“Thou Art My dominion” by Shameem Taheri-Lee

May 27, 2025, in Music > Studio Session, by

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 Perth, Australia with Shameem Taheri-Lee who sings “Thou Art My Dominion” based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

This song was filmed and recorded in Perth, Australia in December 2023. 

LYRICS/QUOTE:

O SON OF MAN!

Thou art My dominion and My dominion perisheth not; wherefore fearest thou thy perishing? Thou art My light and My light shall never be extinguished; why dost thou dread extinction? Thou art My glory and My glory fadeth not; thou art My robe and My robe shall never be outworn. Abide then in thy love for Me, that thou mayest find Me in the realm of glory.
