ise

F            Am
My heart has finally found a home

C             Em    F
Here in Paradise, here in Paradi - ise

C             G
If I lay my spirit at your feet

F             C            G
If I give my body to the endless sea

C             G
I would burn away like Breakwell did

F             C       G
I would give my praise by the life I live

My heart has finally found a home

C              Em    F
Here in Paradise, here in Paradi - ise

F             Am
My heart has finally found a home

C             Em     F
Here in Paradise, here in Paradi - ise  x 2
