On a spring evening on May 22rd, 1844, Siyyid Ali-Muhammad announced that He was the bearer of a Divine Revelation whose aim was to prepare the world for “Him Whom God Shall Make Manifest,” a Messenger of God known as Baha’u’llah. Baha’is refer to Siyyid Ali-Muhammad by His title, the Bab, which is Arabic for “the Gate,” and that eventful evening is celebrated every year by Baha’is around the world.
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 Phoenix, Arizona with Carl Brehmer who sings “I Am the Promised One” from the Bab’s address in The Dawn-Breakers.
This song was filmed and recorded in Phoenix, Arizona, December 2017.
I am, I am, the promised One! I am the One whose name you have for a thousand years invoked, at whose mention you have risen, whose advent you have longed to witness, and the hour of whose Revelation you have prayed God to hasten.
The Bab
Alternate: F/D and G I am, I am, I am, the promised One! The One whose name you have for a thousand years invoked at whose mention you have risen, and the advent of whose Revelation you have prayed God to hasten. I am, the promised one.

Nice video! You need to check out Stephen Hampton in Chattanooga TN. He’s fairly legendary in Southeast with the music he’s written to Bahai Writings. He’s retired & has volumes of music.

I really appreciated this! It has so many elements of classic American Bluegrass style. The Revelation of Baha’u’llah can accommodate all cultures and forms of expression that are unifying. Thanks for this.
