Where can we find the lyrics to Make me as dust performed by Tom Francis at Australian world conference? We want to sing along but are unsure of some of the words. Are the lyrics from a prayer or some other Bahai tablet? Thank you

Hi Sophia! Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, we don’t have the lyrics or the chords to the songs from the Queensland world conferences at this time.

This song is both based on Tom Francis’ lyrics and on these words of Abdu’l-Baha: Make me as dust in the pathway of Thy loved ones, and grant that I may offer up my soul for the earth ennobled by the footsteps of Thy chosen ones in Thy path, O Lord of Glory in the Highest.

I wish I could be more help!

Hi Emily,

I’m afraid we still do not have the chords to this song. I wish we could be of more help.

Thank you for asking!
