“Fire of Thy Love” by Shira

In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Stratford, Canada with Shira who sings “Fire of Thy Love” based on a passage from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

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.

This song was filmed and recorded in Stratford, Canada in April 2026.

This song was composed by Shira. 

LYRICS/QUOTE:

Ignite, then, O my God, within my breast the fire of Thy love, that its flame may burn up all else except my remembrance of Thee, that every trace of corrupt desire may be entirely mortified within me, and that naught may remain except the glorification of Thy transcendent and all-glorious Being. This is my highest aspiration, mine ardent desire…

CHORDS:

F, F7, Am, G (C7, Em and D a few times as well)
