“Rely Upon God” by Sabria, Efe, Rafael & Maarten

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 Tilburg, in the Netherlands with Sabria Schouten, Efe, Rafael van der Hoeven and Maarten Noordzij who sing “Rely Upon God” based on a prayer by Abdu’l-Baha.

This song was filmed and recorded in Tilburg, Netherlands, November 2017.

Lyrics & Quote

Rely upon God. Trust in Him. Praise Him, and call Him continually to mind. He verily turneth trouble into ease, and sorrow into solace, and toil into utter peace. He verily hath dominion over all things.
