“Shine Ye” by Devina & Raneesha Saberi

Baha’i Blog’s “Studio Sessions” is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to share the Baha’i Writings put to music.

In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, sisters Devina and Raneesha Saberi sing “Shine Ye”, based on an excerpt from a tablet by Abdu’l-Baha.

This song was filmed and recorded at Louie Shelton’s home studio in The Gold Coast, Australia, July 2015.

Lyrics & Quote

Shine ye like unto the sun and roar and move like unto the sea; impart life to mountain and desert like unto clouds, and similar to the vernal breeze, bestow freshness, grace and elegance on the trees of human temples.

Abdu’l-Baha
