“O Son of Man” by Steph & James

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 London, United Kingdom with James Mohajer and Steph Zahrai singing “O Son of Man” from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

This song was filmed and recorded in London, United Kingdom, in September 2018.

O SON OF MAN! If thou lovest Me, turn away from thyself; and if thou seekest My pleasure, regard not thine own; that thou mayest die in Me and I may eternally live in thee.
