WINGS FOR THE SPIRIT
Compilation Song Book
"We, verily, have made music as a ladder for your souls, a means whereby they may
be lifted up unto the realm on high"
Bah'u'llh, The Kitab-i-Aqdas
"The art of music is divine and effective. It is the food of the soul and spirit. Through
the power and charm of music the spirit of man is uplifted. It has wonderful sway and
effect in the hearts of children, for their hearts are pure and melodies have great
influence in them. The latent talents with which the hearts of these children are
endowed will find expression through the medium of music. Therefore you must exert
yourselves to make them proficient; teach them to sing with excellence and effect. It is
incumbent upon each child to know something of music, for without knowledge of this
art, the melodies of instrument and voice cannot be rightly enjoyed. Likewise it is
necessary that the schools teach it in order that the souls and hearts of the pupils may
become vivified and exhilarated and their lives be brightened with enjoyment."
'Abdu'l-Bah, Promulgation of Universal Peace
Preface
This compilation of lyrics was put together to assist in reaching the hearts of the children and
youth. Taken from song sheets we have collected in the communities in which we have lived,
and from the lyrics of albums, choral scores and sheet music we have owned over the years, the
compilation includes songs by Bah's, as well as a small number of traditional and popular
songs on themes dear to the hearts of Bah's.
The songs are listed alphabetically (word-by-word) by title, but we have found that songs have
become known by different titles in different communities. If you are viewing this with a
computer, don't forget you can use your search function for specific words!
The composers, lyricists and sources are indicated if we could identify them.
We would be happy to receive any additions and corrections!

'ABDU'L-BAH
(Words: Walter Heath, Valarie & Marcus
Richmond; Music: Walter Heath, Lote Tree)
CHORUS:
From the time He was a little boy

There was always an inner joy
A joy that was born from the love of God
The first to recognize Bah'u'llh
'Abdu'l-Bah, 'Abdu'l-Bah
Taunted and teased
And sometimes chased all thru the streets
They said He'd lost His faith in the one true
God
Because His Father believed in the Bb
Pelted with stones,
His family chased out of their homes
His Father locked in chains,
Yet He withstood all the pain
Banished in disgrace,
His family sent from place to place
For 77 long years He gave His life and His
love
For all mankind.
CHORUS
'ABDU'L-BAH
(Alan McKay, Sheet music in The Bah'
Songbook, Vol. 1)
The photograph I see comes alive so easily
It tells me of a life that was so pure
He would never turn away from anyone
And the love in His eyes is so real
He suffered all His life to show us how to be
free
He would always love His enemies
And through the worst of trials He could

always smile
And lift the heart of every friend up so high
CHORUS:
'Abdu'l-Bah was His name
And 'Abdu'l-Bah was His life
'Abdu'l-Bah was His fame
The Master of sacrifice
He could take the hand of a sad and broken
man
And wash away his fears for a while
He could understand the secrets we defend
And make us feel that living was worthwhile
'ABDU'L-BAH
(John W. Behrens)
When I was a child my parents spoke of a
Man,
They called Him 'the Servant of God'
For He loved ev'ry one, as He taught all
mankind,
'Abdu'l-Bah was His name.
'Are you happy?', He would always ask the
friends.
His eyes would shine and His smile would
cheer
As He taught the word of God:
'Are you happy?', He would always ask the
friends.
His eyes would shine and His smile would
cheer
As He taught the word of God:
There's a garden in the Holy Land
Where He'd pray for all mankind.
Rich and poor were all alike
In His presence they'd rejoice.
People came from near and from afar
Just to hear 'Abdu'l-Bah.
When He'd meet the friends of God
All would burst into a song.

Allh'u'Abh, Allh'u'Abh
Means God is all glorious.
Allh'u'Abh, Allh'u'Abh
Means God is all glorious.
He showed us all how to live the life,
'Abdu'l-Bah, the Servant of God.
ABDUL-BAHA
(Grant Hindin Miller, Afar)
He was diamonds, He was oceans, He was
eyes of Persian blue
He was First Light, He was many, He was
One
Open-hearted in the autumn, open-hearted in
the spring
Summer roses in His tunic each season
He was harbour, He was haven, He was
heaven, He was home
He was warm smile, He was soft voice, He
was tears
Strong and tender, like a river, and His heart
beat like a birds
How I long to hear those wings beat close
again
He was new snow, on old branches, He was
crystal in the stream
He was silver-spinning rainfall, He was fire
He was water from the deep well, He was
rainbow on the marsh
He was safe path to the hillside, He was stars
He was shelter from the cold wind, He was
warmth against the ice
He was lips that told a language of their own
His arms held out like branches, and His
eyes were like a doves
How I long to feel those wings beat close
again
He was diamonds, He was oceans, He was

colours in the sky
He was everything and more than I can tell
As I stumble through this world, I wonder to
myself
Where is there One who walked this world
so well
THE ABH KINGDOM

(Lana Bogan & Daniel D. Deardorff,
Happy Ayym-i-H)
Mama, when I die, where do I go?
Sometimes I'm afraid 'cause I don't know.
Is there a bright blue heaven in the sky?
And Mama, will I go there when I die?
On the wings of angels you may ride
And they will fly you to the Concourse On
High.
There the Inmates of the All-Highest
Paradise will sing
As They hold you in Their arms
In the Kingdom of Abh
All the darkness of this world will be gone
In the stronghold of His Love you'll belong
In the hands of Bah'u'llh and All the
Chosen Ones
They will call you to Their side
Its reflection is here, my child, my babe
Don't be afraid
Dream your dreams
Live your life
Be good, be strong, be brave
And then one day
Like birds set free,
We'll sail away to eternity

Together
Forever
ABIDE WITH ME!

(Words: Henry F. Lyte, Music: William H.
Monk)
Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, abide with me!
ADVANCE GUARDS
(Words: Jim Seals, Music: Jim Seals & Dash
Crofts, Lift Up Your Voices and Sing, Vol. 3)
I used to look out from my window
And see the tall grass in the wind
Standing there just like advance guards
Waiting for the battle to begin
My mother used to be much younger
She'd sing me soft sweet lullabies
I saw my fortress in the mountain
Each time I looked into her eyes
But now she's gone
CHORUS:
Take me there, take me there
I don't care where we go
Take me, I just want to know what I used to
know
Take me there, take me there
I don't care where we go
Take me there, take me, I just want to go
My father's hair has turned to gray now
I never stopped to ask him why
And all the things that he once treasured
I see them slowly drifting by
And now I look out from my mountain

And see the soldiers in the field
It won't be long now 'til they have me
This time advance guards are for real
CHORUS
ALL MY TRIALS
(Traditional)
Hush, little baby, don't you cry,
You know your Mama was born to die.
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.
CHORUS:
Too late, my brothers,
Too late but never mind.
The river of Jordan is muddy and cold.
Well, it chills the body, but not the soul.
I've got a little book with pages three,
And every page spells liberty,
CHORUS
If living were a thing that money could buy,
You know the rich would live and the poor
would die.
There grows a tree in Paradise,
And the Pilgrims call it the Tree of Life.
CHORUS
ALL PRAISE BE TO THEE

Bah'u'llh, Based on Excerpts from Bah'
Prayers (Music: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,
Songs of the Ancient Beauty)
All praise be to Thee, source of all glory!
Source of glory and majesty!
Source of glory and all majesty!
Of glory and majesty!
From all eternity Thou didst rule creation,
And Thou wilt continue for evermore.
There is none other God but Thee,
None other God but Thee, All praise to Thee
The source of all glory and majesty!
ALL THE FLOWERS ARE POPPING

OUT
(Marion Wilcox and Hope Kurzius)
All the flowers are popping out,
popping out, popping out!
All the flowers are popping out!
Don't you feel so glad!
All the leaves are green today,
green today, green today.
All the leaves are green today.
Come and sing with me!
Won't you come and play with me, . . .
In the sunny hours!
Hear the robin sing his song, . . .
Early in the morn!
Won't you come and pray with me, . . .
Pray with me today!
Thank you, God, for all good things, . . .
On this happy day!
ALL THE LIGHTS

(Based on the words of Bah'u'llh, Music
by Grant Hindin Miller, Afar)
Turn them into spoons and into guitar

strings, guitar strings
CHORUS
He Who was the Essence of being, and the

Lord of the seen and unseen
They suspended and committed what made
the Tablet to weep, and the Pen to groan,
And the cries of the sincere to break forth,
and the tears of the favoured ones to flow
In the castle of Mahku, looming as the crow
flies,
Shade and shadow-land, make your darkest
stand
Still the morning star will rise
In the garden of the King, even as the
morning-tide
Watch the Nightingale, cast aside His veil,
showering gold on everything
CHORUS:
All the lights are coming on, all the lights are
coming on
Moon and stars one by one, welcoming the
dawn
All the lights are coming on
All the lights are coming on, all the lights are
coming on
Street-lamps one by one, from the port up to
the Shrine
All the lights are coming on
He Who was the Essence of being, and the
Lord of the seen and unseen
They suspended and committed what made
the Tablet to weep and the Pen to groan"
They can beat their brows, they can beat
their drums, they can beat us up
But they wont beat love
And well take the bombs, take the guns
Heap them up underneath the sun, and well
melt them down, have a scene,
ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD

(Robert Bennet, sheet music in The Bah'
Songbook, Vol. 1)
Hey! What's new? What's going on today?
Many people busy on their way
There's people from Ghana and people from
Peru
People from India and people from China too
All the people of the world
Are getting to know each other
All the people of the world
Are learning a new song
They're learning to get along, along, along
Learning to get along
ALL THE WORLD (IS A RAINBOW)

(Laszlo Slomovits)
All the world is a rainbow
What color are you?
Are you red, black, or white,
Are you yellow or brown,
Are you some other shade or hue?
All the world is a rainbow
And the sky needs all of me and all of you.
All of me, all of you
All our brothers and sisters too.
We can live, we can give
All of me and you.
All the world is a melody.
What note are you?
Are you high, are you low?
Are you fast, are you slow?
Are you sour or in sweet harmony?

All the world is a melody
And the song needs all of me and all of you.
All the world is a tapestry, Im woven in
with you
All the world is a restless sea, Im just a
wave like you.
All the world is just a stage
What role have you?
Are you good, are you bad?
Are you happy or sad?
Are you weak, strong, false or true?
All the world is just a stage
And the play needs all of me and all of you.
ALL THESE THINGS BELONG TO ME

(Margaret Baker)
The sun that shines across the sea,
The wind that whispers in the trees,
The lark that carols in the sky,
The fleecy clouds a-sailing by;
Oh, I'm as rich as rich can be
For all these things belong to me.
ALL THINGS ARE CHANGED

(Wilford Johnson, Let's Try Peace For
Awhile)
All things are changed at the sound of His
voice
Burdened with potential, yielded without
choice
Heavens cleft asunder, broken down and
rearranged
With a word from God all things are changed
Some think the answers are found in
reasoning
Their vain imagination seeks to circumscribe

the King
Then revealed in noonday splendor, it's only
a mirageIdols without substance; all things are
serving God
CHORUS
All things are changed according to God's
will
A new heaven and new earth, nothing's
standing still
As the old world crumbles a new one's being
built
All things are changed according to God's
will
The only way to know the truth is through
the Prophet's pen
The Holy Words, the Gospel, Pentateuch &
the Bayn
About one thousand apart, God's Messengers
arrive
Then a soul must choose how he will survive
CHORUS
ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT

(Old Welsh Folk Song)
Sleep, my love, and peace attend thee
All through the night;
Guardian angels, God will lend thee,
All through the night.
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping,
Love alone His watch is keeping,
All through the night.

Chorus:

Of love are true.

AMAZING GRACE
(Words: John Newton, Music: Early
American melody)
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!
Thru many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
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'd first begun.
ANCIENT OF DAYS

Bow before the Ancient of Days

Ev'ry knee shall bow at Your throne
In wor---ship
You will be exalted Oh God
And Your kingdom shall not pass away
O Ancient of Days
Bridge:
Your kingdom shall reign over all the earth
Sing unto the Ancient of Days
For none can compare to Your matchless
worth
Sing unto the Ancient of Days
ANCIENT OF THE OLD

Crofts, Seals & Crofts Year of Sunday)
On a crisp as bacon morning
With the sunshine on my head
From the twilight of the dawning
Raised myself from my bed
Fixed mine eyes upon a Favour
Like no mortal I behold
Then I chose to taste the flavor of
The Ancient of the Old
On a chill as winter evening
In a doubtful circumstance
He stopped the evil breathing
Of a one time's serpent's chants
Old black sea with silver lining,
How I long with all my soul
To quaff the mystic fragrance
Of the Ancient of the Old
From a red as amber burning
With the chalice in my hand
I know there is no turning
I must now obey command
At last, Decree has destined now the Mystery
untold
Will shine in all its glory
From the Ancient of the Old
ANGELS OF FIRE AND SNOW

Angels, oh angels, angels of fire and snow.
Were it not for your tears, you would burn in
the fire of your love,
Were it not for the fire, you would drown in
your tears
Oh angels, oh angels, moth-like lovers of His
light.
Behold the moth as it circles the candle,

It clings to the flame and dies.
Behold the candle as it gives light,
It weeps away its life drop by drop.
And honey bees in the wind.

CHORUS
Ya-tada-tada-tada-tada-tada . . .
You fly, you weep, you die in your love.

You fly, you weep, you die in your love.
Were it not for your tears, you would burn in
the fire of your love,
Were it not for the fire, you would drown in
your tears
Angels, oh angels, you are the people of
Baha.

The kitty purrs in our lap, our lap
And the birds sing sweetly

ARISE!
(by Phoenix)
We are travelling across this land
Our map is the Divine Plan
The hours left are not long
We cant go wrong when all the songs
become one song.
Work, this is the great work.
Heart and soul, all parts become one whole.
Chorus:
Quicken to life this dead world,
Illumine this dark universe
The joy of 'Abdu'l-Bah depends on this.
The mercy of God is falling like rain
The desert of the heart blooms again

Arise in the path of the love of God
Be unrestrained and aid thou His Cause
Work, this is the Great Work
Heart and soul, all parts become one whole
Chorus
Ere long will God raise up the treasures of

the earth.
Men who will aid Thee through Thyself and
through Thy Name.
Grieve not for what has befallen Thee and be
Thou not afraid, for Thou art in safety.
Work, this is the Great Work.

Arise, this is the Great Work.
ARRESTED IN TEHRAN
Arrested in Tehran, brought on foot and
bound in chains
For what He believed, an innocent Man is
brought to a place of thieves.
Cast into a dungeon, the notorious SiyhChl, Immortal Beauty laid veiled behind
these walls.
Flanked by hardened criminals, around His
neck was clamped a chain,
So heavy a weight, scars would always
remain.
One night in a dream, on every side these
words were heard:
Victorious we shall render Thee by Thy self
and by Thy pen,
Grieve not for what hath befallen Thee
And be Thou not afraid, For Thou art in
safety.
Though only a child, 'Abdu'l-Bah longed to
behold his Father in the Black Pit, damp
and cold.
When on a servants shoulders he was carried
deep inside the gloom,
The voice of Bah was heard, Do not bring
My Son into this room.
The young Master then saw Him, heavily
burdened in chains,
Perhaps it was then that He knew the weight
He was to bear would be the same.
AS YOUR FAITH IS
As your faith is,
So shall your powers and blessings be
This is the balance, this is the balance,
This is the balance.
AWAKE YE NATIONS ALL

Awake ye nations all
Let cruel wars now cease
This is the day for unity
The day for love and peace
Spend no more time in strife
But hear the clarion call
Which cometh for the from God above
The Father of us all
Which cometh for the from God above
The Father of us all

(Joyce Deardorff, Happy Ayym-i-H, )
Mull Husayn, don't feel so alone
The Promised Q'im is waiting,
So search through the Land aflame with your
Cause
Then walk through the Gates of Shrz.
Who is this Youth so fair
Standing alone in the market square?
The Bb, The Bb, Chosen of God
The Bb, young Bb in Persia
Eighteen to find Him, the proofs were all
shown.
On foot and in visions they came.
He sent them to teach throughout the land
To light the unquenchable flame.
And twenty-thousand friends gave their lives
for Him
To let the light of Bah shine in:

THE BB
(Jim Seals, Lote Tree)
CHORUS
He held our hands in His
As He spoke of things to come.
He said, 'You must let yourselves be loved
By all and love everyone.'
CHORUS
In Shrz hear the trumpets sound

With the snows of winter still on the ground
There is a young Man with a turban green
He is God's springtime, The Promised Q'im
He must tell the people this is the Promised
Day
God has sent His Messenger and He is the
Gate.
He's come to teach the clergy
For they have lost their way
They have no eyes, they have no ears,
They will not hear Him say
He'll give His life in Tabrz for the One to
follow Him.
Oh, wayward generation, had ye but
believed.
He is the Bb.
THE BB
(Claire Segue, Flight)
I saw it in His eyes. I saw it in His smile.
There was a sun within His eyes
And a melody within His soul.
CHORUS:
The Bb, Precious Youth, Primal Point.
The Bb, Precious Youth, The Bb.
He led us to the mountain
Where the grazing sheep stay.
He said, 'Soon all nations will gather here
As they pass through the Gate of . . .'
In two years He would be gone.

In two years He would be dead.
Prepare yourselves for the Promised One,
Who many will fear and dread.
CHORUS
They said He died with a friend there
As the many bullets found their mark.
He had come this day to enlighten them,
But they drew themselves into the dark.

BAD'
(Steve Miller, Sheet music in The Bah'
Songbook, Vol. 1)
Cast him in fetters and chains

Saying for this thing
The young lapwing must surely die
It was a wild youth

His heart of cold, granite stone
Yet when the story was told
A heart was changed into gold
He heard a new truth
His lonely eyes, as they shone
Were filled with tears
As he grew near Bah'u'llh
'O People, do not your eyes not see?

