I. From the Bahá'í Writings

BLESSED IS THE SPOT P.1

Blessed is the spot, and the house,

and the place, and the city,

and the heart, and the mountain,

and the refuge, and the cave,

and the valley, and the land,

and the sea, and the island,

and the meadow where mention

of God hath been made,

and His praise glorified.

Bahá'u'lláh

Love Me That I May Love Thee

O son of being,

Love me, that I may love Thee.

If thou lovest me not,

My love can in no wise reach Thee.

Know this, O servant.

Bahá'u'lláh

O God, Guide Me

O God, guide me, protect me,

illumine the lamp of my heart,

and make me brilliant star.

Thou art the Mighty and Powerful.

'Abdu'l-Bahá

Remover Of Difficulties

Is there any Remover of difficulties

save God?

Say: Praised be God!

He is God!

All are His servants

And all abide by His bidding!

Báb

O God Educate These Children P.2

O God! Educate these children.

These children are the plants

of thine orchard,

the flowers of Thy meadow,

the roses of Thy garden.

Let Thy rain fall upon them;

let the Sun of Reality

shine upon them with Thy love.

Let Thy breeze refresh them

in order that they may be trained,

grow and develop, and appear

in the utmost beauty.

Thou art the Giver.

Thou art the Compassionate.

-Báb

To Teach Is To Learn

To teach is to learn, to learn is to work,

To work is to serve, to serve is to love,

To love is to sacrifice, to sacrifice is to die,

To die is to live, to live is to strive,

To strive is to rise above all earthly

Limitations and enter the eternal realm.

Songs of joy and love we bring,

All together spread the word,

'round the world it shall be heard

IV. Attributes

Courtesy P.12

If the day should feel cloudy and gloomy

And there seems to be nothing to do,

Help a friend. Tell your mother you love her,

And your soul will feel shiny and new.

Chorus:

Courtesy seems to be

that I make sure that you're happy

Before I take care of me.

Are you glad? are you happy?

'Abdu'l-Bahá asked the friends every day.

He wanted all of our hearts to be happy,

Courtesy makes us feel that way.

Chorus

Say "please", "you're welcome"

and "thank you"

"May I do something for you today?"

Bring smiles to the people we talk to

That those words become easy to say.

Chorus

Saying prayers during Feast is so special,

We feel that the Master is so near,

Now he loves us to serve one another

With hearts full of kindness and cheer.

Happiness

Happiness runs in circular motion,

Floating like a little boat on the sea,

Everybody is a part of everything anyway,

You can be part if you set yourself free.

Equality P.13

Men and women it's plain to see

Are the soaring wings of humanity.

And when those wings begin to fly

To an equal degree,

Mankind comes to maturity.

So let us everyone teach our

Children of unity,

To love everyone with equality,

Chorus:

La la la, la la la, la la la la la la,

La la la, la la la, la la la la la la,

Black or white, red or tan,

Lord a person is recognized in every land.

It's time we recognized the perversity

Of hating people by heredity.

So let us everyone teach our

Children of Unity.

To love everyone with equality

Chorus

Let's open our eyes, and open our ears,

Or we're not gonna make it

Through another year.

People of all Faiths and nationalities,

From land to land, and sea to sea...

So let us everyone teach our

Children of Unity.

To love everyone with equality.

La la la, la la la, la la la la la la,

La la la, la la la, la la la la la la,

La la la la la la,

La la la la la la.

Obedience P.14

The clouds of tests are gathering near,

We can hear the thunder roaring,

The storm of chaos breaks on our land.

Let us turn our souls to God,

Be obedient and steadfast,

United, not divided we stand.

Chorus:

Be strong, be vigilant. You'll be rewarded.

Be strong, be vigilant. You'll be rewarded

Let's remember who we are,

The eyes of so many are upon us.

Let us grow, serve, love and obey,

For by living Bahá'í lives

We bring hope instead of happiness

To a world full of crumbling and decay.

Chorus

As the world around us falls,

Blind friends are stopped by walls,

Let us lead them to the light of truth.

To be strong, obey the laws.

Let us build a better world.

It really must be done by the youth.

Chorus

Truthfulness P.15

Telling the truth can be easy,

When grandma asks,

"Would you like yogurt to eat?"

It's easy to say, "Yes, yes, yes!"

And know it's the truth.

Chorus:

Truthfulness makes us strong.

Our hearts and our souls grow like giants.

