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.

                  -'Abdu'l-Bahá

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.

Once Was A Man?                                                         
P.8

       Once was a man who told a story,

       Once was a man who told a story,

       Once was a man who told a story,

       To all mankind.

       He told a story of love,

       Told a story of life,

       Told a story to all who lived,

       Told it to my heart.

       He lives in the minds of men,

       Lives in the hearts of all,

       Lives to teach the word of love,

       He's Bahá'u'lláh.

The Prince of Peace

       They called Him the Prince of Peace,

       They called Him the Prince of Peace,

       From Constantinople to Adrianople,

       To Akka the prison by the sea.

       There lived a man across the ocean,

       There lived a man across the sea,

       He spoke of love, He spoke of justice,

       He spoke to man of unity.

       His light is shining forth in all His Glory,

       His light is shining for all to see.

       It's covered the earth,

       Given it new birth,

       His light is shining forth for you and me.

       His teachings spread from kings to laymen,

       His teachings spread to all mankind.

       His teachings took on all religions,

       And left no helpless soul behind.

P.11

       Do you know what day we remember

       On the twelfth day of November?

       We give thanks to the land of Ta.

       For giving us Bahá'u'lláh.

       Ring the bells and sound the horns!

       This is the day when He was born.

Naw-Ruz

       Naw-Ruz is the time of year

       When our hearts are filled with cheer.

       Children from both far and near,

       So we all unite and sing,

       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.

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!

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

                Mulla Husayn went down to Shiraz,

                "Shah what a foolish man you be --

                "My Teaching has only begun!"

       Chorus:

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.

                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

                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.

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

         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! World Citizens!

               Unity, the world cries for unity.

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)

         There is just one world and one golden sun,

         And a smile means friendship to everyone,

         Though the mountains are wide

         It's a small world after all.

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

         They keep us apart.

               When the wall says stay away

               We are from a different land

               We're going to tell them

               The earth's one country,

               We're world citizens.

               And turn that wall into a bridge,

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

         O Bahá'u'lláh, O Bahá'u'lláh,

         O Bahá'u'lláh

         Bring us together in unity,

         Bring together as one family

         We are all waves of one sea

       We are leaves of one tree,

         We are all flowers of one garden,

         The three one-nesses

         We'll have world unity.

               Hearts will be mended

               Heals a hurting wound.

         And his fingers oh so long

         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)

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."

         All of us are one in spirit,

         And that's what makes us strong.

         I'll sing you a rock, can it grow, can it walk

         Can it do anything but be?

         No it can't grow or walk `cause it's

         Only a rock in the sand by the side of the sea.

           It's in the Mineral Kingdom, the Mineral

           Kingdom, the Mineral Kingdom of God. (2x)

         I'll sing you a tree can it walk, can it see,

         Can it grow and bear fruit and be green?

         Yes, it surely can grow,

         No it can't move or know

         Though it be the best tree you've ever seen

           It's in the Vegetable Kingdom, the Vegetable

           Kingdom, the Vegetable Kingdom of God. (2x)

         I'll sing you a frog, and a cat, and a dog,

         And I'll sing you an elephant, too.

         They can grow, the can be, they can walk

         They can see,

         But they are not quite as special as you.

           They're in the Animal Kingdom, the Animal

           Kingdom, the Animal Kingdom of God. (2x)

         I'll sing you a boy with his heart full of joy

         And I'll sing you a happy girl too,

         They can run, they can grow, they can think

         They can know

         They can learn about God just like you.

           They're in the Human Kingdom of God, the Human

         I'll sing you song that will help you along,

         So you'll always remember God's love 

         He wants us to know Him and love Him and so

         He sends teachers of truth from above.

The Three Wives of Abraham                                              
P.47

         From the three wives of Abraham,

         The prophets came,

         To teach us the Most Glorious Name.

         Zoroaster and Krishna,

         They brought the word,

         And again the voice of God was heard.

Chorus:

Buddha's light rekindled the flame

Moses and the burning bush, He did the same,

Then came Jesus with the dove,

To teach us the word and the word was love.

         With Mohammad's prophetic cycle

         It was sealed,

         A new world order had been revealed.

         Through the Bab, the Gate,

         Bahá'u'lláh, the Pen

         It shall be on earth as it is in Heaven.

Chorus:

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?

What Color Is God's Skin                                                  
P.49

         Good night I said to my little son

         So tired out when the day was done,

         Then he said to me as I tucked him in

         Tell me mommy what color is God's skin?

Chorus:

What color is God's skin?

What color is God's skin?

I said its black, brown, yellow

It is red it is white

Every man's the same in the good Lord's sight.

Chorus

         He looked at me with his shining eyes,

         I knew I could tell no lies

       When he said mommy why do the different

         Races fight?

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

Chorus

         Son that's part of our sufferin' past

         But the whole human family is learning at last,

         That the thing we missed on the road we trod

         Was to walk as the daughters and the sons

         Of God

         When the violets unfold,

         And the buttercups and cowslips

         Fill the field with yellow gold.

         In the time of apple blossoms,

         When the happy bluebirds sing,

         Filling all the world with gladness

         God be with you in the spring.

         God be with you in the summer,

         When the sweet June roses grow,

         When the fields are bright with daisies,

         And the days are glad and long,

         God be with you in the summer

         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,

         And the silent fields are sleeping,

         And the stars gleam cold and bright.

         When the land and heart are tired,

         With the long winter and its quest,

         God be with you in the winter

         Just to guide you in your rest.

       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.

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.

Consultation means finding out

What everybody is thinking about

You listen to them

And they listen to you

Then you all do what

Most of you want to do.

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.