Your threats can never frighten me
I long to die and long to be
In the realm on high!
Oh, Shah, you howl these words in vain
At one who rides the steed of pain
A martyr to the Greatest Name:
Y Bah'u'l-Abh'
'O my Beloved, now I see

That my desire must ever be
To spend my days in praise of Thee
Say Allh'u'Abh!
O Nightingale, this bird must rise
Must wing its flight beyond the skies
To Sheba, where my Loved One lies
Y Bah'u'l-Abh'
'O Bah'u'llh! I see a new dawn breaking:

O Bah'u'llh! My heart, my limbs are
shaking
O Bah'u'llh! Why is the world forsaking
Thee?
'Sing to us, O Nightingale
Of Paradise, your melody
That we may sing our praise of Thee
And all mankind may heed the cry
Sing to us, Bah'u'llh
The song that sets our hearts aflame
And brings to mind the Greatest Name
Y Bah'u'l-Abh'
It was a brave youth

Who made the journey alone
'Til by the shores of the sea
His yearning heart was set free
And like the lapwing
That flew to Solomon's throne
He made his fast
And reached, at last, his only Lord
'O Nightingale, I hear Thy call
A captive, I must stand enthralled
And watch the stars of Heaven fall
By a single word!
O my Beloved, make me strong
To sing the world a wondrous song
Y Bah'u'l-Abh'
It was a soft voice
That called the Shah by his name
'A gift from Sheba I bring
A weighty message, O king!'
The soldiers seized him
It was a wise man

That spoke in horror and fear
They said to 'brand the young one
Burn him and beat him that justice is done
How can I brand him?
A child of seventeen years?
And if I must
This is not justice that I see'
'O my Beloved, hear his cries
And rend the veil that blinds his eyes
Thy justice now I realize
Was not planned for me!
O Lord of Bounty, show him how
The gift that's branded on my brow
Is sweeter than Thy justice now
Y Bah'u'l-Abh'
Like the rain upon the ground.

However cruel his death may be
The world remembers young Badi
The 'Pride of Martyrs' now we see
Say Allh'u'Abh!
Aqa Buzurg, we call your name
Your sacrifice was not in vain
How many voices now proclaim:
Y Bah'u'l-Abh!
BAH' FAREWELL
All'u'Abh, my brothers
All'u'Abh, my sisters
This Faith we share together
Sustains u s as we part
No tears we shed of sadness
For we are bound together
In unity forever
A joy that ne'er departs
May God guide and protect you
As you begin your venture
To carry forth His message
Uniting all mankind

Is there something you can give away?

BAH'U'LLH HAS COME

(Words by Susan Engel, Music by Marie
Gervais, Feast at My House)
I know something, you do too,
A secret we've been keeping
But now the time is really here
To wake the world from sleeping
Let's sing and chant and shout the news!
Let's warble, cheer and hum,
Tell the neighbors,
Tell our friends
Bah'u'llh has come.
We've kept the news inside our hearts,
We've thought and prayed and read.
We've learned about 'Abdu'l- Bah
And all the things He said..
We've studied maps and graphs and charts
Until our brains are numb.
Tell the teachers,
Tell the mayor,
Bah'u'llh has come.
I know that peace will come someday,
I'm sure it will come true,
Now you can help it, come with me,
Here's what we will do.
Let's spread the news, let's catch the ears
With bugle, fife and drum, then
Tell the nations,
Tell the world,
Bah'u'llh has come!
Bah'u'llh has come. Bah'u'llh has come.
Tell the teachers, tell the mayor
Bah'u'llh has come.
BAH'U'LLH IS THE GLORY OF

GOD
Bah'u'llh is the Glory of God.
From Adam to Christ He taught
His Will and His Might

From old 'Akk He proclaimed
The Word of God in His Name.
If you look you will see
Then you'll end your misery.
If you know the Word of God
You will see it in your heart
Bah'u'llh is the Promised One of God
BAH'U'LLH SAYS
(Based on the words of Bah'u'llh, The
Reggae Project)
Bah'u'llh says
'Close your eyes to racial differences'
Bah'u'llh says
'Welcome all with the light of oneness'
'The well-being of mankind,
its peace and security
are unattainable unless and until
its unity is firmly established'
'Ye are the leaves of one branch
and the fruits of one tree'
Chained to a wall of stone
In a dungeon beneath the ground
Living as an exile alone
In a filthy prison town
The Manifestation foretold
As the 'Glory of the Father'
Was suffering affliction
So we could learn to love each other
Living in a world of souls
Divided amongst themselves
Race riots and gang war and so

It's a sad sad story to tell
And just when it seems that
The side of darkness now has won
The truth lights up the sky
Like the dawn of the morning sun
BAH'U'LLH, THE GLORY OF GOD

(Pat Morrissey, Sheet music in The Bah'
Songbook, Vol. 1)
Bah'u'llh the Glory of God
Came to bring a new day
Of harmony and unity
He has told us of the New Way
That all men should live as one
Now what could be wrong with that?
But they tortured and imprisoned Him
In a dungeon cold and black
And there He remained for four long months
Amongst thieves and highway men
And each and every other day
The jailers murdered His friends
One night he dreamt a glorious dream
In that dark and lonely den
'We will render Thee victorious
By Thyself and by Thy pen'
And when at last they set Him free
He wandered many lands
Exiled for His purity
How He suffered at their hands
Imprisoned for over thirty years
Poisoned by the mad
But through all this, He walked in bliss
Nothing could make Him sad
BAH'U'LLH'S BIRTHDAY
(M. McClellan)
Do you know what we remember,
On the twelfth day of November?

We give thanks to the Land of T,
For giving us Bah'u'llh.
Ring the bells and sound the horn!
This is the day when He was born!
BAH'U'LLH'S GETTING US READY

FOR THAT GREAT DAY

BAHYYIH KHNUM
(Alonzo Coleman)
The story we are about to tell
Is full of joy and plight.
From the martyrdom of the Bbs
To the dawning of Bah'u'llh's Light.
A story of a special woman,
Sister of 'Abdu'l-Bah.
She helped the Guardian when he was
young,
And kept the Light of Bah'u'llh strong.
The daughter of Bah'u'llh,
Whose praise she had won.
Bahyyih Khnum, Greatest Holy Leaf.
Imprisoned with her Father in 'Akk quite
young.
Affairs of the Master entrusted to run.
Bahyyih Khnum, born in 1847, died in
1932.
The Greatest Holy Leaf, she knew
That the Light of Bah would shine through.

BARNYARD BOOGIE
(Red and Kathy Grammer, Teaching Peace)
I know a rooster down on the farm
Every day at dawn he sounds the alarm
He doesn't do it like the other roosters do.
He sings, 'Cock-a-doodle-oodie-oodieoodie-oodie-oo'
CHORUS:
He's a singin', swingin' rooster
He loves to improvise
He's the kind of clucker who was born to
harmonize
And everyday at dawn as the sun begins to
rise
You can hear him do the barnyard boogie
Now all over the country everybody's heard
About the barnyard boogie and the one they
call the 'bird'
Bantams and leghorns, they can't resist the
beat
Bobbin' up and down while they're dancin'
with their feet
CHORUS
So it you're up at dawn and you want a little
treat
Come over to the farm where the air is fresh
and sweet
Cars'll be lined up and down the lane
But once you've heard him crow
You'll understand just why they're sayin'
CHORUS
BE A LIGHT/ LIGHT IN THE

DARKNESS
(Mark Spiro and Eddie Arkin, Leslie and
Kelly: We Are One; Also recorded by
Parrish & Toppano, The Royal Falcon)
Once upon a faceless moon
I dreamed my world was one small room
A thousand books of stories told
All were black, but one was gold
I took the book from off the shelf
And held it tight to my frozen self
The war within my spirit raged
To drops of salt on every page, and
My body was breakin'
For the words, they were saying:
'Be a light in the darkness,
Be a heart to the heartless,
When the world's lost its meaning
Be the one who can still go on believing'
When once upon a windless night
Another dream in black and white
I see a Man of flesh and bone
Who says 'This world is not our home,' and
My body was breakin';
For the words He was saying:
'Be a light in the darkness
Be a heart to the heartless
Be the one who can still go on believing'
Be a heart to the heartless
Be the one who can still go on believing
Though I was only dreaming,
These words never end,
Relentlessly burning me over and over again
Be a light in the darkness.
Be a heart to the heartless.
Be the one who can still go on,
Be a light in the darkness,

Be a heart to the heartless;
When the world's lost its meaning,
Be the one who can still go on,
Be a light in the . . .
FADE
BE A SERVANT OF BAH
(Marion Wilcox)
Be a servant of Bah
As your travel near and far,
Fix your gaze on His pure light
As you journey thru the night.
Tho' the night be dark and drear,
Soon the bright dawn will appear,
Bringing hope and courage near,
On this bright new joyous Day.
All your fears will disappear
If you serve Him with good cheer.
Faith and love is all it takes
When you trust Him with your fate.
BE LIKE THE EARTH

(Ruhi Institute Collaborators, Sharing
Circles Songs for Kids)
See the earth,
Its so humble.
Has all Gods wealth to give,
Everything we need to live.
Lets us walk on it every day,
But have you ever heard it say,
I am richer, greater than you.
See the tree,
Its so humble.
The more its fruits abound,
It bows closer to the ground
And shares the fruit that way,
But have you ever heard it say,

I am richer, greater than you.
Be like the earth,
Be like the tree,
Rise to the heaven of glory
On the wings of humility.
Rise to the heaven of glory
On the wings of humility.
BE NOT IDLE BUT ACTIVE

Words by 'Abdu'l-Bah,
(Music: Mimi McClellan)
2 PART ROUND:
Are ye useless weeds or are ye fragrant
herbs?
Are ye barren trees or trees that yield fruit?
Be ye not idle but active and fear not!
BE STILL
(Donna Taylor, Sheet Music in A New Wind
Blowing)
Be still and hear the Word of God,
Be still and hear Him say,
'You men who are the sons of God,
This is the Promised Day.'
Bah'u'llh the Light of God,
The Blessed Beauty said,
'Behold, I am the Promised One,
I've come to raise the dead.'
Be still and sanctify your heart.
Be filled with joy and awe
Behold, the Glory of Allh,
Bah, Bah'u'llh.
BE THANKFUL IN ADVERSITY
And when I am anxious I anticipate
the manifestations of Thy bounties from all
sides.
I anticipate Thy bounties from all sides.
I believe I can hear the Lord saying,

Seek no other helper!
CHORUS:
Be thankful in adversity,
Be thankful when you're sad,
Be thankful when you're worried,
Be thankful when you're glad,
That the confirmations of God may encircle
us all
BE THOU MY VISION
(Traditional Irish Melody)
And when we are saddened,

Render continual thanks unto God, unto
God,
That the confirmations of God may encircle
us all
Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true

word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
BE THOU CONTENT WITH ME

Bah'u'llh, The Hidden Words, Arabic #17
(Music: Pete McLaren)
O Son of Man! Be thou content with Me
and seek no other helper.
For none but Me can ever suffice thee.
BE THOU CONTENT WITH ME

Based on Hidden Words, Arabic #17, by
Bah'u'llh
(Ernestine Atkins, We Have Come to Sing
Praises)
I believe I can hear, (I believe I can hear)
The Lord saying: (Why don't you)
Be thou content with Me
And seek no other helper.
For none but Me
Can ever suffice thee.
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;

Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art:
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
BECAUSE
(Teschemacher - D'Hardelot)
Because you come to me with naught save
love
And hold my hand and lift mine eyes above,
A wider world of hope and joy I see,
Because you come to me.
Because you speak to me in accents sweet,
I find the roses waking 'round my feet,
And I am led through tears and joy to thee,
Because you speak to me.
Because God made thee mine I'll cherish
thee
Through light and darkness, through all time
to be
And pray His love may make our love
divine,
Because made thee mine.
BEIN' GREEN
(Raposo, as sung by Kermit, The Muppet
Show, The Sesame Street Book and Record)
It's not easy bein' green
Having to spend each day the color of the
leaves
When I think it could be nicer
Being red or yellow or gold,
Or something much more colorful, like that
It's not easy bein' green
It seems you blend in with
So many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over
'Cause you're not standing out like flashy
Sparkles in the water or stars in the sky
But green is the color of spring
And green can be cool, and friendly-like
And green can be big, like a mountain
Or important, like a river
Or tall, like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder
I'm green, and it'll do fine
It's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be
BENEDICTION
(Lloyd Haynes, Lift Up Your Voices and
Sing, Vol. 1)
Lo! Angelic Hosts triumphant
Now surround on every side
And in heavenly strains are spreading
Peace and love that will abide
Hark! The heavenly concourse singing
Joyous praises to their King
Lift your voices now and join them
And love's benediction sing

And love's benediction sing.
My God's love now hover o'er us
As a dove with outstretched wings
While His peace that flows around us
To each heart sweet comfort brings
May we now receive His psirit
And its radiance spread after
Now and here in love abiding
In the realms of El-Abh
A BETTER PLACE TO BE
(Dave & Helene Van Manen, Wage Peace)
The sun, it always seems to shine in my
home,
Can't really find a reason to complain.
When I look in your eyes I can see why
I feel my life's an island in a sea of rain.
You make it easier to cope.
You give me reason to find hope
That we can make this world a better place to
be.
There's not a thing I'd rather do
Than to spend my time with you,
As we sow the seeds of love and harmony.
The world outside is tugging hard on my
sleeve
It seems to try so hard to bring me down.
When I feel my walls a start to crumblin',
It takes your love to get my feet back on the
ground.
You make it easier to cope.
You give me reason to find hope
That we can make this world a better place to
be.
There's not a thing I'd rather do
Than to spend my time with you,
As we sow the seeds of love and harmony.
To see the light!

Together we will build our home and fam'ly,
Save them from the crumblin' world outside.
Our kids will live in peace and joy and
laughter,
And if their hearts grow seeds of peace, they
will abide.
We'll make it easier to cope
We'll give them reason to find hope
That they can make this world a better place
to be
As the seeds begin to grow
And the love begins to flow,
We're gonna' find this world's a better place
to be.
We're gonna' find this world's a better place
to be.
The world's gonna' be a better place to be.
BIRD'S NEST
I saw a bird's nest in a tree
God loves the birds and loves the tree
And God loves me
BLACK AND WHITE

The ink is black, the page is white
Together we learn to read and write
A child is black, a child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight,
A beautiful sight!
And now a child can understand
That this is the law of all the land
All the land!
The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day, and then by night
A child is black, a child is white
Together they grow to see the light
And now at last we plainly see

We'll have a dance of liberty!
Liberty!
REPEAT 2ND VERSE
BLACKBIRD
(John Lennon and Paul McCartney)
Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
All your life,
You were only waiting for this moment to
arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see.
All your life,
You were only waiting for this moment to be
free.
Blackbird fly into the light
Of a dark, black night.

Keep them safe
Keep them warm
BLESSED BEAUTY
As I walked down my troubled street
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 knew the Blessed Beauty
Was there and He was:
Walking with me, talking with me,
Laughing with me, singing with me,
Hoping for me, caring for me.
As I walk down my crooked street
I tell everyone I chance to meet,
Hey, brother, don't despair,
The Blessed Beauty is there
And He is:
CHORUS:
Walking with you, talking with you,
Laughing with you, singing with you,
Hoping for you, caring for you.
Now black man, white man,
Yellow man, red man,
When your hopes are tattered and torn
Push some more,

You can open any door,
Because He's:
CHORUS
You people of Bah,
Please take heed
Don't be afraid to mount your steeds
The Blessed Beauty knows you
And He knows your needs
Because He's:

How many roads must a man walk down
before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many seas must a white dove sail
before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannonballs
fly before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the
wind.
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up before

knows
That too many people have died?

before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his
head
Pretending he just doesn't see:

BLUE BONNET NATION

(James Seals)
Way down yonder in the blue bonnet nation
People been a-waiting just to hear His sweet
Name
Way down yonder where there's desolation
People irresistibly drawn to His Flame
Hungry for the life, I'm so hungry for the life
I know that it exists for my lips have kissed
The feet of the century of His Being
Way down yonder in the western reservation
People been a-waiting just to see some kind
of change
Oh how I love to see daylight
In the Texas sky up above, yes I do
Oh how I love to see daylight
In the Texas sky up above
Hungry for the words, so hungry for the
words
The answers for a million years
Of sacrifice and human tears
Unfolding, cascading, Perfect liberty
BRAND NEW AGE

Awhile)
In this world of creation we watch the
seasons change.
The flowers and vegetation bloom, and die,
and rearrange.
And as seasons come and go each year, and
turn another page,
The world of spirit changes too;

This is a brand new age.
CHORUS:
Every age has a springtime and a warm
midsummer sun.
Every spring brings new life, and this one's
just begun.
Cold winter now is leaving.
It's been such a long, long one
Every age has a springtime, and this one's
just begun.
It's time for man to grow up, and everyone
be friends
The earth is just one country and we're its
citizens.
It's time to do away with war, and stop our
childish rage.
It's time to stop the warring games;
This is a brand new age.

and announce the joyful tidings:'

We can learn to live together
We can stand . Or fall
CAMINANDO JUNTOS
(Reed Chandler, Con Ojos de Fe)
Como una flauta suavemente
Tocando en la brisa,
De muy lejos pero tan cerca,
Su msica viene a m, y me dice:
Somos hermanos,
Caminando juntos, en la primavera;
Y las rosas que vemos
Son rostros de hombres.
Se llaman Bah's.
Y ahora yo tambin soy Bah'
Y la msica mando a t, y te digo que:
Somos hermanos,
Caminando juntos, en la primavera;
Y las rosas que vemos
Son rostros de hombres.
Reflejando el sol.
La flauta es un instrumento puro.
Las brisas nos traen su meloda.
En verdad, es un canto universal
Diciendo que somos flores de un mismo
jardn
Somos hojas del mismo rbol,
Somos olas del mismo mar
Y somos hermanos.

