“O Son of Being” by Bakang Nakedi

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 Johannesburg, South Africa with Bakang Nakedi who sings “O Son of Being” from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

This song was filmed and recorded in Johannesburg, South Africa, September 2017.

Lyrics & Quote

O SON OF BEING! With the hands of power I made thee and with the fingers of strength I created thee; and within thee have I placed the essence of My light. Be thou content with it and seek naught else, for My work is perfect and My command is binding. Question it not, nor have a doubt thereof.

Baha’u’llah
