“Threading Lights” by Gina Williams

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 Brisbane, Australia with Gina Williams who sings “Threading Lights” based on the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha. 

This song was filmed and recorded in Brisbane, Australia in August 2023.

LYRICS/QUOTE:

[..] O my Lord! These two bright orbs are wedded in Thy love, conjoined in servitude to Thy Holy Threshold, united in ministering to Thy Cause. Make Thou this marriage to be as threading lights of Thine abounding grace, O my Lord […] O Thou the Beneficent, the Ever-Giving, that there may branch out from this great tree boughs that will grow green and flourishing through the gifts that rain down from Thy clouds of grace.

CHORDS:

Verse: G D C C

Oh my Lord these two bright orbs 

Are wedded in thy love 

Conjoined in servitude 

To the holy threshold 

United in administering 

To thy cause.

Chorus: G D C C

Make thou this marriage to be off threading lights 

Of thine abounding grace 

Oh my lord 

Verse 2: G D C C

Oh thou the beneficence 

The ever giving.

That there may branch out from this great tree 

Boughs that will grow green and 

Bridge: Em C G D 

Flourishing from the gifts that rain down from thy 

Clouds of grace. 

Chorus x 2 ( G D C C )