Can we stop them?
O God, yes, stop them
Can we stop them youths from fighting?
Can we stop them?
Go God, no, stop them
Can we stop them youths from fighting?
Some of them fighting
Social depression
Political oppression
Some of them being led
By some fanatics
Can't you hear them cry - yeah....
A kind of frustration
Shooting, stabbing
And looting in the streets
Cannot beat the crisis
Of economic slavery
Can't you hear them cry - yeah.
CAN'T HELP SINGING

(Words: E.Y. Harburg, Music: Jerome Kern)
Hummingbird, mocking bird, listen to me;
I got no nest, I got no tree.
Oh, but I'm happy as Heaven is wide;
I got a song bubbling inside:
2 TIMES:
Can't help singing of a
Promise that April is bringing;
I am floating along
On the crest of a song,
There are bells in my heart and they're
ringing.
Can't help crowing,
Folks don't like it, I know, but I'm glowing;
I can't help what they say;
Spring affects me this way,
And I gotta keep singing all day.
CAN'T YOU FEEL HIS LOVE

(John & Sharon Barnes, Flight)
The sun comes up each morning
With blessings we all need.
Its smile of light refreshes us
And soothes the air we breathe.
Beauty that surrounds us
Was fashioned by Loving Hands.
And everything's in order,
That is, except for man.
And it would be much easier,
And would stand to reason,
That man should live and grow
Like the changing of the seasons.
To know and seek to love Him
Is all that we must do,
And the Spirit deep inside
Will let the truth ring through . . .
Can't you feel His love? Can't you feel His

love?
Can't you feel His love? Can't you feel His
love?
The world displays the grandeur
Of God's unerring hands.
And Nature bows with reverence,
From oceans to tiny grains of sand.
God has sent His Message
To each and every man.
The gift of life is a treasure
For those who understand.
And it would be much easier,
And would stand to reason,
That man should live and grow
Like the changing of the seasons.
The truth is not confusing;
Its waters really flow,
Nourishing our spirits
So that we may know . . .
Can't you feel His love?
love?
love?
love?
love?
Can't you feel His

Can't you feel His
Can't you feel His
Can't you feel His
CAN'T YOU SEE?

(Sonny Salsbury)
Can't you see that there's a God
When you see a river flow?
Can't you see that there's a God
When you watch a child grow?
Well, I can tell you that I've seen enough
To say a hundred times each day;

'I believe in God and I'll stake my life
That He loves me and I'll follow in His way.'
Can't you hear that there's a God
When you hear a waterfall?
Can't you hear that there's a God
When you hear a wild bird call?
Well, I can tell you that I've heard enough
Can't you feel that there's a God
Looking at the sky above?
Can't you feel that there's a God
When your heart is filled with love?
Well, I can tell you that I've felt enough
CAN'T YOU SEE THE NEW DAY?

(MANKIND IS ONE)
Can't you see the new day?
Bah'u'llh has come!
Bah'u'llh has come!
Bah'u'llh has come!
The Glory of God!
He has come on the cloud.
The Glory of God!
There is only one God . . .
Mankind is one . . .
All religions are one . . .
Men and women are equal . . .
Science and religion agree . . .
Black and white all together . . .
All over the world . . .
CAREFULLY TAUGHT
(Rodgers & Hammerstein, South Pacific)
You've got to be taught to hate and fear,
You've got to be taught from year to year,
It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear,
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade.
You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
CARING
(Lyrics & music by Stefan BrownTroubadour Music@98)
Caring is giving to all the people around you
Caring is minding our beautiful world that
surrounds you
When you do a good job and give it your
best
Pick up a bird, put it back in the nest
When your friend starts to cry and theyre
feeling quite sad
Just walk up to them and say, Dont feel so
bad.
When your mama is tired and papas asleep
Dont go round shouting and stomping your
feet
Granny Moko is cold, would you get her a
shawl
Certainly you say, no trouble at all.
CENTER OF THE COVENANT

(*Includes Excerpt from Shoghi Effendi;
words and Music by Susan Engle, Jean
White, Michael Moutrie, Special Times)
As the moon to the sea, gentle rain to the
withered land, tender touch to a yearning
hand, so you are to me.
Hush, little child of the Kingdom.

'Abdu'l-Bah is near.
Guiding you; protecting you;
Illumining the lamp of your heart.
Guiding you; protecting you;
Making you a brilliant star.
CHORUS
CHORUS:
O Master, Mystery of God,
Center of the Covenant!
As the wind to the tree, loving glance to a
lonely heart, beck'ning hand to a child
apart. So you are to me.
CHILDREN OF THE KING

Awhile)
CHORUS
There are millions of stars in the heavens

There are millions of fish in the sea
Of the creature God put in the universe
Aren't you glad He made you and me
BRIDGE:
Most Mighty Branch sprung from the
Ancient Root, the Limb of the Law of God,
the Being round Whom all names
revolve, The magic name 'Abdu'lBah.'*
Aren't we lucky to know and to serve Him

We can worship and we can sing
His praise in this world and forever
We are children of the King
As the earth to the seed, mirror pure to a

tarnished soul, brilliant flame to the brittle
coal, so you are to me.
CHORUS:
We can worship, we can sing

CHILD OF THE KINGDOM

Have A School . . . Louhelen)
CHORUS:
Hush, little child of the Kingdom;
Hush, don't you cry.
Hush, my little Bah'.
Hush, don't you fear.
There are millions of sweet little children

Many ears, many hearts hear His call
Everyone was created to know Him
Aren't you glad God made us all
Aren't we lucky to know and to serve Him
We can worship and we can sing

CHILDREN OF THE WORLD

(Worlds by Duane Troxel, Music by Marie
CHORUS:
Close your eyes and come with me
Beyond the land beyond the sea
Within my mind where I can see
The children of the world
The sun that rises on their faces
And lights the high and hidden places
Colors all the human races
They build their dreams from sand and dirt
And cry big tears when they get hurt
And wear bright trousers or a skirt
They're good, they're strong
They're sweet, they're bright
They fill our lives with happy light
They'll change our lives from wrong to right
La, la de da
They peek around their father's leg
They marvel at the perfect egg
And for a treat they're apt to get
CHILDREN'S PRAYER/CHANT
Prayer by 'Abdu'l-Bah
(Music: Michael Moutrie & Susan Engle,
Come and Sing & Special Times)
O Lord! I am a child; enable me to grow
beneath the shadow of Thy lovingkindness.
I am a tender plant; cause me to be nurtured
through the outpourings of the clouds of
Thy bounty.
I am a sapling of the garden of love;
make me into a fruitful tree.
Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful,
and Thou art the All-Loving,
the All-Knowing, the All-Seeing.
CHILDREN'S PRAYER
(Music: Bev Ruhe, Canta esa meloda/Sing
this Melody)
O God! Rear this little babe in the bosom of
Thy love
and give it milk from the breast of
Providence. Cultivate this fresh plant in
the rose-garden of Thy love and nurture it
by showers from the clouds of Providence.
Make it a child of the Kingdom and lead it
to the divine world.
Thou art powerful and kind! Thou art the
Giver, the Bestower, Whose blessings
transcend all else.
La, la de da
CHORUS
Children of the world
And you well know that you will be

responsible for your family before God.
CIRCLE OF LIFE
(Lyrics: Tim Rice, Music: Elton John, The
Lion King)
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
2 TIMES:
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
CITY FROM THE HEART

My brothers and sisters crying in Iran.
My brothers and sisters
mourning in Iran.
My brothers and sisters
suffering in Iran.
My brothers and sisters dying in Iran.
Frustration ... frustration
Accusation ... accusation
Persecution ... persecution
Execution ... execution.
In Iran the members of the Bah'
Community
have suffered years of
persecution at the hands of a
fanatical clergy who have robbed,
banished, tortured and killed them in
a violent campaign to wipe out this

Cause. Although they have no
political motives and the foundation
of their belief is the unity of
mankind, over 20,000 Bah's have
died in the struggle to express their
faith. And the martyrdoms continue
to this day!
A cry from the heart.
Their love for God
could tear them apart.
Refute brutality.
Give religious identity.
CLUCK, CLUCK RED HEN

(Adapted from Baa Baa Black Sheep by
Jacqueline Reinach, A Young Children's
Concert with Raffi)
Baa baa, black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full.
One for your sweater and one for the rug
One for your blanket to keep you warm and
snug.
Cluck, cluck, red hen, have you any eggs?
Yes, sir, yes, sir, as many as your legs.
One for your breakfast, and one for your
lunch
Come back tomorrow - I'll have another
bunch
Moo, moo, brown cow, have you any milk
for me?
Yes, sir, yes, sir, tasty as can be.
Churn into butter and make it into cheese.
Freeze it into ice cream or drink it if you
please.
Buzz, buzz, busy bee, is your honey sweet?
Yes, sir, yes, sir, sweet enough to eat.
Honey on your muffin and honey on your

cake.
Honey by the spoonful, as much as I can
make.
Baa baa, black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full.
Chorus
(SLOWLY)
And oh what a wonderful world God has
given us,
All those treasures that mankind can hold,
Stand up, lets show our colours
COLOURS
(by Shelly and Steve Hines)
Well I can imagine all of the people living
together as one,
Everyone speaking the same kind of
language.
And having the same kind of fun,
Never a thought to ones hue or complexion,
Prejudice tears us apart.
There is only one tone in a man thats
important
Thats the colour that comes from the heart.
COME AND GO WITH ME

Come and go with me to that land
Where I'm bound.
Where I'm bound.
Ain't no hatred in that land . . .
There is love in that land . . .
Chorus:
Stand up, lets show our colours,
These praiseworthy actions and deeds
Take note of what lies before us,
Lets live out our spiritual needs.
Stand up, lets show our colours,
And walk through this world hand in hand.
Take note of what lies before us,
For justice together well stand.
A man and a woman were born to be equal,
And knowledge is everyones right
We can settle our differences through
consultation,
We dont have to quarrel and fight.
Religion and science when studied together,
The secrets will come to unfold.
And oh what a wonderful world God has
given us,
All those treasures that mankind can hold.
We are one in that land . . .

Meet the Master in that land . . .

COME ON HOME
What image could we have of Him without
the sun
A hundred thousand million rays, a smile on
everyone
And what image could we have of Him
without the stars
A festival, celestial, sprinkled near and far
Most of the time we are refugees from the
promptings of our hearts
Come on home to the sun, come on home to
the One
Come on home again - to the Love
What image could we have of Him, without

the sky
Cherubs chasing round like clouds, at dawn
and eventide
And what image could we have of Him,
without the sea
Mysterious, sensuous, unfathomably free
Most of the time we are exiles from the
centre of our being
Come on home to the sky, come on home to
the height
Come on home again to the Light
We can always find Him - forget about the
past
We can always find Him - we only have to
ask
Come on home to the sun, come on home to
the One
Come on home again - to the Love
COME WALK WITH ME

(Joany M. Lincoln, Sheet Music in A New
Wind Blowing)
O won't you come now and walk with me
On the path of Bah'u'llh.
Black man, white man, yellow and red,
O won't you come now and walk with me
On the path of all mankind.
Bah'u'llh has brought to us new teachings
for this day,
Teachings that challenge man and then let
him say,
We're waves of one sea and leaves of one
tree,
So won't you come now and walk with me
On the path in this new day.
Hindu, Moslem, Christian, and Jew;
Black man, white man, all men and you,
All men and you.
COME YE CHILDREN, ONE AND ALL

(Words: M. Wilcox, M. Jensen & L. Haynes)
Come ye children, one and all,
Listen to His joyous call.
Sing His praises! Sing His praises!
Blessed Lord, Bah'u'llh!
Sing His praises every day.
Love your Lord in every way.
Sing His praises! Sing His praises!
Blessed Lord, Bah'u'llh!
Boys and girls in all the lands,
Raise your voices, clap your hands. . . .
Moses came and Jesus, too.
They Each came with truth for you. . . .
God created everything.
Let our joyous praises ring. . . .
COME YE FOR HARMONY

Make haste to love, make haste to trust
Make haste to give, to guidance come
CHORUS:
Come ye for harmony to behold the Star of
Day
Come here for kindliness, for ease
Come here for amity, for amity
Come here for amity and peace
Come and cast down your weapons of wrath
Till unity is won, unity is won
Come and in the Lord's true path
Each one help each one, each one help each
one
THE COMFORTER
International crisis,
Children going thirsty every day
Longing for the truth
To quench their thirsty lips
Here comes your Comforter
Oh, oh, Bah'u'llh come forward
From the land of Persia
Bah'u'llh come forward
From the prison of Akk
Bah'u'llh come forward
Once Jesus Christ said He had to go
To another place to send the Comforter...
COMPASSION
(Jennifer Russell, The Virtues Songs)
CHORUS:
Today I act with compassion
I will be a friend
When someone needs a friend
I notice and give my attention
When help is needed
Or a hurt needs to mend
Compassion is caring
Compassion is listening
Compassion is being close
To one who is feeling alone
Consider yourself well in;

Consider yourself part of the furniture.
There isn't a lot to spare;
Who cares? Whatever we've got we share!
Consider yourself our mate.
We don't want to have no fuss.
For after some consideration, we can state:
Consider yourself one of us.
CONSIDERATION IS CONTAGIOUS
CHORUS:
Consider me, consider you
Consideration is contagious
I consider what I can do
That is thoughtful and courteous
I put myself in your shoes
And I walk a little way
I respect what you're feeling
Right here, right now today
CHORUS
I think of the little things
That bring you happiness
How do my actions affect you?
Consideration brings peacefulness
CHORUS
CHORUS
CONSIDER YOURSELF (Excerpt)

(Lionel Bart, Oliver!)
CONSULTATION
(Words: Roberta Christian, Music: Eugene
Babcock, A Bah' Child's Song Book)
Consider yourself at home,

Consider yourself one of the family.
We've taken to you so strong,
It's clear we're going to get along!
Consultation means finding out

What everybody is thinking about.
You listen to them and they listen to you
And you all do what most of you want to do.
CONVERSATION PEACE
(Stevie Wonder, Conversation Peace)
COURAGE
CHORUS:
Staring right at 2000 AD
As if mankind's atrocities to man has no
history
But just a glance at life in 2000 BC
We find traces of man's inhumanity to man
There's no mystery
Be strong and let your heart take courage

Stand firm and by your heart be led
Be brave when you feel afraid
Then let go of fear
And with courage move ahead
CHORUS:
All for one, one for all
There's no way we'll reach our greatest
heights
Unless we heed the call
Me for you, you for me
There's no chance of world salvation
Less the conversation's peace
We can't pause, watch and say 'no' this can't
be
When there's a plan by any means to have
Cleansing of one's ethnicity
And we shouldn't act as if we don't hear nor
see
Like in the holocaust of six million Jews and
A hundred and fifty million blacks during
slavery
CHORUS
When publicly or privately convened
May love, positivity and life's preservation
be the basic theme
And should you put your trust in some
prophet in life
Give him trust but your faith must stay with
the one
Who gave the ultimate sacrifice for . . .
CHORUS
CHORUS:
Courage is a quality of the heart
The Spirit of God within me
Courage is bravery in
Face of my fears
With wisdom and humility
Be strong when life overwhelms you
Find courage to try new things
Don't give up when something
Feels hard to do
With courage we can do great things
CHORUS
COURTESY
Let's all practice courtesy, courtesy, courtesy
Let's all practice courtesy every single day
Please and thank you, How are you?
Is there something I can do?
Gentle ways and guarded speech
Let's all try together
COURTESY
Based on words of 'Abdu'l-Bah
(Lyrics: Nancy Ward & Doug Cameron,
Music: Nancy Ward, We Want to Grow Up)
CHORUS:
Courtesy is greater than the rays of the sun.
Courtesy is greater than the rays, than the

rays of the sun.
Manners are the gift that we give to
everyone.
Manners are the gift that we give, that we
give to everyone.
Love is the best thing that we hold in our
hearts.
Love is the best thing that we hold, that we
hold in our hearts.
Courtesy seems to me that I make sure that

you're happy before I take care of me
CHORUS
Saying prayers during Feast is so special

We can feel that the Master is near
How He loves us to serve one another
With our hearts full of kindness and cheer
Truth is the light that beats against the bright

glass of the heart.
Ah . . .
Truth is, truth is the light that beats against
the bright glass of the heart.
CHORUS
rays of the sun.
rays of the sun.
COURTESY
If the day should be cloudy and gloomy
And there seems to be nothing to do
Help a friend
Tell your mother you love her
And your day will be shiny and new
Saying 'please', 'you are welcome' and 'thank

you',
'May I do something for you today?'
Brings a smile from the people we talk to
Just those words become easy to say
THE COVENANT
(Leona H. Hosack, Canta esa meloda/Sing
this Melody)
The Bb, the Gate, told the people of the
coming;
The coming of Bah'u'llh.
Bah'u'llh was a Prophet of God,
A Prophet, the Glory of God.
CHORUS:
The Covenant is a promise
And a chain of unending love
That God will never leave man alone.
'Abdu'l-Bah was the Son of the Prophet,
The Servant of the Glory of God.
Shoghi Effendi, the grandson of the Servant;
The Guardian of the Cause of God.
CHORUS
Are you well? Are you happy? How are you?

Abdu'l-Bah asked the friends every day
He wanted all of our hearts to be happy
Courtesy makes us all feel that way
The Universal House of Justice

Administers the laws of Bah'u'llh,
The laws of the Glory of God.
CHORUS
CROSSROADS
(Russ Brightwell, Legacy - World Peace)
Cry out, cry out the name of Bah'u'llh,

Cry out , cry out the name of the Glory of
God.
Get out on the street, look them in the eye
Be the one to beat, when you cry.
Chorus
Headin' up on the crossroads

Better beware now
Every man comes to the crossroads
Somewhere, sometime
If he moves too fast
Ends up walking the line
If a sailing ship should need no wind
And a flower need no sun
A ma would need no brother
We'd perish one by one
CHORUS:
Heading up on the crossroads
Better beware now
Comin' up on the crossroads
Make your choice, make your choice
If you're looking for answers
To the questions that are burning
Let me tell you the answers
If your mind is open to learning
If your mind is open to learning
REPEAT CHORUS
At the crossroads, At the crossroads, At the
crossroads,
CRY OUT!
(by Cat Winterfox)
Cry out, cry out the name of Bah'u'llh,
I said cry out, cry out the name of the Glory
of God.
Get up on your feet, raise the standard high,
Make the victories sweet, and then cry,
Chorus:
Help them to spread amongst all the nations

of the earth
The light of guidance, that cometh from the
Company on High
So tell it to your friends, shout it to the sky
Until the old world ends, we must cry. Oh
yes cry.
Chorus 2x
DANCE, MOVE, SING

(Gordi Munro, Unity in Diversity)
When I look at you, your smile is all I can
see
It brings out the goodness in me
I believe in what you say
And you say you believe in me
Your love has found a place in me
CHORUS:
You make me dance, you make me move,
you make me sing
You give me a song and a rhythm and a
harmony
You make me dance, you make me move,
you make me sing
And I feel like an eagle whose learnt to
spread his wings
And no mountain is high enough for me
Your love has meaning, and it's taught me
many things
To feel from life, to take from life, and to
give
Now I have a sense of hope

And my life has a brand new start
'Cause you hold the key to my heart
CHORUS
Great thoughts and words are in the minds of
many friends
But few have the courage to commit what
they think and say
But you give of yourself now you're a master
of the stage
My world comes alive with the mention of
your name
CHORUS
DAVE THE FRIENDLY GHOST

(Dave and Helene Van Manen, We Recycle)
If I wake up tomorrow morning and I turn
into a bear
When I look in the mirror I am covered all
with hair
Well, I'll be a bear who shares
I'll be a bear who cares
I'll be a bear who's really nice
I'll be a bear who's fair
If I sit down for breakfast and I turn into a
ghost
I'll mind my table manners as I eat my whole
wheat toast
I'll be a most courteous ghost
I'll have friends from coast to coast
Yes, I'll be friends with everyone
Call me Dave the friendly ghost
Oooooooooooooooooooo
If I am playing in the park and I turn into an
ape
I'll swing on the monkey bars
'Cause I'll be in really good shape

Eat all the vegetables on my plate
Be in bed most nights by eight
I'll take care of my body
I'll be an ape in shape
OOOOOO AAAAAHHHHH
If I crawl into bed tonight and I turn into a
sheep
I'll get all comfy cozy and then I'll go to
sleep
I'll be sheep asleep deep
You won't even hear a peep
I'll be sheep that you can keep
When you go to sleep
Baaa.................
So if you're a boy or if you're a girl
Or a bear or a sheep or an ape
Be kind to folks and animals
You gotta' love instead of hate
Choose to do what's right in the day or in the
night
Then you will shine just like a star
Then you will shine just like a star
A star that shines so bright
THE DAWNBREAKERS
(Deborah Bley & Greg Shaw)
When all is gone but awesome light
To show the sun was here,
Who lights the candles in the night
To ward away the fear?
Who chased the sun while others crept
Till soon the fire was gone?
Who brings the day to those who slept
And failed to see the dawn?
We are but tiny morning stars
Across a darksome sky.

Pale and imperfect mirrors
To a sun rising high.
Yet sometimes stars have guided men
And ushered in the day.
If only men would look and see,
The stars will show the way.
We humbly light the candle wicks,
Each one for unity,
Then lose ourselves in sun's great flame.
The dawnbreakers are we.
DAY BY DAY
Day by day, day by day,
Oh, dear Lord, three things I pray:
To see Thee more clearly,
Love Thee more dearly,
Follow Thee more nearly
Day by Day
(REPEAT ALL)
Day by day by day by day by day
DAY OF GOD
(Tune: When the Saints Go Marchin' In)
The Day of God has finally come!
The Day the saints all prayed for
The Promised Day has come!
Then shout his name -- Bah'u'llh!

Then shout his name -- Bah'u'llh!
In every valley, hill and plain!
Oh, don't you want to be in that number
Who proclaim His Holy Name?
DEAREST FRIEND I CANNOT SEE

Dearest Friend I cannot see,
Hear my plea, hear my plea:
Love me as I sleep tonight.
Wake me with the morning light.
DEC. 9TH, CAYUCOS POINT

(Parrish & Toppano - The Shores of This
Great Ocean)
Another day upon the California coast
Waves breaking on the rocky shore
I can see as far as any man can see
Up to where the fog rolls in this winter sea
And it feels like ev'rything is well within my
reach
But you - you've flown away
The Army of Light must now take action

Let His banner be unfurled
Bring the Greatest Name to all the masses
In this sick, despairing world
Another day upon the planet earth

There's someone dying, someone's giving
birth
And the gulls, they spin in circles
'Round and 'round the bay
And the rocks like silent sentinels
Guard this misty world of gray
And it feels like everything is well
Within its place, but me - you've flown away
So break the sword! And still the drum!

The Day the saints all prayed for
Friends reach out to touch,

The stars shine down
But nothing seems to get through to me no
more
And the galaxies, they seem to spin so

uselessly
My eyes are veiled to all this world's
mysteries
I'm a ship that's lost its way upon some long
lost sea
So let it be - you've flown away
Thank you, God, for granting me a spiritual

rebirth
Help me live a happy life in service to
mankind
I dedicate myself to Thee, heart and soul and
mind
mind
May a child grow strong and wild

Like the flowers clinging to this canyon wall.
And may your days be blessed with sun and
rain
On your journey through this world of joy
and pain
But nothing's ever, ever, ever gonna be the
same
Without you - you've flown away
Another day upon the California coast

Noone walks this rocky line with me
Cayucos used to seem a friendly place
I guess I used to think I knew her every bay
and quay
But nothin' in this world ever seems to stay
the same
Today - you've flown away
May a child grow strong and wild
Like the flowers clinging to this canyon wall.
And if we ever meet again somewhere
The poet in the circle care, princess with the
golden hair
I'll still be in love, and love can surely cut
and tear
Anyway, today you've flown away
DEDICATION

Thank you, God, for giving me the good

DESERT PEOPLE
(James Seals)
Farther along we'll understand,
We're all just a part of the plan
The Sun of Reality has dawned above
eternity
Now, even the desert will bloom
Even the desert will bloom
Hurry, oh hurry, come soon
'Cause even the desert will bloom.
Farther along we'll be at ease
The world will be free from disease
The Most Great Peace will come
And all mankind will live as one
And even the desert will bloom
So let Your sweet Rain fall on me
For I am dying
We're desert people and we're in pain
But we're still trying
We've been down so long
We are dry and we are thirsty
So you see, the Rain we must have
Is the tears You shed long ago.
Farther along we'll find our way
Through all the darkness today
The Sun of Reality has dawned above
eternity
Now, even the desert will bloom
Even the desert will bloom
Hurry, oh hurry, come soon

DESPIERTA DE TU SUEO
(Wiley Rinaldi)
Oh, t en la tierra,
Mira hacia afuera.
Dme qu has hallado.
Que t has hallado,
Que lo puedes comparar
Con el aire al respirar
Cuando el sol est saliendo,
Y el alabanza se rompe
En el horizonte dorado.
T que pareces muerto,
Abre tus ojos,
Levntate de tu lecho,
Despierta de tu sueo
Y sumrgete en el saber de Su verbo,
Que tu corazn volar como las aves.
(RPIDO:)
O, Dios, ten Tus puertas abiertas y djanos
entrar.
Del orgullo y locura ayuda a librarnos.
No hay nadie ms en quien confiar,
Ni lugar para refugiarnos.
(LENTO:)
Pues bajo de Tus alas nos proteges,
Bajo de Tus alas nos proteges con Tu amor.
En cada edad viene un Hombre,
Declarando de Dios Su mensaje.
Que ensea al nio creciente a comprender
Y despertar de su invierno
Y cubrir el mundo en el mensaje de la Nueva
Era,
Como las flores adornan las lomas en
primavera.
DID YOU EVER WONDER?

CHORUS
Did you ever wonder why God sent us
Bah'u'llh?
Did you ever wonder?
Love is the answer;
Love holds the universe together.
Love is the answer.
Did you ever wonder why God made all
men brothers?
Love is the answer;
Love holds the hearts of men together.
Love is the answer.
Did you ever wonder how we can teach the
Cause of God?
Love is the answer;
Love holds the universe together.
Love is the answer.
Did you ever wonder why God gave us
mothers and fathers?
Love is the answer;
Love holds the family together.
Love is the answer.
CHORUS
DIGGING FOR DIAMONDS

I'm digging for diamonds, looking for gold
Tunneling round down deep in my soul
Cause everything that I might be
Is laying down there just a-waiting for me
There's ruby reds and lapis blue
Topaz, turquoise, emeralds, too!

I never know what I might find
But whatever it is I know that it's mine
CHORUS:
Whoa, diggin for diamonds
Whoa, prospectin for gold
I know I'm gonna find them
Waitin for me down deep in my soul
It's hot down there but I can take the heat
The pressure on the coal makes the diamonds

It gets dark but that's alright
Cause I'm gonna carry me a great big light
I'm pouring down sweat, swinging my axe
Puttin' in the hours and thems the facts
Every gem I get to shine
My Lord! It feels so fine!

Mama's got gold and Daddy, too

THE DIVINE SUN

(Leona Hosack, Canta esa meloda/Sing this
Melody)
CHORUS:
Love in our hearts,
Sun in our eyes,
Peace on our minds,
And God in our lives.
Mothers and fathers,
Sisters and brothers,

They all know what love can be,
But people who live all over the world can
be,
Part of the same, part of the same family.
CHORUS
When the sun shines in the sky,
We are happy inside,
When we love God we're happy too,
And whenever you turn your face to God,
You will find sunshine all the time.
CHORUS
God in our lives.
DO YOU KNOW?
Music Collection 1)
Do you know who gave up His worldly
possessions so that you might have a
rebirth?
Do you know who endured torture and
prison so God's message could reach all on
earth?
CHORUS:
'Twas the Glory of God, a Pure Hollow
Reed.
He brought you the truth so your life would
be freed
His words fill you with power to do any deed
They soothe every hurt and meet every need
To receive His love, simply turn toward His
light
He will kindle your soul and its fire will burn
bright.
Do you know who transformed the entire
creation with just one stroke of His Pen?
Do you know who gave us the gift of

attraction that links our hearts 'til the end?
CHORUS
DONA NOBIS PACEM [GIVE US

PEACE]
(Traditional Christian hymn)
Dona nobis pacem, pacem; Dona nobis
pacem.
Dona nobis pacem, Dona nobis pacem.
Dona nobis pacem, Dona nobis pacem.
DONT DISTURB THE LADYBUG

(Written by: Unknown)
Dont disturb the ladybug
Sleepin by the spiders web
And if you see a butterfly
Dont try to catch it in your net
Its taken such a long long time
To make this very special place
Open up your soul and mind
To all it has to say.
Be still
Take it in awhile
Feel the sunshine
Warm upon your face
Youll feel
When it makes you smile
Like youre welcome
To the human race.
Everybody sees a part
Of what this life can really be
No one sees like you can see
When you let your mind be free
The wind is blowing through the trees
A song that everyone can learn
God is playing hide and seek
Everywhere you turn.

Be still
Take it in awhile
Feel the sunshine
Warm upon your face
Youll feel
When it makes you smile
Like youre welcome
To the human race.
DON'T TELL ME IT WILL NEVER BE

(Doug Cameron, If You Only Knew)
I see a world where one soul stands behind
another
I see a world where people stand beside each
other
Light that follows light, worlds within our
eyes
Love to fill each heart, love to feel inside
CHORUS:
Don't tell me it never will be (Don't tell me
it never, it never will be)
Don't tell me it never will be (Don't you tell
me it never will be)
I see a child laughing in the sunlight with her
mother
I see a child reaching out to touch the hand
of her brother
I can't stop the tears as they begin to fill my
eyes
This child is like a dove; her wings will
touch the sky
CHORUS 2 TIMES
The darkness will pass away (will pass

We'll know peace for a thousand, thousand
years

If a Nightingale unfurled His song, to open

every rose
Doors and windows would stay closed, don't
you know, don't you know
DOWN WITH ALL YOUR SORROWS

(Karin Ferguson)
And if God Himself came down to earth, His

great Love to bestow
Most would not regard His worth, don't you
know, don't you know
Down, down with all your sorrows.

Up, up with happy songs.
Hand, hand it to your neighbor.
Try to pass it right along.
Roses and nightingales, diamonds in the

snow
All the world is looking for - something
don't you know, don't you know
CHORUS:
It's a very tender story, one that must be told
to all.
Let your spirit do the talking
When you tell of Bah'u'llh.
Now the diamond it is your soul, your heart

it is the rose
And the Nightingale is the voice of God,
don't you know, don't you know
DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE

Gonna' lay down my sword and shield
Love, love the Blessed Beauty.

Sing His praises to the sky.
Go, go and tell your brother
What it means to be Bah'.
DREAM REMEMBERED
(Tina Swatton & New Jersey Bah' School
Children)
I had a dream the other night.
Where I saw a beautiful sight.
A garden of roses filled my eyes
With the splendor of paradise.
Nightingales sang a beautiful song,
That told of a brand new day.
I knew it, I knew the time had come!
For the Glory of God, the Promised One!
DRINK TO ME ONLY WITH THINE

EYES
(Old English)
Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine,
Or leave a kiss within the cup,
And I'll not ask for wine;
The thirst that from the soul doth rise,
Doth ask a drink divine,
But might I of Love's nectar sip,
I would not change for thine.
EACH ONE TEACH ONE

(John Coley & Bob Gundry)
If only one with soul on fire
Arose to serve his heart's 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:
CHORUS:
Each one teach one
Scatter thru the land together
Individually reach the heart of man
Each one teach one

Watch our numbers grow
If each would teach
We'd have one world for Bah'u'llh
If every one will do his part
Plant the seed within one heart
Nurture it with loving care
Till the hidden fruit does bear
One - two - four - and eight
Till the Cause be comes so great
That everyone will know Its fame
And all the world will call His Name.
CHORUS
EAGLE
Eagle gliding through peaks above
Lend me His Name, the One I love
For I know He's up there, I've known
And I'll reap the harvest
God has sown, God has sown
Our paths will cross
Someday real soon
His eyes will be lit
By the silvery moon
By the silvery moon
Eagle gliding, eagle gliding, eagle gliding
Eagle gliding to the One I love
EARTH
(James Seals and Dash Crofts, Seals &
Crofts)
Earth is my mother, no other, my sanctuary
But earth is my prison, my grave and my
mortuary
Give me a castle in the sun,
Where rainbows have ends and the people

are one
Show me an earth where the birth
Of a Child, disguised
As the Word can be recognized
Earth is my nation, my station, obligatory
But earth is my sorrow, my curse's
depository
Give me a table beyond the clouds,
Where there's enough food to feed all the
crowds
Show me an earth where the birth
Of a Child, disguised
As the Word can be recognized
Let me hear my other voice
Who guides me now but gives me choice
Tell me where to find the Friend
Should He pass this way again Remember 'Akk for His sake; the earth is
but a snake
To His Voice that spake.
EARTHKEEPER
CHORUS:
Earthkeeper, earthkeeper, that's what I am
I care for the sea and the air and the land
I love all God's creatures, whatever they are
I am an earthkeeper
I live my life gently on our mother earth
It's my simple gift and she knows what it's
worth
You see our little planet needs people who
care,
Folks to watch over her, treating her fair
So I'll plant a tree. choose to walk, not drive
Recycle my garbage, turn the heat down

inside
Grow my own garden, reduce what I use
I am an earthkeeper.
CHORUS
EAST OF GINGER TREES

(Words: James Seals, Music: James Seals &
Dash Crofts, Seals & Crofts Summer
Breeze/Greatest Hits,Lift Up Your Voices
and Sing, Vol. 2 )
Go East of your dream and farm
Let peace and silence spin your yarn
What harm can befall thee in yon
'Wilderness of Clove'
Go on east of ginger trees
Go soft, and silent like the breeze
With ease be off and wander in yon
'Wilderness of Clove'
Go on past the goldenrods
Where fools and angels lose their odds
And gods of our ancestors
Did immerse themselves in Clove
Go on toward the 'Crimson Shore'
Beyond this life of metaphors
Where doors of understanding's house
Decorates He them with Clove
Be lions roaring in forests of knowledge,
Whales swimming in the oceans of life.
Prepare to meet Bah'u'llh in the 'Garden of
Clove.'

ELLAS SONG
CHORUS:
(2x) We who believe in freedom cannot
rest,
We who believe in freedom cannot rest until
it comes.
Until the killing of Black men, Black
mothers sons
Is as important as the killing of white men,
white mothers sons.
That which touches me most is that I had a
chance to work with people
Passing on to others that which was passed
on to me.
To me young people come first, they have
the courage where we fail,
And if I can but shed some light, as they
carry us through the gale.
The older I get the better I know the secret to
my going on,
Is when the reins are in the hands of the
young, who dare to run against the storm.
Not needing to clutch for power, not needing
the light just to shine on me,
I need to be me in the number, as we stand
against tyranny.
Struggling myself dont mean a whole lot,
Ive come to realize,
That teaching others to stand up and fight is
the only way my struggle survives.
ENDLESSLY
(Jerry Irish, We Will Have A School . . .
Louhelen)
ENTHUSIASM IS AN ATTITUDE
(ENTHUSIASM)
When the dreamin's done and I must rise

And I wipe the sleep from my eyes
Thou art my Light, O Lord, give me eyes to
see
The way to You, O Lord, that is best for me.
CHORUS:
Enthusiasm is an attitude
It brings excitement to what I do
It comes from inside me and you
Enthusiasm is an attitude
When the sun floats high above the earth

And my family share their mirth
Thou art my sounds, O Lord, give me ears to
hear
I like to laugh and have a good time

In the cold, cold winter
Or the summertime
If I give myself 100%
Holding nothing back
From any event
I can have fund doing anything
In the fall or in the swing of spring
My imagination is my main tool
To bring fun to any job
Even school
And I pray that I recognize you

Through Your many worlds - endlessly.
And I pray that you will educate me,
That I will wing towards you - endlessly.
In the twilight hours when night pours in.
And I turn to you to clear my head,
Thou art my heart, O Lord, give me thoughts
to know
ENOCH OLINGA BE HAPPY!

