Baha’is believe in the power of prayer and you’ll find Baha’is and their friends, throughout the world, getting together to pray. This is often referred to as a ‘devotional gathering’ or ‘devotional meeting’, and they happen in diverse settings, whether in cities or villages.
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 Chicago, USA with Katie Malberg and Faizi Fifita who sing “Love is Light” based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah and Abdu’l-Baha.
This song was filmed and recorded in Chicago, USA, December, 2018.
Here is the quotation used for the lyrics below, followed by the quotation and chords:

Love is the light that guideth in darkness, the living link that uniteth God with man, that assureth the progress of every illumined soul.
