June 18, 2023 will mark 40 years since 10 Baha’i women were hanged in Shiraz. Their only ‘crime’ was their refusal to renounce their beliefs in a faith that promotes the principles of gender equality, unity, justice, and truthfulness. This collection highlights Baha’i Blog content relating to the ongoing persecution of Baha’is in Iran.
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 Vancouver, Canada with Naseem Bahraini, Michele Jubilee Davey-Hatcher and Yasmin Vahedi who sing “O Son of Spirit”, from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Vancouver, Canada January, 2017.
Lyrics & Quote
O SON OF SPIRIT! Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created.
Baha’u’llah
Chords
(Capo 4) Em G D