(Alonzo Coleman)
Be happy! That's what Enoch Olinga said.
Get up in the morning and get out of bed.
Bah'u'llh the Promised One has come
To bring a fresh dawning for everyone.
So reach out for that bright new day.
To all mankind - we can show them the way.
Everyone arise and say,
Bah'u'llh has brought a new day.
REPEAT ALL

EQUAL DOESN'T MEAN THE SAME

(Dorothy H')
Equal doesn't mean the same.
Equal doesn't mean the same.
No, equal doesn't mean the same.
Now two plus two equals four
Need I say anymore?
Yes, they're equal, but they're not the same!
Now black man, red man, yellow and white,
We stick together, that is right.
For we're equal, but we're not the same!
Two nickels and a dime buy the same.
They are different in looks and name.
But they're equal, though they're not the
same!
Now men and women, both are smart,

Created by God from the start
To be equal, but they're not the same!
THE EUPHRATES
Dash Crofts, Summer Breeze)
Yesterday I was born here, tomorrow I'll be
gone
They say there's a man now,
Down in Persia, down there
Guess I'll walk the Euphrates River
The deep, deep river, the wide, wide river
The long, long river, the Spiritual River
The 'River of Life', the 'River of Life'
CHORUS:
Let the traces linger on,
Many years have come and gone
Oh how lonely man has been
Without a trace of the 'Traceless Friend'
Every day brings us closer
And every night my Soul sees
A troubled mankind suffering blindly
Guess I'll walk the Euphrates River, so
CHORUS
EVERY TIME I PRAY

I take a bath in water to wash the dirt away.

Well, I don't know what that fire is

Every wonder, every wonder,
Every wonder, every wonder
Well, I just can't say what I feel today
'Cause the words, they will not come
Up to my mind from an aching heart
So tired of feeling numb
Some people say that the world's okay
Some say we're under the gun
Taking aim on the coming of ...

Caught up in the thrill of distant dangers

EVERYONE
(Susan Engle and Jean White, Special Times)
Everyone laughs. Everyone cries.
Everyone giggles. Everyone sighs.
No matter our outsides, our father or mother,
We really and truly belong to each other
Everyone hurts. Everyone grins.
Everyone loses. Everyone wins.
Fat, tall, thin, short, in one shade or another
We really and tryly belong to each other
BRIDGE:
Great to be a rainbow family. The best in
everyone comes to sight of one sun.
Everyone thinks. Everyone knows.
Everyone touches. Everyone grows.
In each shining face is a sister or brother
We really and truly belong to each other.
EVERYTHING TO GAIN
No one can take these days away
When all is said and done
This love will survive
As long as we're alive
And in the world to come
It's only the stainless deeds
That we carry beyond the grave
So nothing else matters to me
We've got nothing to lose
And everything to gain
All of our dreams,
Things we hear and see
As we travel down the road
They mean the world to me
We're makin' history
There'll be forests
From the grains we've sown

Sunshine and rain, comfort and pain
I find all the meanings change
Every time I make a sacrifice
To emblazon the Greatest Name
FAITHFULNESS
Faithfulness is being true
To someone or to something
I'm faithful to my beliefs
They're reflected in my actions and my being
CHORUS:
Faithfulness is being like a rock
Being like a rock in the midst of
Rushing waters
I learn about my beliefs
I ask questions and find answers
I listen to my heart
When I am open God guides me
To what matters
CHORUS
I'm faithful to my friends
I'm loyal to my family
My words and my actions match
I keep my promises faithfully
CHORUS
FAMILY OF MANKIND
(Words: Brian Thornton, Music: Paul
Wright)
To celebrate each human birth,
Means striving for a better earth.
If every child has room to grow
Then all adults must clearly show
How deeply they do truly care

That all our young shall fairly share
The wealth of all mankind.
CHORUS:
So look beyond the here and now and see
what we might be,
United all in one great bond - the world-wide
family
The colour of our skin should not
Dictate the nature of our lot.
How long before we understand
This planet is but one great land,
Sufficient for our every need,
But not so for the constant greed
Which bedevils all mankind.
CHORUS
Whilst half the world contented sleep
The other half can only weep.
How many children born must die?
How often must a mother's sigh
Ring out in anguish and distress
To ears quite deaf and make redress
For the division of mankind?
CHORUS
The young are wise in many ways,
For eyes, with age, begin to haze.
Youth's vision blurs, and compromise
Begins to make a truth of lies.
And on these half truths men have built
Our present world with all its guilt,
Denying true mankind.
CHORUS
Let each of us with joy declare
And for a bright new age prepare
When every child, wherever born,
Is birthright of a brave new dawn
Where hunger of whatever kind

Is something which is left behind
In the history of mankind.
THE FAMILY TREE

CHORUS:
We're all the leaves on a branch of the family
tree
We all want to be happy, we all want to live
free
Black, brown or white, from each and every
land
Like a beautiful garden, we're the family of
man
For inside of us all is the same kind of light

CHORUS
(BRIDGE)
Some people spend their days in a
wheelchair
Some can't read while others cannot see
All these differences, they don't really matter
For together we are one family
CHORUS
FEAST AT MY HOUSE
(Worlds by Susan Engel, Music by Marie
Some people judge by the color of skin

Others say you're better if your body is thin
Some folks say that poor people are lazy
And teenagers' music is all kind of crazy
Now I believe that all people deep inside are
the same
Though our outsides look different and we
have different names
It doesn't much matter if you're black or
you're white
For inside of us all is the same kind of light
Silver polished, dishes gleaming,

Candles glowing, rice pot steaming,
Prayers practiced, napkins creased.
Soon the Friends are coming to Feast,
Soon the Friends are coming to Feast.
CHORUS
CHORUS:
My house and I, my house and I,
My house and I, we love the Feast.
We love, we love, we love the Feast.
Some say that women are not equal to men

And you're not a real person if you're only
age ten
Others say their religion is God's only song,
If you are not their religion, then you're
living all wrong
Now I believe that all people deep inside are
the same
Though our outsides look different and we
have different names
It doesn't much matter if you're black or
you're white
Roses' scent fills rooms and halls,

Chairs unfolded line the walls,
Teapot bubbles, vacuum hums,
Just can't wait 'til everyone comes.
Just can't wait 'til everyone comes.
Doorbell ringing, love and laughter,

Sacred verses, mujsic after.
Questions answered, joy released.

There's only one way to win:
Fight your battles with the weapon of love.
The weapon - of love!
One day we're allies
Tomorrow we're telling lies,

surrender.
Pick up your white flag and give it a wave.
Oo, stop, love, listen, listen
Oo, ready, aim, fire from the heart! Oh,

FIRE AND VENGEANCE

(James Seals and Dash Crofts)
Outside it looks like vengeance
Outside it looks like fire
But inside it is mercy; inside it is love, love
Outside it is raining; outside it is cold
But inside love's explaining something to
your Soul.
Love, love - let me tell you about love,
When you got love
Everybody loves one another
And everything is alright, is alright
Today's a day for planning, a day for you and
me
The changes of tomorrow will surely set us
free
To love, love; let me hear you say love
It's alright; I want you to know
Wherever you go, the world is a classroom
Just to teach your soul all about love, love,
love.
Got to live, got to die
Got to give, got to try
Love, love; let me hear you say love
When you got love
Everybody loves one another
And everything is alright
Give me love, sweet love
I gotta have love, love, love, love
Just a little bit of love.

FIRST PLACE

Don't turn away, from His love depart.
You'll find happiness right from the start,

A FLAME WITHOUT SMOKE

(Harry Williams, Sheet Music in A New

Who gave us the flame that burns without
smoke?
Who gave us love and a life full of hope?
Who gave us wisdom to understand how to

In peace with our fellow man?
CHORUS:

Who furnished our needs without any cost?
Who promises shelter on land or sea?
Who will give us a place in eternity?

FLEXIBILITY

I take the unexpec`ted
As a challenge to go with the flow
CHORUS:
I'm flexible, I bend
I'm flexible, I grow
I'm flexible, I'm strong
I'm flexible, I let go
Of things I cannot change
I'm open to others' opinions
I don't insist on my own way
God helps me to make changes
And think of new ways to do things today

FLIGHT (TO DAVID FROM DAD)

(Red Grammer, Soul Man in a Techno
World)
The flutter of wings across my face
I feel the rush of time and space
I can't believe we've reached this place so
soon....
Flight you can feel the air building
Flight up under your wings
and the anticipation
Flight unavoidably brings
The sky is asking a question
Flight is the answer you give
So why are these tears in my eyes
as I watch you fly away?
We are the flowers of humanity.

Flight after years of preparation
you stand poised at the edge of
Flight seeking new elevation
up and away from your place on the ledge
the pieces have all come together
you're so steady, so ready to go
I am a red rose, sweet and lovely,

Gay as a bird on a bright summer day,
Singing the song of God, where'er I wander.

My color's golden, bright as sunshine

Gilding the ocean and the morning sky,
Soft as a summer mist, sweet in the valley.
Tears of joy, tears of pain

So much loss, so much to be gained
There's no easy way of letting go
Once it comes you can't say no
Flight is crazy and courageous
Flight is a beautiful thing
Flight is part of a natural progression
Flight is life unfolding it's wings
Flight is what you were made for
all that you are and I want you to be
I am a white rose, gleaming, shining,

Sparkling like snow on the mountainside,
Restless as whitecaps flung by the ocean's
breeze.
Brown is my color, rich and glowing,
Full of the warmth of God's sweet love,
Heir to all nations, grandeur my destiny.

CHORUS
Why are these tears in my eyes

FLYIN' BLIND
(Red Grammer & John Guth, Soul Man in a
Techno World)
I love you
FLOWERS OF THE GARDEN

(Mrs. Jerald Day)
CHORUS:
We are the flowers of God's garden,
Bright as the morning, fresh as the dawn.
Lovely in differences, varied in loveliness.
I am a black rose, dark, exotic,
Poignant in beauty, fragrant as the night.
God has entrusted me with joy and mystery.
My foot is on the pedal givin' it the juice

I could slow down and turn around but it's no
use
I can't ignore the pressure, pounding in my
brain
This little voice inside me driving me insane
Took my dream finally put it in flight
Might be a little bumpy I'm still getting it
right
CHORUS:
Flyin' blind. solo on a mission, relyin' on
total intuition
I don't mind working without a net if I can

leave this world free of regret
There comes a time in every life when you
say goodbye to caution
I don't need you tonight... flyin' blind
I use to be the safe one, feet upon the ground
I'd never get my hopes up, in case they let
me down
I'd hold back my emotions, never let'em start
Guess you could say I was careful with my
heart
Everything together, neatly in it's place
Now here I am this wild man, the wind on
my face
CHORUS
Whoa. I've been waiting a lifetime
Oh. for the right place, the right time to fly
My foot is on the pedal, pushing through the
floor
The brake is disconnected I don't need it
anymore
I'm whistlin' past the worry, drivin' down the
doubt
This miracle inside me, I'm gettin' it out
It's up to me now and whatever I do
Look out world I'm a comin' on through
CHORUS
FOR EVERYTHING THERE'S A SIGN

(D. Taylor, Sheet Music in A New Wind
Blowing)
Within the seed there is life.
Within the seed there is life,
There's life indeed within the seed
Within the seed there is life.
For ev'rything there's a sign,

The sign of God is love.
Within the coal there's a flame.
Within the coal there's a flame.
A Burning Flame the coal became.
For ev'ry cloud there's a sun.
For ev'ry cloud there's a sun.
There is a sun for ev'ryone.
For ev'ryone there's a time.
For ev'ryone there's a time.
There comes a time that hill to climb.
Within the heart true love grows.
Within the heart true love grows.
For true love grows and grows and grows.
FOREVER LIKE A ROSE

Crofts, Seals & Crofts Takin' It Easy/Lote
Tree)
Forever like the rose
I suppose that's the way to be
Fresh and ever growing
Always showing lots of beauty to the world
I know it's not an easy task
All I ask is that you try
Try for me, be like the flower
Within its hour of final glory
Open up and let the sunshine touch your
heart
And show the world what you can be
If you are free,
Free to grow free to grow
(BRIDGE)
The rose is worn above the heart

The symbol of its love is showing
Growing in the park
A secret for a lover's knowing
The centerpiece of life will always be
unfolding
Its cardinal petals for the dew of children's
tears
To grow a new rose
Oh, forever like the rose
I suppose that 's the way to live
Strong and ever giving
Always living with a purpose and a goal
To blossom day to day
Then someday to fade away
FORGIVENESS PRAYER
(Words by the Bb)
I beg Thee to forgive me, O my Lord,
For every mention but the mention of Thee,
And for every praise but the praise of Thee,
And for every delight but delight in Thy
nearness,
And for every pleasure but the pleasure of
communion with Thee,
And for every joy but the joy of Thy love
and of Thy good-pleasure,
And for all things pertaining unto me
Which bear no relationship unto Thee,
O Thou Who art the Lord of lords,
He Who provideth the means and unlocketh
the doors.
FORGOTTEN
The cell was like a kennel, they dropped him
like a dog
Staring at cold metal, in a blurred and
darkened fog
Plucked from his own work-place, innocent
of crime
Taken, shaken, in the late daylight
The prison was a chasm, wind was in the
yard
They took him out an hour each day, herded
by the guards
Shuffling over concrete, with the other
inmates there
Not allowed to speak in open air
And the iron bars, dark and hard, spiderwebbed, human cage
Especially when evening came, they drilled
into his brain
Left alone in shadow, not knowing noon
from night
Mealtimes infrequent, rudimentary slop
The cell was cramped, inhuman, with a
never-ending smell
He tried to pray, but every day, his thoughts
went to himself
I'm forgotten, I'm forsaken, I've been left
here on my own
I'm forgotten, I'm forsaken, left here to die
alone
Cut off from his family, cut off from his
friends
Where was Baha'u'llah, now he needed Him
Even Abdu'l-Baha, neglected where he was
He felt his consciousness slip down - to the
abyss
I'm forgotten, I'm forsaken, You have left me

on my own
I'm forgotten, my faith is shaken, left here to
die alone
Y 'Aliyu'l 'Al
[O Highest of the Most
High, O Exalted of the Most Supreme]
Y Bah'u'l-Abh [O Thou the Glory of
the Most Glorious]
In the yard a prisoner brushed against his

arm
No bigger than a finger-nail, something
squeezed between his palms
And in his cell when guards had gone, he
found it like a star
The torn-off photograph of Abdu'l-Baha
From Zanjn they rode, they rode

From Zanjn they rode, they rode
And words arose, in the Master's tone, stirred

up from long ago
Learnt by heart in a children's class, now
they echoed in his cell
"Do not think that ye are forgotten, for one
moment, do not think
Do not think that ye are forgotten, for one
moment, do not think "
CHORUS
And the iron bars, like candelabras, they

dissolved in a rosy gold
Angels soared within his soul, as the words
spoke to his heart
"Do not think that ye are forgotten, for one
moment, do not think
Do not think that ye are forgotten, for one
moment, do not think."
FORT TABARS
(Jeanne R. Murday, Unity in Diversity)
From Fort Tabars they rode, they rode
From Fort Tabars they rode.
CHORUS:
They raised the clarion call
Y Shibu'z-Zamn [O Lord of the Age]
Y Shibu'z-Zamn
To the Glory of God they raised the cry
CHORUS
From Nayrz they rode, they rode
From Nayrz they rode, they rode
Mount your steeds, O heroes of God

Mount your steeds, O men
And raise the clarion call
FOUNTAIN OF GENEROSITY
(Mildred McClellan, Sharing Circles Songs
for Kids)
Be a fountain,
Be a spring,
Be an ever-flowing thing.
Happiness will come to you.
CHORUS:
Search your heart every day.
Is there something you can give away?
Happiness should be your goal,
Give your heart
And give your soul.
God will always be with you. (Repeat 2)
CHORUS
FOUR KINGDOMS
(Nancy Ward, We Want to Grow Up)
Dirt, dirt, dirt
It lies around the world
It can't get up and chase you
When you run, when you run.
And if you ever wonder
What lies under the sidewalk:
Dirt, dirt, dirt.
Plants, plants, plants
Dirt is full of plants
Trees and grass and flowers and potatoes
(FAST) and tomatoes and rhubarb and
rutabagas
(FAST) and peas and dandelions and spinach
They can't get up and run
Because they all grow to the sun, sun
Plants, plants, plants

Some like egg fu yung
And some like macaroni and cheese

FRAGRANCES OF SUMMER
(Beverly Ruhe, Flight)
CHORUS:
Fragrances of summer fill the air.
Rainbow trout leap to the sky, slip back to
the sea.
Melodies of Bah'u'llh brighten the night.
Cocoons become butterflies as the dawn
breaks
From twilight, from twilight.
Gems hidden in your soul you find day by
day.
Dreams of forgotten time become reality.
Whippoorwills sing merrily to pine trees and
lilacs.
Bah'u'llh is the new Sun.
His radiance bathes our hearts in love, in
love.
I am but a tiny seed, sown in His Love
I am but a tiny bird singing of His Glory.
The Day of Unity has come. Wake up, my
brothers!
Bah'u'llh is the new Sun.
His Revelation unites mankind.
CHORUS

FREEDOM
Music Collection 1)
Free, where can I feel free
Like the wind gliding through the trees,
Like the bird soaring by the sea?
What's right for me?
Free, where can I feel free
To speak out if I disagree
Or to choose to live differently?
Where can I flee?
Freedom, a mournful sound
For so many it's never found
Where is the road to take
That's freedom bound?
Why, how I wonder why
The clouds can go sailing by
And the sun crosses o'er the sky?
They've gone, should I?
Why, how I wonder why
Greedy men think that I should die
It's their lives that are one great lie.
I sigh, I cry
Freedom, a mournful sound
For so many it's never found
Where is the road to take
That's freedom bound?
Fight, I must always fight
As a seed pushes toward the light
As a vine clings with all its might
Alone, I fight
Fight, I must always fight,
Til my child is not filled with fright
And she sleeps peacefully at night
Freedom's her right
Freedom, a joyful sound
Where laughter and song abound
Where eyes are filled with hope,

It's freedom found.
FREEDOM SKY
(Phil Lukas & Richard Monka, Sheet Music
in A New Wind Blowing)
CHORUS:
Mount your steeds, O heroes of man,
And ride toward the freedom sky.
Mount your steeds, O heroes of man,
And ride toward the freedom sky.
Freedom sky.
A million years or more have gone
Since man first listened to that freedom song.
CHORUS
Two thousand years and a great loud cry
That man ride faster toward that freedom
sky.
CHORUS
Sev'ral hundred years and a painful sigh
That man forget his journey t'ward that sky.
CHORUS
Now the radiant cent'ry of light is here,
The dawn of the freedom sky is very near.

FRIENDLINESS
CHORUS:
Friendliness is the best cure for loneliness
Friends can share everything

Sadness and happiness
Friendliness makes a stranger feel welcome
Look in their eyes and smile like the sun
CHORUS
I like myself, I know I can make new friends
I'm interested in others
I can be myself with them
CHORUS
Will you be my friend?
I'd like to get to know you
I'd like for you to know me too
CHORUS
FROM A DISTANCE
(Julie Gold, Bette Midler: Experience the
Divine Greatest Hits)
From a distance, the world looks blue and
green
And the snow-capped mountains, white
From a distance, the ocean meets the stream
And the eagle takes to flight
From a distance, there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man
From a distance, we all have enough
And no one is in need
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no
disease
No hungry mouths to feed
From a distance, we are instruments
Marching in a common band
Playing songs, of hope, playing songs of
peace
They're the songs of every man

God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
From a distance, you look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
What all this fighting is for
From a distance, there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
This is the song of every man
God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance

There was one Bah' who was searching
There were two Bah's and they prayed
There were three Bah's who went teaching
There were four Bah's who obeyed
There were five Bah's who were joyful
There were six Bah'ais who were kind
There were seven Bah's who were faithful
There were eight Bah's who were signs
When the ninth Bah' met their gazes,
They all raised voices in song
Soon their hearts were singing God's praises
and their unity was strong
FROM THE SWEET-SCENTED

STREAMS
(Words by Bah'u'llh)
From the sweet-scented streams of Thine
eternity
Give me to drink, O my God
And of the fruits of the tree of Thy Being
Enable to taste, O my Hope
From the crystal springs of Thy love
Suffer me to quaff, O my Glory of God
And beneath the shadow of Thine everlasting
providence, let me abide, O my Light.
FRUITS OF ONE TREE

(Greg Dahl, Sheet Music in A New Wind
Blowing)
CHORUS:
'Ye are all the fruits of one tree.'
Ye are all the waves of one sea.
The day has come when all men must live as
one.
Ye are all the flow'rs of one garden,
And the waves of one sea,
And the leaves of one tree.
In 1844 in the city of Shrz,
A new and wondrous message was sent
down from God.
A young Persian Man by the name of The
Bb
Proclaimed that the Promised One of all ages
was due to come.
The teachings of The Bb spread from man
to man
Across the whole of Persia and throughout
the land.
Jealous men of power arose on every hand,
And killed the Blessed Bb and more than
twenty thousand of His followers.
CHORUS
But then in 1863 a Bb of much fame
In the Garden of Ridvn, near Baghdad, did
proclaim
That He was the Promised One foretold by
The Bb,
And henceforth He was known as
Bah'u'llh,
The Glory of God.
CHORUS
Bah'u'llh was banished again and again,
By jealous leaders of religion and
government.
And yet there came forth boundless wisdom
from His mighty pen.
And words of guidance for an ailing world,
and the teaching of men.
CHORUS
His followers throughout the land were
known as Bah's
And for the Blessed Beauty they freely gave
their lives
The teachings of Bah'u'llh were spread
throughout the world
And now His Word is known, and the
Standard of His Cause unfurled.
CHORUS
FUND SONG
(Greg Dahl, Canta esa meloda/Sing this
Melody)
CHORUS:
Give a little penny or a nickel,
Give whatever you can afford,
Give a little something for Bah'u'llh,
Sacrifice for your Lord.
You want to build a new world order,

My friend, it takes bricks and clay,
It takes a little money to buy mortar,
You've got to sacrifice something today.
And combine each other's qualities and

merge all their virtues
Oh, we'll roll 'em all together and we'll really
have some fun
And celebrate our unity, all warmed by the
same sun.
CHORUS
It takes a little money to travel,
To spread the word of God to every town,
It takes a little money to buy pamphlets,
You've got to sacrifice all around.
CHORUS
Not everyone can do public speaking,
Appear on radio or TV,
But everyone can give a little something,
Even you and me.
CHORUS
Bah's in every town get together
Every nineteen days at the Feast.
That's a very good time to make a
contribution.
Give a penny at least.
CHORUS
GARDEN OF PARADISE
(Dale W. Ramsdell)
When the Muslim and the Jew can realize
that they're the same
That the only real difference is the sound of a
name
When the Christian and the Indian finally see
eye to eye
Then the trail of broken treaties will yield
peace by and by.
When the Buddhist and the Hindu can
embrace each other's views
For the Golden Rule is found in the east and

in the west
And if we just hang onto that,
then we'll all be at our best;
And the One Who has created us
will be proud of what He sees
And surely send His blessing
with a fragrance in the breeze.
There'll be smiles upon the faces
of the children and the old
And the wealth of happiness
will be worth more than gold.
We can put away our weapons and build a
bridge of love
For the future generations and the angels up
above.
Then the world will be at peace
and the nations will be one
And the scriptures all fulfilled
and the Prophets' work be done.
We can all live out our lives
in a way that's good and true
With no prejudice between us
to obscure our social views.
And the black and the white and the red and
the tan
Shall recognize each other in the fellowship
of man.
Then the dance of unity shall become
everyone's way
And the gift of love and friendship
be the order of the day.
For this world was surely meant to be
a place of growth and peace.
Together we can break the chains and all

obtain release.
Traditions of the past were appropriate in
their day,
But now the world is one
and they must not be in the way.
There is One Fold awaiting of which we all
are part,
Heralded by One Shepherd Who has given
us the start.
He is the One to guide us, for He is truly
wise.
He'll lead us, if we'll follow,
into the Garden of Paradise.
THE GARDEN OF RIDVN

(Words: Jeffrey Gruber, Music: Mildred
McClellan)
Our thirsty hearts are gladdened
In the vernal green of the garden.
Here abides the springtime of our spirit.
A fountain lends its freshness to the air.
Our eyes dance on the sea pines
Where spice and fragrances give wings to
our soul.
Our ears gather melodies
From the birds, from the birds.
GARDEN OF RIDVN
(Words: James Seals, Music: James Seals,
Jack Lenz & Kingsley Thurber, Oratorio,
Music of the Bah' World Congress)
SPOKEN:
O Bah'u'llh, where was the Spirit of God
leading?
Baghdad in its grief became the city of Your
love, O Exiled One:
Baghdad, glowing with the flame of Your
love, flowing with the tears of Your pain,
its waters burning.
Ferried across the river to the Ridvn

Garden,
as Prince of Glory You came,
moving majestically in the utmost joy,
the fragrance of roses greeted You
as nightingales sang:
Gathered now at the mystic hour
In the Garden of Ridvn
Circling round His blessed tent
And the nightingales sing
And the souls are on fire
As the Crimson Colored Ark set sail
In the presence of the Best Beloved of the
World
The fragrance of the roses strong
The friends are silent, struck with awe
As the Ancient of Days
Lifts a myriad veils of light
And the new creation sings with joy
World
Lord of Names ascends His throne
In the twelve days of Ridvn
Approach Him now and quaff your fill
Everlasting life from the hands of His grace
Bestowed upon all humankind
World
Behold the Blessed Beauty, riding on a red
roan,
He chose the wind-swept mountains, the
valley and the cave.
From a prison cell He rose up to recreate

mankind.
Ancient Ageless Beauty, a Beauty for all
times
Behold the Blessed Beauty, Ancient
Everlasting
From a prison cell He rose up to recreate
mankind.
Ancient Ageless Beauty, a Beauty for all
times.
Behold the Blessed Beauty.
GENTLE WARRIOR
(Words and music by Kate Wolf, Angela
Wood: Horizons)
Gentle warrior with your heart like gold
And a rainbow in your eyes
Brave companion, Do you see the world
shining in the skies
With your body dancing like an arrow
Spreading joy beneath your feet
And your hands that wave like tall grass
In the wind as you speak
With the shyness of a small child
And the wisdom of a sage
I tell you now, there's no reason to be afraid
Brother warriors there are none of us who
walk this path alone
Spirit healers, it's the only life we have ever
known
I see your smile in the sunlight
I hear your song in the rain
And I hold you here inside me
I feel your love, I know your pain
At this time when the world is waking, to the
dawn of another age
I tell you now there is no reason to be afraid
We are crying for a vision
That all living things can share
And those who care, are with us everywhere.
GENTLENESS
CHORUS:
Gentleness is moving wisely
Touching softly, holding carefully
Gentleness is speaking quietly
Thinking kindly and with love
We are sensitive creatures
And our feelings can be hurt
When we're gentle with each other
It brings peacefulness to the earth
CHORUS
Animals and people are
Safe around me
Because I practice gentleness
I take time out when
I'm upset or hurt
I learn to control myself

GETTING TO KNOW YOU

(Rodgers & Hammerstein, The King and I)
It's a very ancient saying,
But a true and honest thought,
That if you become a teacher,
By your pupils you'll be taught.
As a teacher, I've been learning
(You'll forgive me if I boast.)
And I've now become an expert
On the subject I like most,
(SPOKEN): Getting to know you
CHORUS:
Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you,
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.
Putting it my way, but nicely,
You are precisely
My cup of tea!
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say.
Haven't you noticed?
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.

Don't be ashamed of tears, of anger or of
fears.
For they're a part of you and you're alive.
CHORUS:
Climb mountains while you may and sing
your songs.
Start living every day, It won't be long
Before you turn around and wonder where
life's gone.
Go firmly through the night, but go in peace.
Know for yourself what's right, keep all your
goals in sight,
CHORUS
Walk bravely through each day, and go in
pride.
Show that you know the way in things you
do and say
CHORUS

My thought penetrates into your heart.

Who are always in God's thoughts
God is sufficient unto me.

In Him, let the trusting trust,

O, Bah'u'llh, what have they done?
You were confined in the darkest pit,
chained among thieves and assassins.
Your feet were placed in stocks
A chain encased Your neck.
Two rows of prisoners,
appareled in what You taught them to sing.
'God is sufficient unto me. He verily is the
All-Sufficing,' chanted the one.
'In Him let the trusting trust,' came in
the dungeon the eager reply.

GOING TO MY GARDEN
(Dave & Helene Van Manen, We Recycle)

Has melted all away

I take my rake and shovel,
And I work the ground so deep
As the earth is slowly waking
From its long winter's sleep
CHORUS:
I'm going to my garden,
Where the earthworm is the king
Ladybugs dance with me
While polebeans love to sing
I'm gonna' roll around in the compost,
Plant a seed or three
When this crazy world gets me down,
My garden sets me free
When all the seeds are planted,
And the summer rains are long
The earth is green, the sunshine is so strong
I gently tend my garden, where I love to
work and sing
And watch what happens to the seeds
I planted in the spring
CHORUS
When the frost is on the pumpkin,
Autumn chill is in the air
I harvest all my vegetables with care
For soon the snow will pile up high,
I'll snuggle in my den
Then as the winter melts away,
I'll start it all again

The night is gone, the day's begun.
I'm certain while I work and play
That God will help me through the day.
GOOD NEIGHBORS
(Richard Grover, Canta esa meloda, Sing
this Melody)
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 ringer'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 has orange eyes
It hurts him when cries.
The good old days, the good old days

Where do they go and where do they come
from?
I say the good old days are yet to come.
Christ tells us in the Bible
If we don't watch we are liable
To miss Him, and you know till now
He is right
If we look at history
The Jews say it's a mystery
For He came like a thief
In the night
Where do they go and where do they come
from?
I say the good old days are yet to come.
CHORUS
When my neighbor wants to share
Joy and happiness everywhere
Even if he had purple hair
I wouldn't even care.
CHORUS
THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Awhile)
You know lately I've been thinking
This old world is slowly sinking
Into the depths of hell in many ways
If we look at our behavior
We really need a Savior
And the whole world is looking back
For the good old days.
GOOD THINGS HAPPEN ON

PURPOSE (PURPOSEFULNESS)
I am focused on what I'm doing

I am focused towards my goal
I concentrate my mind and effort
CHORUS:
Good things happen on purpose
I work toward my goal with purpose
With God's help I accomplish great things
Good things happen on purpose
I do things one at a time
I stay on track until I'm finished
I don't let myself get distracted
Or let my focus become diminished
CHORUS
GOT SOME TEACHING TO DO
GRANT ME PEACE!
You can't change the world

With the words of your mouth.
You have to live the life in the north and
south.
Live the life the whole day thru.
Oh, Lord, I've got some teaching to do.
When I'm sittin' in the car in the middle of a

jam
When I'm standin' in a line or an
overcrowded tram
When the airplane's havin' trouble and my
bags have gone ahead
I try to keep my cool and repeat these words
instead.
CHORUS:
Don't you call me, Lord, too soon!
Got to live the life in the East and West
So the world will see that the Faith is best.
Got to let the world know this Faith is true.
Live it in the swamps and where the birch
trees grow.
Live it in the hills and the valleys down
below.
Live it with the Christian, Moslem and Jew.
Live it in the valleys where the tall grass
grows.
Live it in the jungle where the elephant goes.
Live it right and live it true.
Live it by the waterfall, with its misty
shroud.
Live it in the farmlands that the hand of man
has plowed.
The masses are waiting the day and night
through.
CHORUS:
Grant me peace! Give me calmness at this
time of the day
Help all of the tension that's built up fade
away
Guide my search to the center to that
stillness within
Where I'm bathed in Your light and
refreshed once again.
When I'm mixin' with some people who are
rude and ego-ruled
When I listen to complainers or to those who
have been fooled
When I hear of cruel sufferings besetting
other men
I try to clear my head and repeat these words
again
CHORUS
When the deadlines at the office have me
pullin' out my hair
When the boss expects some magic or a
more creative flair
When I'm feeling' pulled apart by demands
upon my time
I try to take a breath and repeat this prayerful
rhyme
CHORUS
GREAT DAY
Bah'u'llh's getting us ready
For that Great Day.
For that Great Day.
For that Great Day.
Oh, Bah'u'llh, the Glory of God.
CHORUS:
Great Day, Great Day, Great Day, Great Day
The sun will shine on all mankind
Soon as my feet strike Zion.
Gonna' lay down my heavy burden.
Gonna' put on my robe of glory,
Shout to tell the story!
Soon as all the people get together
We're going to have a good time!
The Bb was the Gate to the Glory of God,
Who opened up the way.
'Abdu'l-Bah, the Perfect Example,
Shows us the way . . .
You and I and everybody
Can work and play . . .
GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

(Thomas O. Chisholm & William M. Runyan)
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they
fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be.
CHORUS:
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy
faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and
harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
CHORUS
Pardon for sin and peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to
guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for
tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
GREATEST LOVE OF ALL

(by Michael Masser and Linda Creed,
performed by Whitney Houston)
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the childrens laughter remind us of how
we used to be
Everybodys searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago never to walk in anyones
shadow
If I fail, If I succeed
At lest Ill live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They cant take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all

Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe
Growing up is hard to do
Mommy remembers that it was hard, too
But even though it's hard at times
Dad says you're trying and doing just fine
I decided
And if by chance, that special place
That youve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love.
(INSTRUMENTAL)
GROWING UP
(Jean Marks & Susan Engle, Loving Hands)
You're always changing your socks and
shoes
And what's even worse than that,
Once you get bigger, you cannot go back
CHORUS:
When will you tie your own shoes?
This growing up business just gives me the
blues
Every minute you learn something new
You know what's even worse by far,
Mommy won't let you play her guitar
When do you spell your own name?
When will these letters stop looking the
same?
CHORUS
Someday you will have a son
You'll show him that
Growing up can be fun
GUIDE OUR STEPS

Draw love's circle and include yourself.
Little by little, you get what you want, little

Lets rise up and honor that legacy,
Lets break through the dawn to our destiny.
The snows of winter cover seeds that have

been sown,
And it seems like the flowers will never
return,
Stay firm in your faith, push back the gloom.
For in this glorious Springtime, even deserts
will bloom.
Mans inhumanity must come to an end,
Our children are dying on account of our
sins,
Theres no time to waste, when will we
begin,
Gods promise is victory, the battle well
win.

and love for Thee is my companion.
Thy mercy to me is my healing and my
succor
in both this world and the world to come.
Thou, verily, art the All-Bountiful, the AllKnowing,
HEARKEN TO THE DELIGHTSOME

WORDS
Bah'u'llh, The Hidden Words, Persian #33
(Music by Tom Price, Songs of the Ancient
Beauty)
Hearken to the delightsome words
of My honeyed tongue,
Hearken to the delightsome words
of My honeyed tongue,
and quaff the stream of mystic holiness
from My sugar-shedding lips.
Sow the seeds of My divine wisdom
in the pure soil of thy heart,
and water them with the water of certitude,
that the hyacinths of My knowledge and
wisdom
may spring up fresh and green
in the sacred city of thy heart.
CHORUS
2. I see my father, worn and afraid
Burdened with bills yet to be paid
I see my mother, poor and alone
Trying to find the meaning of home.
HEDI'S SONG
This world it means nothing, and spirit is
everything
The whole world means nothing, and spirit is
everything
I can see you now, I can see you smile

I can see the gleam in your eye
Your lips curl up, entering the room, as you
say 'How are you? How are you?'
And this world it means nothing, and spirit is
everything
The whole world is nothing, and spirit is
everything
A gypsy from the east, with a longing in your
heart
The blue Pacific sea called your name
You turned your head, nodded what the
heck, on a Persian carpet came
And here you stayed
You taught us eloquently, you showed us
sweet mysteries
You charmed us, with your stories, and now
you've taken your leave
You knew something was happening, you
knew - something was happening
You knew something was happening here
You knew something was happening, you
knew - something was happening
You knew something was happening here
And now you've gone away, maybe you're
not far
Couldn't help it anyway, we look forward to,
sitting down with you
In another world or two - chewing on old
times
And this world it means nothing and spirit is
everything
The whole world is nothing and spirit is
everything
It's an ordinary day, with an ordinary sun
When He calls out your name - and it's your
time to come
It's an ordinary night, with an ordinary moon

When He turns out the light - and it's time to
return
It's an ordinary day, with an ordinary sun
When the long journey's done
When the race has been run
When the door is opened to come home
You've gone home
HELLO, HOW ARE YOU, COURTESY?

