“Blessed is the Spot” by Jamesley & Leon

Baha’i Blog’s “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, Jamesley Cavanagh and Leon Hall sing “Blessed is the Spot”, based on a prayer by Baha’u’llah.

This song was filmed and recorded in Brisbane, Australia, February 2016.
