“O God My God” by Friends in Malaysia

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, we’re in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with Harvin Mageyndren, Nishana Rajan, Satchit Ananda, Shalynn Subromaniam, Sharlene Rani and Prasad VS who sing “O God My God” from the Writings of Baha’u’llah and the Bab.

This song was filmed and recorded in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, September 2019.

Lyrics & Quotes

O God, my God, my Beloved, my heart’s Desire.

The Bab

O SON OF SPIRIT!
My first counsel is this: Possess a pure, kindly and radiant heart, that thine may be a sovereignty ancient, imperishable and everlasting.

Baha’u’llah

O SON OF BEING!
Love Me, that I may love thee. If thou lovest Me not, My love can in no wise reach thee. Know this, O servant.

Baha’u’llah
