Baha’is believe in the power of prayer and you’ll find Baha’is and their friends, throughout the world, getting together to pray. This is often referred to as a ‘devotional gathering’ or ‘devotional meeting’, and they happen in diverse settings, whether in cities or villages.
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 Willikies in Antigua and Barbuda with Katie Eckert, Deborah Eckert and Ali Youssefi singing “Blessed” from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Willikies in Antigua and Barbuda, on March 28th, 2021, and was composed by Michele Gaston.
Here is the quote used for the lyrics followed by the quote and chords:
