At some point in our lives, we all suffer from illnesses of the body or the mind and we face tests and difficulties. This collection highlights resources dedicated to physical and spiritual health and well-being, healing, resilience and overcoming challenges.
Baha’i Blog 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 Seattle, USA with Camila and Friends singing “The Happy Song” based on quotations from Abdu’l-Baha and Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Seattle, USA, August 2019, and the singers are Rob Domos, Camila Matamala-Ost, Shereen Khorami, Yosi Mesbah and Nikka Malakooti.
Here are the quotations used for the lyrics below followed by the chords:
