Baha’i beliefs address essential spiritual themes for humanity’s collective and individual advancement. Learn more about these and more.
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, Max Weigert sings “Guide Me” based on a prayer by Abdu’l-Baha.
This song was filmed and recorded in Madrid, Spain, October, 2015.
O God, guide me, protect me, make of me a shining lamp and a brilliant star. Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful
Abdu’l-Baha

You composed an upbeat and catchy tune, Max. Love it! Your YouTube guitar tutorials are very helpful, and I have learned to play some of your songs–thank you! Would you consider posting a tutorial of Guide Me and I Want You To Be Happy too?

We also have a version of that prayer. Intended for children. Somewhat slow in tempo or beat.

The chords are also helpful especially for beginners or those who want to learn to play guitar.

I liked this version of the prayer so much that I shared it on my profile page. Great job composing and singing!
