“Create in Me a Pure Heart” by Negin Zabihi

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 Frankfurt, Germany with Negin Zabihi who sings “Create in Me a Pure Heart”, from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

This song was filmed and recorded in Frankfurt, Germany, December 2018.
