“Lose Ourselves” by Alex, Asha, Renya and Alia

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 Perth, Australia with Alexandre Evans, Asha Kiani, Renya Golestani, and Alia Golestani singing “Lose Ourselves”, based on the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha.

This song was filmed and recorded in Perth, Australia, 9 October 2019.

Here is the quotation used for the lyrics followed by the lyrics and chords below:

Lyrics & Quote

Let us put aside all thoughts of self; let us close our eyes to all on earth, let us neither make known our sufferings nor complain of our wrongs. Rather let us become oblivious of our own selves, and drinking down the wine of heavenly grace, let us cry out our joy, and lose ourselves in the beauty of the All-Glorious.

Abdu’l-Baha