CHORUS:
Hello, how are you, Courtesy?
Courtesy, you make me feel good
Everyone's important when you're around
You bring respect to my neighborhood
Courtesy treats others with value
It asks instead of demands
Courtesy says ' please and thank you'
It welcomes others and shakes hands
CHORUS
HELPING HAND
(Tim Bush, Legacy - World Peace)
Long ago, we were helped one day
When God sent down the law
Moses showed the way to man
God's Light was here again
CHORUS:
Moses was a Prophet, my man
And He came to us with a helping hand
He told to man God's word for the day
It was up to us to choose a way
Later on the Light of God
Asked us all to love
Jesus taught us to forbear

To live with the dove
CHORUS
Jesus was a Prophet, my man
Then came world that the Prophet had
returned
And He brought to us His Book
Mohammed made a nation of men
When no one thought He could
CHORUS
Mohammed was a Prophet, my man
The Bb came forth to end an age
For a Greater One to come
But the clerics had Him hung and shot
So sure that they had won
CHORUS
The Bb was a Prophet, my man
Bah'u'llh, the Light of God
Fulfillment now has come
And the Message He brings in one of peace
That mankind must be one
Bah'u'llh was a Prophet, my man
And He came to us with a helping hand
He told to us God's word for today
Now it's up to us to choose a way

HERE'S A SONG I LIKE TO SING

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.
HIDDEN WORD
Based on Excerpts from Hidden Word,
Persian #11 by Bah'u'llh
(Music: Susan Engle, Come and Sing)
O Son of Dust! Blind thine eyes to all save
My beauty;
O Son of Dust! Stop thine eyes to all save
My word;
Empty thyself of all learning
save the knowledge of Me;
that with clear vision, an attentive ear
and a pure heart thou mayest
enter into the court of My holiness.
HIDDEN WORDS
Bah'u'llh, Arabic #9 and #33
(Music by D. K. Barbre, S. Gandomi & S.
King, Flight)
'O SON OF BEING! My love is My
stronghold; he that entereth therein is safe
and secure, and he that turneth away shall
surely stray and perish.
'O SON OF SPIRIT! With the joyful tidings

of light I hail thee: rejoice! To the court
of holiness I summon thee; abide therein
that thou mayest live in peace for
evermore.'
HIGH HOPES
(Words by Sammy Cahn, Music by James
Van Heusen, Fred Penner A House For Me)
The next time you're found
With your chin on the ground
There's a lot to be learned
Just look around.
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant can't
Move a rubber tree plant
But he's got high hopes,
He's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes
So anytime you're getting low
'Stead of letting go
Just remember that ant
Oops! There goes another rubber tree plant
Now once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram scram
He kept butting that dam
'Cause he had high hopes
He had high hopes
He had high apple pie in the sky hopes
So anytime you're feeling bad
'Stead of getting sad
Just remember that ram
Oops! There goes a billion kilowatt dam
A problem's just a toy balloon
They'll be bursting soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops! There goes another rubber tree
Oops! There goes a billion kilowatt

Oops! There goes another problem
Kur-plop Kurrr-plop!
HIS FIRST COUNSEL

Kids)
CHORUS:
Listen to the voice
That makes our hearts rejoice,
His first counsel is this:
Possess a pure heart,
A kindly heart,
A radiant heart.
Whisper pardon, ease the suff'ring on all the

earth,
Oh, use me, use me, Lord,
As Your eyes to see the need,
Your hands the poor to feed,
Your voice the truth to sing.
HIS WAY, MINE

(Bo Baker & Dick Baker)
God has a place for ev'ry planned creation,
A path for ev'ry star to go.
He drew the course for ev'ry river's journey,
Now I know He has a way for me.
CHORUS
The heart is a treasure,
A gift beyond measure,
A bounty from your Lord.
Protect it from the fire
Of worldly desire,
And freely let it soar.
HOLLOW REED
(Jim Seals & Dash Crofts, Seals & Crofts
Down Home)
HIS GENTLE LOOK

(Ragan Courtney & Buryl Red, Hello,
World!)
Make me as a hollow reed

That I may play and plant Thy seed.
Rascal's cause, it may be lit,
And have a needy vine in it
Make me as a root of stone
That when I play, Thy wind is blown
Rascals hide away my chill
And die away from sill to sill
Hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed,
hollow reed
His look, His gentle look, can carve a

mountain,
Bend a rainbow, ease the suff'ring on all the
earth,
His touch, His kindly touch, can rustle
treetops,
Scatter raindrops, ease the suff'ring on all the
earth,
His voice, His tender voice, can reach the
heavens,

That I may sing Your grace my seed.
Rascal's secret will be seen.
In its decay and sickening weed.
Make me as a groove can turn;
I will prove to him that yearn.
Rascal's lie is manifest;
He never could survive a test.
hollow reed
CHORUS

So I may give them what they need.
Rascal's reign will come to him,
And monarch's eyes will shine again.
Make me strong, for I am weak.
Give me words and I will speak.
Rascal's cheeks will burn with shame
When all of us know Your Name.

Holy Spirit, rain down on me.
I want to feel your presence around me.
Shower upon me Thy confirmations,
Through the spirit of faith bring
regeneration.
When Im down Your Spirit picks me up,
When Im low, You fill my empty cup.
You brought me joy, and You taught my
heart to sing
Changed a gnat into an eagle. A drop of
water into rivers and seas.
An atom into lights and suns. Holy Spirit
keep renewing me.
My back was burdened and broken by my
sin,
You came along and you gave me peace
within.
Restored my soul and you made my life
complete
Changed a gnat into an eagle. A drop of
water into rivers and seas.
An atom into lights and suns. Holy Spirit
keep renewing me.
HOORAY FOR THE WORLD

CHORUS:

Brothers, sisters, grammas and gramps
We got neighbors next door, kids down the

Everywhere we go we've got new friends to

CHORUS 2 TIMES
A HOUSE IS A HOUSE FOR ME

(Words: Mary Ann Hoberman/Music: Fred
Penner, A House For Me)
A hill is a house for an ant, an ant
A hive is a house for a bee
A hole is a house for a mole or a mouse
And a house is a house for me

A web is a house for a spider
A bird builds its nest in a tree
There is nothing so snug as a bug in a rug
The cookie jar's home to the cookies
The breadbox is home to the bread
My coat is a house for my body
My hat is a house for my head
How can I help?

Can I be of service?
Is there something useful I can do
To help you today?
I look and see
What's happening around me
I notice what is needed
And I do it cheerfully
CHORUS
Mosquitoes like mudholes or puddles

Whales need an ocean or sea
A fish or a snake can make do with a lake
But a house is a house for me
People need
All kinds of things
Like help with a big job
Or a friend listening
A glove is a house for a hand, a hand

A stocking's a house for a knee
A shoe or a boot is a house for a foot
CHORUS
And if you get started in thinking

I think you will find it is true
That the more that you think about houses
for things
The more things are houses to you
A book is a house for a story
A rose is a house for a smell
My head is a house for a secret
A secret I never will tell
A flower's at home in a garden
A donkey's at home in a stall
Each creature that's known
Has a house of its own
And the earth is a house for us all.
HOW CAN I HELP? (HELPFULNESS)

CHORUS:
I help myself By taking care of my body

When I feel helpless
I ask others to please help me
CHORUS.
HOW CAN I PRAISE GOD

(Wilford Johnson, Wildfire)
How can I praise God - Lord, who am I
He's more than words describe even if I try
But when I start to turn away
My heart wants to cry
God how can I praise You - Lord, who am I
Every way I turn I find that You've been
there
Through happiness and sorrow
I see You everywhere
If I try to tell the whole world
It's no more than a sigh
God, how can I praise You - who am I
How can I praise You - who am I
I am a grain of sand
Your love within me
It's something I can't earn and I can't buy
It rains on every man - oh, God, befriend me
How can I praise You - who am I
I see You in the morning
I see You in the night
I see You in the stars and in the noonday
bright
I see You in the creatures
And when I face the sky
God, how can I praise You - Lord who am I
God, how can I praise You - Lord who am I
HOW COME THE FAST (IS SO

SLOW?)
(Roger and Marie Gervais, Feast at My
House)
CHORUS:
How come the Fast is so slow?
I wonder wherever I go
The hours they crawl by
Today I might die
How come the Fast is so slow?
All is still dark as I crawl out of bed
Should I eat or should I pray instead?
I head for the kitchen,
Prayer book in hand
And open a big can of Spam! - Oh
CHORUS
Dear Mrs. Burke from across the street
Comes over with cookies and tea
Oh, you poor thing
You're looking so thin!
Surely, one cookie's no sin!
CHORUS
When the sun finally sets, I don't care

anymore
All the kids fed and dishes are done
My supper's stone cold and
Growing green mold
Let's save it for breakfast instead! - Whoa
CHORUS (2 times)
HOW LONG MUST WE WAIT

(Jana Cook)
How long, my Lord,
How long must we wait?
How long, my Lord, how long?
How long, my Lord,
How long must we wait?
How long, my Lord, how long?
Two thousand years ago, my Lord,
You sent your precious son
He told about a future time
When mankind would be one
And when the Gospel has been preached
In every land on earth
The world will be united
In a spiritual rebirth.
When Gentile times are over
Jerusalem will flower
And brotherhood will be reborn
Through His almighty power
When times are bad and men are sad
And mighty cities burn
When all these things have come to pass
He said He would return
Today we see it happening
And God has kept His word
Christ has returned - His Kingdom comes.
My brothers, have you heard?
No longer must we wait, my Lord.

No longer must we wait.
No longer must we wait, my Lord.
No longer must we wait.

Whether they be big or small
Then close your eyes, don't be surprised

know
And you can take them with you wherever
you go
Before you know it the whole world will be
A happy hummin' Hug Bug family

So just to make sure they all get a hug
She calls out her swarm of Hug Bugs
CHORUS

And they'll hug you when you're sad
They'll even forgive you when you've been
bad

Haven't you noticed the days
Somehow keep getting longer
And the spirit-voices whisper in us all

And a 'New Day' is dawning for us all
Alas here comes the 'Gardener'
He's come to till the flowers,
The draught of understanding,

To one who looks different, I smile and say
hello

So, if tragedy strikes, and misery moans,
Just look inside - you're never alone.
I am with you all, for always.
Oh, the sun is always shining,
And you'll be in, you'll be in,
You'll be in my heart, my heart.

I CANNOT SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE

(Words: Lee Tichenor, Music: Mozart -age
9)
I cannot speak your language,
And don't know what you said.
I really cannot see why we don't speak one
language
That ev'rybody speaks, that ev'rybody
understands.
It seems to me this is a very good idea.
And don't you also think it really makes
much sense
To learn one second language, besides our
native tongue?
For then we'd always know what each one
has to say,
And ev'ryone would understand.
I CAN'T SING VERY WELL

(Music & lyrics by Doris Kurzius)
I can't sing very well and I can't play very
well,
But I love Thee well. I love Thee well,
Beloved.
I can't speak very well and I can't teach very
well,
But I love Thee well. I love Thee well,
Beloved.
You say that all must give the message,
My knees are shaking when I try
Because You promise You will strengthen
me,
I dare to stand and say Bah'.
You turn a moth into an eagle,
A ray of light into a star,
A drop of dew into an ocean.
We only ask, and there You are.

As I give the best I have to give
Effort guided by noble purpose
CHORUS:
I choose excellence in all things
I think God for my gifts
In all things
When I start something new
I first make a plan
I dare to set noble goals
I don't try to do everything
With excellence I do things all the way
I never quit, I develop my gifts
And always accomplish something

I COULDNT KEEP IT TO MYSELF

CHORUS: You should have been there,
When Bahaullah saved my soul,
You should have been there,
When He put my name on the roll.
And then I started walking, I started talking,
I started singing, I started shouting out,
Oh, what Bahaullahs done for me!
I said I wasnt going to tell nobody,
but I couldnt keep it to myself.

I said I wasnt gonna go to Feast,

I DESIRE COMMUNION WITH THEE

Words: Bah'u'llh, Hidden Words, Persian
# 21 (Music: Graham Major, Songs of the
Ancient Beauty Vol.II)
O Moving form of dust! Form of dust!
I desire communion with thee,
but thou wouldst put no trust in Me.
The sword of thy rebellion hath felled the
tree of thy hope.
I desire communion, communion with thee.
The sword of thy rebellion hath felled the
tree of thy hope, thy hope, thy hope.
At all times I am near unto thee, at all times I
am near unto thee, but thou art ever far
from Me.
Imperishable glory I have chosen for thee,
Imperishable glory, glory, I have chosen for
thee,
yet boundless shame thou hast chosen for
thyself,
but thou wouldst put no trust in Me (trust in
Me).
Thou art ever far from Me, far from Me, far
from, from Me.
While there is yet time, return, and lose not
thy chance,
thy chance,
thy chance.
Return, return, while there is yet time.

I LOVED THY CREATION

Based on Hidden Words, Arabic #4, #11, #7
of Bah'u'llh (Music: Marion Wilcox)
I loved thy creation, hence I created thee.
Wherefore, do thou love Me,
that I may name thy name and fill thy soul
with the spirit (with the spirit) of life.
Thou art My lamp and My light is in thee.
Get thou from it thy radiance
and seek none other than Me.
If thou lovest Me, turn away from thyself;
and if thou seekest My pleasure, regard not
thine own;
that thou mayest die in Me
and I may eternally live in thee.
I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

(Annie S. Hawks & Robert Lowry)
I need Thee every hour, Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.

Temptations lose their power when Thou art
nigh.
I need Thee every hour; Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises in me fulfill.
CHORUS:
I need Thee, O I need Thee, every hour I
need Thee;
I NEED YOU EVERY HOUR

(Adapted by David Baker from I Need Thee
Every Hour by Annie S. Hawks & Robert
Lowry)
I need You ev'ry hour of ev'ry single day,
I need the strength and power You give me
when I pray.
And I need You, oh, I need you, ev'ry hour I
need You

Your own.
I need You ev'ry hour to stay close by my
side
I can't make it on my own so I need another
Guide.

I need You ev'ry hour in happiness or pain,
And I'm trusting in Your power in the
sunshine or the rain.

I SAY WHAT I MEAN (HONESTY)

I speak of love, of unity

In our hearts its there you see
CHORUS:
I say what I mean
I mean what I say
I am honest
I tell the truth
With kindness and tact
I am honest
The tree of unity grows so tall

With branches shading one and all
So rise my friend and take my hand
The time has come for us to stand
Stand up for unity, stand up for love
Stand up for the One above
I refuse to cheat, steal or lie

I don't try to fool anyone
I don't need to impress
I can be myself
I avoid deception
I TAKE CHARGE OF MYSELF (SELFDISCIPLINE)

CHORUS
My actions match my words
I am filled with integrity
When I make a mistake
I admit it
I'm sincere and trustworthy
CHORUS
I SPEAK ENGLISH
I speak English, Hans speaks Dutch.
We can't talk together much.
Everyone should learn one way
To say the things he wants to say.
I SPEAK OF YOU
I speak of you, I speak of me
I speak of people across the sea
I speak of us and so you see
That we all stand beneath the tree
CHORUS:
I take charge of myself
And bring order to my life
I use my time well and get things done
I take charge of myself
Self-discipline is self control
Feelings and thoughts will come and go
Self-discipline uses my head
To deal with my emotions
And choose what will be said
CHORUS
Self -discipline is self patrol
Moderation is my goal
I put limits on what I do
How much TV I watch
How many cookies too
CHORUS
Self-discipline is self control
Routines in my day
Make me feel whole
CHORUS
I TELL THE TRUTH

(TRUTHFULNESS)
CHORUS:
I tell the truth, I don't lie

Bonds of trust between you and me
I can be my true self, I'm valuable just as I
am
I don't need to exaggerate or
Make things up to impress them
CHORUS
When each one of us feels important inside
Loving and giving and glad we're alive
Oh, what a difference we'll make in each day
And all because someone decided to say . . .

And by the way, I've been meaning to say,
I think you're wonderful too.
I WANT TO BE HAPPY
(Unknown, Sharing Circles Songs for Kids)
CHORUS
I like my imagination, I make up great
fantasy
I don't mix it up with the facts
I know what is reality
CHORUS
I THINK YOU'RE WONDERFUL

CHORUS:
I think you're wonderful,
When somebody says that to me
I feel wonderful, as wonderful can be
It makes me want to say
The same thing to somebody new
And by the way, I've been meaning to say
I think you're wonderful too.
There is something you must know.

