“Bright Orbs” by Jordan & Sophie

February 4, 2025, in Music > Studio Session, by

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 Brisbane, Australia with Jordan Raj and Sophie Raj who sing “Bright Orbs” based on the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha. 

This song was filmed and recorded in Brisbane, Australia in August 2023 and it was composed by Tamara Duncan.

LYRICS/QUOTE:

These two bright orbs are wedded in Thy love, conjoined in servitude to Thy Holy Threshold, united in ministering to Thy Cause. Make Thou this marriage to be as threading lights of Thine abounding grace […] that there may branch out from this great tree boughs that will grow green and flourishing through the gifts that rain down from Thy clouds of grace.

CHORDS:

Capo 3, Repeat: Cadd9, G, Em7, Dsus

(Dsus can be alternated into Dmaj for variation)

(G chord played with D note on 2nd string, 3rd fret)
