“The Keys” by Shaun Gould

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 Washington DC, USA with Shaun Gould who sings “The Keys” from the Writings of the Baha’u’llah.

This song was filmed and recorded in Washington DC, USA, October 2018.

Here is the quotation used for the lyrics below followed by the chords and lyrics:

That which He hath reserved for Himself are the cities of men’s hearts; and of these the loved ones of Him Who is the Sovereign Truth are, in this Day, as the keys. Please God they may, one and all, be enabled to unlock, through the power of the Most Great Name, the gates of these cities.
