Pacific Inspiration 2 – 3 (more!) Songs from the Islands of Fiji

February 2, 2025, in Music > Community, by

These three devotional songs shared by a group of friends in Fiji were recorded around the same time as “The Baha’is of Fiji: A Glimpse into Community Building Through the Training Institute”, an amazing documentary created to celebrate 100 years of the Baha’i Faith in Fiji.

The first song is based on passages and phrases from the 2024 Ridvan Message from the Universal House of Justice.

The second song is based on the following excerpt from The Hidden Words by Baha’u’llah:

O Son of Light! Forget all save Me and commune with My spirit. This is of the essence of My command, therefore turn unto it.

The third song, sung in Fijian, is the following English passage of The Hidden Words:

O SON OF BEING! Love Me, that I may love thee. If thou lovest Me not, My love can in no wise reach thee. Know this, O servant.

We’re delighted that this is the second time we’ve shared a trio of devotional songs from Fiji.