Telling the truth can seem kind of scary,

Bahá'u'lláh tells us it' necessary

To always tell the truth.

Telling the truth can be hard.

When mother says,

"Did you lose your brand new shoe?"

It's hard to say "Yes, yes, yes".

When it's the truth.

Chorus

Telling the truth can be scary,

It's hard to tell people

You've done something wrong.

But parents are happy

When children tell the truth.

Patience P.16

A rock is patient.

It sits through lightning, snow and grime,

Rocks don't complain,

They take the time to change.

A rock is patient.

A plant is patient.

The seed grows when the time's right just right,

It know's the day's for the sun,

The night's for rest.

A plant is patient.

A cow is patient

She stands all day to chew and eat,

She gives us milk in cold and heat and rain.

A cow is patient.

Sometimes I'm patient,

When people ask I stop and wait,

Sometimes it's hard but it feels great to know,

I can be patient.

The Master was patient,

He did what God asked Him to,

I hope I grow up like 'Abdu'l-Bahá

For He was patient.

V. Love, Peace, Unity

Love Your Neighbors and Friends P.17

Love your neighbors and friends,

That's the word that God sends,

For a world of unity,

Love your neighbors and friends.

I'm Bahá'u'lláh's child

He has taught me to love

All the children around the world.

I'm Bahá'u'lláh's child.

There's a faith filled with love,

Joy and happiness too.

All Bahá'ís around the world,

Give this friendship to you.

Ya Baha'u'-l-Abha!

Ya Baha'u'-l-Abha!

Sing you children around the world.

Ya Baha'u'-l-Abha!

Get Together P.18

Chorus:

Come on people now,

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another right now.

Love is but a song we sing

Fear is the way we die

You can make the mountains ring

Or make the angels cry

Though the bird is on the wing

You may not know why.

Chorus:

Some people may go

Hate will surely pass

When the one who left us here

Returns for us at last

We are but in moments of life

Fading on the grass.

Chorus:

If you hear the song I sing

You will understand

You hold the key to love and fear

All in your trembling hand

Just one key unlocks them both

It's there at your command.

Chorus:

Fellowship P.19

Long time ago in Mazinderan

So the Dawnbreakers say,

Manifestation of God was born,

Bringing the promised day.

He sing a song to all mankind,

All the mountains they ring,

See all the people laughing with joy,

This is the song that they sing:

Chorus:

Fellowship, Fellowship,

Love, Love, Unity,

All the people are one

Man is a member of just one family

The age of peace has begun.

Mulla Husayn went down to Shiraz,

To find the Point of Bayan

Say, Mulla Husayn go tell all the people

The Prophet He speak again, and He say:

Chorus:

The Shah thought he would put out the light,

But our Lord from Iran say

"Shah what a foolish man you be --

"My Teaching has only begun!"

Chorus:

The Master say we should always be happy

Laughing and singing so

I want you should all join in the refrain

By now you should know how it goes.

And we sing:

Chorus: (TWICE)

Flowers of God's Garden P.20

We are Flowers of God's garden,

Bright as the morning sun, fresh as the dawn

Lovely in differences, varied in loveliness,

We are the flowers of humanity.

I am a black rose, dark, exotic,

Poignant in beauty, fragrant as the night.

God has entrusted me with Joy and mystery,

We are the Flowers of humanity.

I am a red rose, sweet and lovely,

Gay as a bird on a bright, summer day,

Singing a song of God, where'ere I wander

We are Flowers of humanity.

I am a white rose, gleaming, shining,

Sparkling like snow on the mountainside.

Restless as whitecaps flung

By the oceans breeze,

We are the Flowers of humanity.

Brown is my color, rich and glowing,

Full of the warmth of God's sweet love,

Heir to all nations, grandeur my destiny,

We are the Flowers of humanity.

We are the Flowers of God's garden,

Bright as the morning sun, fresh as the dawn

Lovely in differences, varied in loveliness,

We are the Flowers of humanity.

Good Neighbors P.21

Chorus:

Good neighbors come in all colors

Red, black, yellow and tan,

Our outsides may be different

But we belong to the family of man.

When my doorbell starts to ring,

I can't see the person's skin

Even if he had bright blue skin

I'd welcome him right in.

Chorus

When my neighbor starts to cry

It hurts him and that hurts I

Even if he had orange eyes

It hurts him when he cries.

Chorus

When my neighbor wants to share,

Joy and happiness everywhere

Even if had purple hair

I wouldn't even care.

Chorus

A Plea For One World P.21

A plea for one world

This is a plea for a world

Let all men live together,

Happy in all kinds of weather

Singing a song of peace. (2)

Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream P.23

Last night I had the strangest dream

I ever had before,

I dreamed the world had all agreed

To put an end to war.

I dreamed there was a mighty room

And the room was filled with men

And the paper they were signing said

They'd never fight again.

And the paper was all signed

And a million copies made

They all joined hands and circled round

And grateful prayers were said.

And the people on the streets below

Were dancing round and round

With swords and guns and uniforms

All scattered on the ground.

Last night I had the strangest dream

I ever had before,

I dreamed the world had all agreed

To put an end to war.

Let There Be Peace On Earth P.24

Let there be peace on earth

And let it begin with me;

Let there be peace on earth

The peace was meant to be.

With God as our Father,

Brothers all are we.

Let me walk with my brother

In perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me,

Let this be the moment now

With every step I take,

Let this be the moment now

With every step I take,

Let this be my solemn vow:

To take each moment

And live each moment

In peace eternally.

Let there be peace on earth

And let it begin with me.

World Citizens P.24

"Glory not in this that you love your country",

Its rays are dawning like the sun.

Soon the world will be one.

In unity that's how the world must be,

All its people live as one.

Like fragrant flowers in the sun.

Chorus

It's A Small World P.25

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears,

It's a world of hope and a world of fears.

There's so much time that we share,

That it's time we're aware

It's a small world after all.

It's a small world after all. (4)

And a smile means friendship to everyone,

It's a small world after all. (4)

Building Bridges P.26

Chorus:

We are building bridges out of the walls,

Building bridges out of the walls, (2)

They keep us apart.

The earth's one country,

We're world citizens.

And turn that wall into a bridge,

Take my brother by the hand and

Walk across that bridge

To the world God promised man.

Chorus

When the wall says stay away,

We are from a different race

We're going to tell them

This is just one race

That's the human race

And turn that wall into a bridge,

Take my brother by the hand and

Walk across that bridge

To the world God promised man.

Chorus

When the wall says stay away,

Our religion is not the same

We're going to tell them

That we just worship

God by different names

And turn that wall into a bridge,

Take my brother by the hand and

Walk across that bridge

To the world God promised man.

Chorus

What Mankind Has To Learn P.27

There's only one God

Throughout the universe,

But man multiplied Him and so,

There's a "your God" and "my God".

What mankind has to learn is that

There's only one God to know.

There's only one race

Of men upon earth

But man did divide it and so,

There's a black race and white race,

What mankind has to learn is that

There's only one race to know.

Earth was one country when

God gave it to man

But man did divide it, and so,

There's a China, a Turkey;

What mankind has to learn is that

There's only one country to know.

Religions are one as the

Prophets all have sung

But mankind denied them, and so

There's just one religion

What mankind has to learn is

Religions are one thing to know.

There's only one-ness throughout

The world of God

But man won't believe it, and so

He divides and multiplies it, oh

Won't he ever learn that

There's only ONE-NESS to know.

Religions are one thing to know.

The Rose P.28

Some say love, it is a river,

That drowns the tender reed,

Some say love, it is a razor

That leaves your heart to bleed.

Some say love, it is a hunger,

An endless, aching need,

I say love it is a flower,

And you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance,

It's the dream afraid of waking,

That never takes the chance.

It's the one who won't be taken

Who cannot seem to give,

And the soul afraid of dying,

That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely

And the road has been too long,

And you think that love is only

For the lucky and the strong.

Just remember in the winter,

Far beneath the bitter snow,

Lies the seed that with sun's love

In the spring becomes the rose.

O Bahá'u'lláh P.28

O Bahá'u'lláh, O Bahá'u'lláh,

O Bahá'u'lláh

Bring us together in unity,

Bring together as one family

We are leaves of one tree,

We are all flowers of one garden,

Bring us together in unity,

Bring us together as one family.

We are all stars in the sky,

We are one in God's eye,

Bahá'u'lláh cam for mankind,

To bring us together in unity,

Bring us together as one family.

We are all angels of fire and snow,

We see the light and away we go

Spreading the news of the one foretold,

Bring us together in unity,

Bring us together as one family.

Darkness has fallen on this land,

Evil tries to force our hand,

United in God together we stand,

Bring us together in unity,

Bring us together as one family.

God is One P.29

God is one, man is one

And all the religions are one.

Land and sea, hill and valley,

Under the beautiful sun.

God is one, man is one,

And all the religions agree.

When everyone learns

The three one-nesses

We'll have world unity.

Magic Penny P.30

Hold it tight and you won't have any.

Lend it, spend it, give it away,

A smile is something if you give it away,

It comes right back to you.

Chorus

Love is something if you give it away,

Give it away, give it away,

Love is something if you give it away,

It comes right back to you.

And one day soon broken

Hearts will be mended

Just as quick as the doctor

Heals a hurting wound.

Chorus (repeat)

Loving Hands P.32

Mothers hands so soft and smooth

Here to touch and here to sooth

Rock me, swing me, through the storm

In mothers's hands I'm safe and warm.

Fathers hands so big and strong

And his fingers oh so long

Lead me, guide me, catch me quick

A loving hand is yours I'll pick.

Loving hands mean loving hearts.

Strength and wisdom they impart.

Now I trust these hands to thee

Kind and good to me.

When I'm grown I'll have

Loving hands.

Mothers hands when you are young

They pat you dry when bath is done

They do so many wondrous things

So much joy her hands can bring.

In fathers hands I fly so high

I feel like I could touch the sky

And when he's firm his hands they speak

I realize I'm small and weak.

Loving hands mean loving hearts.

This I know right from the start.

When I'm grown they'll set me free

Reaching for the world

Reaching for the world

Loving hands. (repeat)

Blessed Beauty P.33

Chorus:

Walking with me, talking with me

Laughing with me, singing with me

Hoping for me, caring for me.

Feeling so bad and looking at my feet

I turned my face unto the sky

And I saw a white cloud passing by

And I know the Blessed Beauty

Was there and He was.

Chorus

As I walk down my crooked street

I tell everyone I get to meet,

"Hey brother, don't despair, The

Blessed Beauty is there, and He is..."

Now black man, white man,

Yellow man, read man

When your hopes are shattered and torn,

Push some more,

You can open any door,

Because He is...

Chorus

You people of Baha, please take heed

Don't be afraid to mount your steed

The Blessed Beauty knows you

And He knows you needs

Because He is...

Chorus

Blowing in the Wind P.34

How many roads must a man walk down

Before he is called a man?

How many seas must a white dove sail

Before he sleeps in the sand?

How many times must a cannon ball fly

Before they're forever banned?

Chorus:

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist before

it is washed to the sea?

How many years can some people exist before

they're allowed to be free?

How many times can a man turn his head

And pretend that he just doesn't see?

Chorus

How many times must a man look up before

How can see the sky?

How many ears must one man have before

He can hear people cry?

How many deaths will it take till he knows

That too many people have died?

The answer is blowing in the wind.

'neath a cloak of varied hue

Beats one heart of ruby red.

A Robin's Song P.40

Harken my brothers, and I will sing thee,

A lovely tune, a lovely melody;

Once I was walking, in the deep forest,

And a lovely robin sang this song for me:

Be not thou lonely, in midst of trouble

Nor be despairing, in midst of woe,

Rather be thankful, for all thy trials,

For without trails, we can never grow.

Be thou immovable as a mountain

A mighty peak firm against the blast,

For winds shall blow, and bitter

Storms surround thee,

And all is lost if thou be not steadfast.

Be thou a refuge for all who wonder,

Be thou a haven for every homeless soul

Be thou a lighthouse upon the ocean,

Guiding the vessels through the

wind and snow.

Walk thou uprightly, amongst mankind,

Be not dependent on any living soul,

For God will help thee, in time of danger,

And in times of sickness

He will make thee whole.

Show forth all meekness, unto all people,

Put not thyself ahead of anyone.

Be an example unto the righteous,

And in the darkness, be a shining sun.

Show forth uprightness, in all thy actions,

Be thou unselfish in all thy deeds,

For he shall prosper, who is trustworthy,

And if be honest, he shall have no need.

Thus sand the robin, in that deep forest,

His song of cheer, ringing through the glen.

For without trials, we can never grow."

God is Sufficient Unto Me P.41

God is sufficient unto me.

He verily is the all sufficing.

In Him let the trusting trust,

And with each day My thought

Penetrates into your heart.

Then are you among those

Who are always in God's thoughts.

Sunshine P.42

Open up waiting to the world

Waiting for you; what'll you do

Open up your mind let the wisdom in

Let the wisdom into your mind

Open up your mind let the wisdom in

Let the wisdom into your mind

Chorus

Open up your eyes let the colors in

Let the colors into your eyes

Open up your eyes let the colors in

Let the colors into your eyes

Chorus

Open up your soul let the spirit in

Let the spirit into your soul

Open up your soul let the spirit in

Let the spirit into your soul

Chorus

Open up your heart let the sunshine in

Let the sunshine into your heart

Open up your heart let the sunshine in

Let the sunshine into your heart

Asking you to join in our song.

"Let love and unity reign."

Will You Look Now My Friend P.48

Will you look now my friend,

At the beauty of the rose,

And tell me truthfully

Does it matter where it grows?

Are its colors and its fragrances

Any less true if its grown in a garden

Owned by me or you?

Will you look now my friend,

At the lamp that sheds light.

And tell me truthfully

It is glowing wrong or right?

When this dark world needs the light

So all men can see,

Does it matter if this lamp is

Held by you or me?

The sun of Truth has shone

In many mirrors,

The lamp may change,

The light remains the same

The prophets all spoke the truth eternal

Though each had his own mission,

His own name.

Will you look now my friend,

At the truth in every Faith,

And tell me truthfully

Does it merit life or death?

If the Word of God is evident

In every Holy Book?

Does it matter if the name is not

The one your fathers took?

Will you look now my friend,

To the nightingale's song,

And tell me truthfully

Is it glory right or wrong?

When the Lord reveals His Will for men

Where e'er it may be found

Does it matter from whose lips

The melodies of God may sound?

When he said mommy why do the different

Races fight?

If we're the same in the good Lord's sight?

That the thing we missed on the road we trod

Was to walk as the daughters and the sons

And the days are glad and long,

And may He fill your world with songs.

God be with you in the autumn,

When the birds and flowers have fled,

In the paths along the woodlands,

Leaves are falling gold and red,

When the summer's now behind you

In the evening of the year,

God b with you in the autumn

And may He fill your world with cheer.

God be with you in the winter,

When the snow lies deep and white,

With the long winter and its quest,

God be with you in the winter

Just to guide you in your rest.

The Greatest Name P.58

Come on all you glory boys

And hoist your banners high;

Pillars of the light are shining

On the Persian sky.

The people are awaiting

To hear the Authors' fame

Help us all proclaim the Greatest Name.

CHORUS:

Bahá'u'lláh! Bahá'u'lláh!

Help us all proclaim the Greatest Name.

Bahá'u'lláh! Bahá'u'lláh!

Help us all proclaim the Greatest Name.

Come on all you ladies

And let love adorn your face;

For now it has been written

That you take your rightful place.

A bird with only one wing

Surely will be lame

Help us all proclaim the Greatest Name

CHORUS

Come on all you children

Of the Kingdom, raise your voice

For God in all His mercy

Has given men a choice

And the Hearts of desert people

Surely will see rain

Help us all proclaim the Greatest Name


CHORUS

Come on all you people

Who are endowed with gentle souls;

You that inherit the earth

The way the story goes;

And I will be a traveler

Who gently fans the flame ... and

I'll help you all proclaim the Greatest Name.

CHORUS

Each One Teach One P.60

If only one with soul on fire

Arose to serve his hearts' desire

With knowledge, wisdom, love and care

Seeks someone with whom to share

One, two, four and eight

We wouldn't have so long to wait

We could set the world ablaze

By following this simple phrase,

Each one teach one

Scatter through the land

Together, individually

Reach the heart of man.

Each one teach one

Watch our number grow

If each one would teach we'd have

One world for Bahá'u'lláh.

If everyone would do his part

Plant the seeds within one heart

Nurture it with loving care

Till the hidden fruit does bear

One, two, four and eight

'til the Cause becomes so great

That everyone will know its fame

And all the world will call His Name.

Bringing our hearts full of joy to,

To the world for a purpose new.

Here's A Song I Like To Sing P.64

Here's a song I like to sing

God created everything

I do not know just what He is

But everything that is, is His

Amazing Grace P.65

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost, but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved.

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares

I have already come;

'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far

And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me

His word my hope secures;

He will my shield and portion be,

As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

and mortal life shall cease,

I shall possess within the veil,

A life of joy and peace.

When we've been there ten thousand years

Bright shining as the sun,

We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than when we've first begun.
