“Crimson Ink” by Danny Stevenson

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, Danny Stevenson sings “Crimson Ink”, from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

This song was filmed and recorded in London, England, September 2015.

Lyrics & Quote

O SON OF MAN! Write all that We have revealed unto thee with the ink of light upon the tablet of thy spirit. Should this not be in thy power, then make thine ink of the essence of thy heart. If this thou canst not do, then write with that crimson ink that hath been shed in My path. Sweeter indeed is this to Me than all else, that its light may endure for ever.

Baha’u’llah

Write all that We have revealed unto thee
with the ink of light upon the tablet of thy spirit.
Should this not be in thy power,
then make thine ink of the essence of thy heart.

If this thou canst not do,
then write with that crimson ink that hath been shed in My path.
Sweeter indeed is this to Me than all else,
that its light may endure for ever.
