As a proudly Australian initiative, we’re excited to showcase a collection of Australian stories, music, tributes and more.
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 Cairns, Australia with Skye-Marie who sings “We Are from God” based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Cairns, Australia in December 2023.
If thou be a man of communion and prayer, raise up on the wings of communion with holy souls,
that thou mayest behold the mysteries of the Friend and attain to the lights of the Beloved (2x)
“Verily we are from God and to Him shall we return.”
At this hour the dawn of knowledge hath arisen and the lamps of the wayfaring and the wandering is quenched.
that thou mayest behold the mysteries of the Friend and attain to the lights of the Beloved (2x)
“Verily we are from God and to Him shall we return.”
If thou be a man of communion and prayer, soar upon the wings of assistance from the holy ones, that thou mayest behold the mysteries of the Friend and attain the lights of the Beloved: “Verily, we are God’s, and to Him shall we return.”
And:
At this hour the morn of true knowledge hath dawned and the lamps of wayfaring and wandering have been quenched.
