“Tender Herb” by Mitra & Mea

Baha’i Blog 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 Helsinki, Finland with Mitra Matouf and Mea Karvonen who sing “Tender Herb” from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

This song was filmed and recorded in Helsinki, Finland, November 2016.

Lyrics & Quote

If it be Thy pleasure, make me to grow as a tender herb in the meadows of Thy grace, that the gentle winds of Thy will may stir me up and bend me into conformity with Thy pleasure, in such wise that my movement and my stillness may be wholly directed by Thee.

Baha’u’llah
