“Shining Lamp” by Martha & Mahdis

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, Martha Golbarani and Mahdis Mahdavi sing “Shining Lamp”, based on a prayer by Abdu’l-Baha. 

This song was filmed and recorded in Brisbane, Australia, February 2016.

Lyrics & Quote

O God, guide me, protect me, make of me a shining lamp and a brilliant star. Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful.

Abdu’l-Baha