In this Faith we have to show,
We are men of deeds, not of words.
Our very life should show our Faith to friend
and foe.
CHORUS:
I want to be happy,
I want to be strong,
To be His servant
My whole life long.
So, I must obey the laws of God.
Yes, I must obey the laws of God.
There is something you must know.
In this world of pomp and show,
People are tired of empty speech.
They want to see you practice what you
teach.
CHORUS
If we practice this phrase in the most honest

way
And find something special in someone each
day
We'll lift up the world one heart at a time
It all starts by saying this one simple line
I WANT TO BE WITH HIM TODAY

(Jack Lenz, Sheet music by The Bah'
Songbook, Vol. 1)
The world turns and the world changes
But one thing does not change

Through all the years
One thing does not change
However you disguise it
This thing does not change
One thing
One thing still remains
CHORUS:
I want to be with Him today
I want to be with Him today
I want to be with Him, with Him today
But mankind, proud mankind
Dressed inb rief authority
Most ignorant of
What He's most assured
I look for opportunities to serve

I serve with enthusiasm, I work from my
heart
I want to make a difference in the world
I don't wait to be asked
When something needs to be done
I look for ways to help
I make a real contribution
CHORUS
God placed us here
To take care of each other
To take care of the earth
How can I make things better?
CHORUS
His glass essence

Like an angry ape
He plays such tricks
As makes the angels weep
An attitude of service
Creates love all around us
People feel cared for
Service creates happiness
CHORUS 2:
I want to have love today
I want to know peace today
I want to bring hope to the hopelss today
CHORUS
Why must we shed the blood of the Holy

Ones?
Why must we shed the blood of the Gentle
Ones?
Why must we sacrifice Their lives time and
again?
Is it fear? Is it fear of what we do not know?
I WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

CHORUS:
I want to make a difference in the world
I WANT TO SING
and Reindeer Milk)
I just want to sing for you,
I just want to sing for you.
Let the music lift your spirit high,
And feel the music warm your heart right
through.
CHORUS 2 TIMES:
I want you to sing with me,
I want you to sing with me.
Don't be shy - it's as easy as A-B-C.
So, let's all sing some 3-part harmony:
(IN 3 PARTS:)
I want to sing (I want to sing) [I want to

sing]
I want to sing (I want to sing) [I want to
sing]
So, lift your voices to the sky
Give your spirit wings to fly
This old world, it sure needs more harmony.
We're coming 'round again Now won't you sing along with me?
I want to sing, I want to sing.
I WANT YOU TO LISTEN

I WANT YOU TO LISTEN
To every word I say
Even if you're angry
I want you to stay
To hear the words I'm speaking
And say them back out loud
So you know what I'm feeling
And we can work it out
Then it's my turn to listen
To every word you say
And even if I'm angry
I promise I will stay
To hear the words you're speaking
And I say them back out loud
So I know what you're feeling
And we can work it out
Cause if we listen to each other
And hear the words that we are saying
Somehow something happens
To you and me, my friend
And we can start out fresh again
mmmmm
I WENT FOR A WALK

I went for a walk just the other day
It felt just like the month of May
I found myself just a whistlin' this here tune
The melody, it sure had a beat
As it found its way down into my feet
I skipped along into the month of June
(Yodels)
Now the sun was warm and the sky was blue
As I walked along the avenue
I felt so satisfied I just had to smile
I was accompanied by a gentle breeze
I heard some harmony comin' from the trees
I sang that tune for at least a country mile
(Yodels)
So if you're feelin' down and ya' got the
blues
Just reach for your old walkin' shoes
Put your cares just aside for just a little while
Don't worry about your destiny
Let your imagination set you free
Soon your frown will turn into a smile
(Yodels)
I WHISTLE A HAPPY TUNE

(Rodgers & Hammerstein, The King and I)
Whenever I feel afraid
I hold my head erect
And whistle a happy tune,
So noone will suspect I'm afraid.
While shivering in my shoes
I strike a careless pose
And whistle a happy tune,
And noone ever knows I'm afraid.
The result of this deception

Is very strange to tell
For when I fool the people I fear,
I fool myself as well!
I whistle a happy tune
And every single time
The happiness in the tune
Convinces me that I'm not afraid.
Make believe you're brave
And the trick will take you far.
You may be as brave
As you make believe you are.
(WHISTLE)
You may be as brave
As you make believe you are.
I WILL NOT GO FROM THEE

If I, like Abraham, through flames must go,
Or yet, like John, a bloodstained road must
run,
I will not go from Thee, O Lord,
I will not go from Thee.
If, Joseph-like, Thou'd cast me in a well,
Or shut me up with a prison cell,
Or make e'en as poor as Mary's Son,
I will not go from Thee, O lord,
But ever stand
My soul and body bowed to Thy command.
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING

I woke up this morning with my mind,
My mind, my mind, set on Bah'u'llh.
I woke up this morning with my mind,

Y Bah, Y Bah, Y Bah'u'l-Abh
I came to classes with my mind,
I came to classes with my mind,
I came to see friends with my mind,
I came to see friends with my mind,
I said my prayers with my mind,
I said my prayers with my mind,
I WOULD FLY
(Solomon Atkins, Flight)
Birds perched upon a tree,
Calling me to unity . . .
If I ever had the time, I would fly. I would
fly.
World crumbles beneath my feet,
Agony is all I see.
Broken-winged bird sings of love and peace,
Recalling how the world should be.

Strife and hate, the battle cry,
Men in war, they fight and die Fighting and suffering to make men free,
Is this the way to true liberty?

Brotherhood! - the cry is heard Bah'u'llh has sent His Word:

You must love and forget all hate;
Build a new world, there's no time to wait.

Birds perched upon a tree,
Singing out His melody:
The earth is one and you are one;
A joyous Day has just begun.
And we must find the time to fly.
And we must find the time to fly, time to fly.
Birds perched upon a tree . . . unity.
Birds perched upon a tree . . . unity.
Unity. Unity. Unity.
And we must find the time to fly.
I'D LIKE TO TEACH THE WORLD TO

SING
(David, Backer, Cook & Greenaway, as on
Kidsongs)
I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
That's the song I hear
Let the world sing today
A song of peace that echoes on
And never goes away
ILL FLY AWAY

Some glad morning when this life is oer, Ill

away.
When the shadows of this life have grown,
Ill fly away.
Like a bird from prison bars has flown, Ill
fly away.
CHORUS
Just a few more weary days and then, Ill fly
away.
To a land where joys shall never end, Ill fly
away.

I'M IN LOVE WITH A BIG BLUE

FROG
(Braunstein, The Muppet Show)
Well, I'm in love with a big blue frog.
A big blue frog loves me.
It's not as bad as it appears He's got glasses and he's six foot three.
He's not as bad as he appears He's got rhythm, and a Ph.D.
Well, I'm not worried about our kids.
I know they'll turn out neat.
They'll be great lookin' 'cause they'll have
my face,
Great swimmers 'cause they'll have his feet!
Well, I know we can make things work.
He's got good family sense.
His mother was a 'Phrog' from Philadelphia,
His daddy an enchanted prince!
The neighbors are against it and it's clear to
me;
And it's probably clear to you.
They think the value on their property will
go right
down
If the family next door is blue.
I've got it tattooed on my chest It spells P H R O G.
That's frog to me.
P H R O G.

You bring a smile to my heart and you make
me sing

I'VE NEVER BEEN THERE

Louhelen)
I saw Your Face in a passing dream.
Watching the seas flow through Your Hair,
And I've been there before,
Seeking the miracle of Your Love.
I was a thousands grips away from You
And I knew what I must do.
'Cause I've been there before
Balancing on a hidden scale.
My future's unforeseen,
These vices gripping me,
And what are they worth beyond the Gate.
And I've never been there before.
IF I HAD A HAMMER
(L. Hays and P. Seeger)
If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the
morning,
I'd hammer in the evening, all over the land.
I'd hammer out danger. I'd hammer out

warning.
I'd hammer out love between my brothers
and my sisters, all over the land.
If I had a bell, I'd ring it in the morning,
I'd ring it in the evening, all over the land.
I'd ring out danger. I'd ring out warning.
I'd ring out love between my brothers and
my sisters, all over the land.
If I had a song, I'd sing it in the morning,
I'd sing it in the evening, all over the land.
I'd sing out danger. I'd sing out warning.
I'd sing out love between my brothers and
my sisters, all over the land.
Well, I've got a hammer, and I've got a bell,
And I've got a song to sing all over the land.
It's the hammer of justice, it's the bell of
freedom.
It's the song about love between my brothers
and my sisters all over the land.
IF IT BE THY PLEASURE
Prayer by Bah'u'llh
If it be Thy pleasure,
make me to grow as a tender herb
in the meadows of Thy grace,
that the gentle winds of thy will may stir me
up
and bend me into conformity with Thy
pleasure,
in such wise that my movement and my
stillness
may be wholly directed by Thee.
IF WE EVER NEEDED LOVE

Praises)
With each passing moment, know that each

of life's offering's to be earned
If we knew
If we ever needed Love,

We need it now, right now;
And if we ever needed peace,
We need it now, right now.
Stop hating, and start anticipating,
Thinking 'bout love, peace and joy,
Joy to the world.
If we ever needed one world,
And if we ever needed one race,
Stop all this killing, and start living,
Living in love, peace, and joy,
Joy to the world.
If we knew at each turn, what each step

would bring
We would prize the soft whispers, of the
ones who would wish us only good
If we knew
If we ever needed one God,

And if we ever needed one Faith,
Stop deceiving, and start believing,
Believing in one God, one Faith, and one,
One Mankind.
Joy to the world, it's a new day;
And peace to the world, the Savior has come.
Joy, joy, joy to the world, it's a new day;
And peace to the world, the Savior has come.
Glory not in this,
That you love your country,
But glory in this,
That you love, love (love, love) Mankind!
IF WE KNEW
If we knew we would yearn, to do the best
we can
If we knew from the start how it was, we

would realise, that nothing is lost
And I believe we'd strive, whatever the cost,
and I believe
One by one, we'll come home, be together
One by one, we'll come home, where we'll
stay
There's a star in the dark waiting for us
There's a rose at the close of the day
If we knew what we'll learn, at the long
journey's end
We would make different choices, heed
different voices from those we do
If we knew
And if we knew when it's through, we'll stare
at the truth
It will all come before us, to haunt or reward
us - the things we do
If we knew
If we knew we're never alone
No matter where we are, or how far we go
There's always one who cares, who's near
every soul
If we only knew
One by one, we'll come home, be together
stay
IF YOU'RE HAPPY
One by one we'll come home, be together

stay
If you're happy and you know it,

clap your hands. (CLAP-CLAP)
Then you really ought to show it
IF YOU ONLY KNEW

(Doug Cameron & Jack Lenz, If You Only
Knew)
At this lonely place in time
Can you hear a voice crying deep inside
There's no place you can hide
When you're standing in the dust
And reaching for the sky
CHORUS:
If you only knew the Light that shines on
you
If you only knew the love that comes to you
If you only knew the things that you can do
If you only knew, if you only knew
Till you fall down on your knees
Praying for a love that will set you free
There's a world you'll never see
We are moving from a shadow
To the sunlight of a dream
CHORUS
Building a world, building a world full of
love
Filling the world, filling the world
Full of love, love
(INSTRUMENTAL)

stamp your feet. (STAMP-STAMP) . . .
snap your fingers. (SNAP-SNAP) . . .

IMAGINE A PEACEFUL WORLD

and Reindeer Milk)
CHORUS:
Imagine, imagine a world at peace.
Imagine a time when all wars will cease.
Imagine, imagine the world at peace.
Imagine a peaceful world.
Imagine, imagine how the world will be:
People loving you, people loving me.
Imagine, imagine how the world will be.
Some say that people are always gonna'
fight,
'They're always full of hate,
And they'll never see the light.'
But I say that people are gonna' learn another
way.
So let's sing about how it's gonna be some
day.
CHORUS
(INSTRUMENTAL)
So, listen up, children, you know, it won't be
long When you're no longer children
You'll be grown up, big and strong.
You will have the power
To make this world a better place
You can change the whole human race.
Imagine, imagine how the world will be:
People loving you, people loving me.
Imagine, imagine how the world will be.

IN JAPAN/ NEW ERA SCHOOL SONG)

(Richard Grover, Canta esa meloda/Sing
this Melody)
CHORUS:
In Japan, Afghanistan, Peru and Zanzibar,
With bongos and marimbas, banjos and
guitar,
People are singing, haven't you heard?
A new day is dawning, we have brand new
words.
The world is but one country, we're learning
this today,
And all mankind its citizens, these words
will show the way,
For all of us to fully learn our talents and

worth
So we can build a new world order, here on
earth.
We have all been likened to leaves upon one
tree,
Flowers in one garden, waves upon one sea,
Brilliant shining stars, radiant candles, rays
of light,
Birds singing in the garden day and night.
Make the nations one, let religions all agree.
Be occupied with service to all humanity.
Nothing less than unity can satisfy our
minds,
So tell the world about the oneness of
mankind.
CHORUS
The Generous, the Glorious

Verily, Thou art my God
IN THE GARDEN
(Jean White Marks, Come and Sing)
Won't you come to the garden?
We all sing in the garden.
It's there where our hearts blossom.
Love is so sweet.
We grow like roses wherever we reach;
In the garden, yes, in the garden.
Won't you help make the garden
A wonderful place to be?
It's where we sow seeds of love in our hearts.
There's so many flowers so precious and
beautiful;
IN PRAISE
IN THE GARDEN
Music Collection 1)
Verily, Thou art the All-Sufficing
Verily, Thou art the All-Knowing,
The Powerful, the Merciful
Verily, Thou art the Most Exalted
Verily, Thou art the Most Mighty
The Counselor, the Pardoner
Verily, Thou art the Ever-Forgiving
Verily, Thou art the All-Loving
The Bountiful, the Gentle
Verily, Thou art Unifier
Verily, Thou art the Source of Grace
I come to the garden alone, while the dew is

still on the roses,
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear, The
Son of God discloses.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice is so
sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that he gave to me, within
my heart is ringing.
Id stay in the garden with Him, though the
night around me be falling,
But He bids me go, Through the voice of
woe His voice to me is calling.
CHORUS:
And He walks with me, and He talks with
me, and He tells me I am His own;
and the joy we share as we tarry there, none

other has ever known.
IN THE GARDEN OF RIDVN

(Jim Seals & Jim Poggensee, Lote Tree)
I used to see Him, rapt in meditation
Walking on the banks of the Tigris
In the streets and cafes of Baghdad
Talking with the friends, who gathered there.
I followed Him to the Garden
Where His mission was declared
I wept as the souls gathered around Him
As I listened to His prayers
CHORUS:
Bah'u'llh, Most Great Name
Bah'u'llh, We'll all proclaim
Bah'u'llh, Most Great Light
Bah'u'llh, You gave Your life for me
Constantinople, Adrianople,
then 'Akk, Israel by the sea
To these prisons they banished
Bah'u'llh, fulfilling prophecies
Homeless pilgrims tired and hungry
I watch them set out 'cross the sand
I too walked all the way from Persia
To get a glimpse of His hand.
CHORUS

And turn the mirrors of our hearts
Continually to the sun.
CHORUS
IT IS NO SECRET
IT TAKES TWO TO MAKE ONE

(Gary Rosen, Rosenshontz Tickles You)
The chimes of time ring out the news,

another day is through,
Someone slipped and fell, was that someone
you,
You may have longed for added strength,
your courage to renew,
But do not be disheartened, for I have news
for you.
It is no secret what God can do,
What hes done for others, Hell do for you,
With arms wide open Hell pardon you,
For it is no secret what God can do.
IT TAKES THE RAIN

It takes the rain to make rainbows.
It takes the rain to make things grow.
It takes the rain to make things glow again.
It takes the rain to bring the spring.
It takes the rain to wash the dust
And sing this song, as sing we must
And we sing:
A cat has kittens, a cow has a calf

A goat has kids who can make you laugh.
A dog has puppies, a sheep has a lamb
A pig has piglets who can turn into ham.
CHORUS:
It takes two to make one
And one and one make three.
Oh, what a wonderful world
And mom and dad had me.
A horse has a foal, a chicken has chicks
A deer has a fawn who is old at six.
A goose has a gosling, a bear has a cub
A duck has a duckling to splash in your
rubby tub tub tub tub
CHORUS
We all start small and begin to see
That life goes round and round for all
eternity.
CHORUS 2 TIMES
It's raining, it's pouring,

The old man is snoring
He bumped his head and he went to bed
And he couldn't get up till morning
It takes the rain, it takes the rain
It takes the rain to make rainbows.
It takes the rain to make things grow.
It takes the rain to make things glow again.
It takes the rain to bring the spring.
It takes the rain to wash the dust
And sing this song, as sing we must
And we sing
It takes the rain, it takes the rain
IT'S A SMALL WORLD

(Richard M. Sherman and Robert B.
Sherman)
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 that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all.
CHORUS:
It's a small world after all
It's gonna be all right...

There is just one world and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone.
Though the mountains divide,
And the oceans are wide,
It's a small world after all.
CHORUS
IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT

(Eric Dozier, Van Gilmer, Red Grammer,
Soul Man in a Techno World)
I know this old world has got you down
Come on and hold your head up high
You know you can leave all your fears
behind
Cause it's gonna be all right
Sometimes it is hard when you're feeling low
And you are having sleepless nights
You may not believe it but take it from me
that
It's gonna be all right
Love's the answer
You're heart knows the way
If you lay your troubles down
You will see a brighter day
So if you can stop now and take some time
To show your love with all your might
You may be surprised to find that
It's gonna be all right
Love's the answer
It's in the plan
You can let go of running the show
He's still got the whole world in His hands
So if you can stop now and take some time
To show your love with all your might
You may be surprised to find that
IT'S SO SIMPLE
(Jim Valley)
Kittens prancing and butterflies dancing
And I'm glancing at the sun.
Birds singing and I'm grinning and
And I've only just begun.
It's so simple. La la
Like a children's song to sing,
It's so simple.
To love one and ev'rything.
Winds blowin' and rivers flowin;
And I'm goin' back to my home.
Underneath the trees with all the birds and
bees,
Won't you now just look and see.
It's so simple. La la
Like a children's song to sing,
It's so simple.
To love one and ev'rything.

JONATHAN
Jonathan, you are a little boy
But you're growing in that good Light
Like a wildflower in the meadow
Reaching for the sunlight.
O Lord he sees and he holds your hand.
O Lord he sees and he holds your hand.
Sarah, she is a little brook
Running in that good Light
And Aaron, he sits so quiet
Till it's his turn.
CHORUS:
And the prayer goes up,
And the hearts are one,
And the souls are free,
And the joy is running on.
O Lord, he sees and he holds your hand.
A thousand children I can see at once
Standing in His good Light
When I look into the eyes of this little one
Burning like a candlelight.

JOSEPH SONG
(by David Hunt)
We drove in that afternoon, it was a whole
new place to be,
Our eyes filled with wonder at all the new
faces to see.
A couple of introductions and already youve
made a friend,
The first moments may pass you by but the
memories never end.
Chorus:
Dont say good-bye as Im just passing
through,
Just remember this, that no matter what you
do,
Theres a piece of my heart with you.
It just takes a minute or two to feel the power
of unity,
Just a couple of days and we are all one
family.
The experiences Ive had will last a lifetime
long,
The memories string together like the notes
in a nightingales song.

JUSTICE IS THE WAY

CHORUS:
Justice is the way
To make a brighter day,
When people are in need.
Justice is the light,
A light thats shining bright.
Shining through good deeds.
How often have we heard that Abdul-Bah
Shared everything He had.
He was content with less and led a simple
life,
So others would be glad.
That's when we listen to the Master

Forget about self and world today
That's when we listen to the Master's
Words of encouragement. He would say:
CHORUS:
Kam kam, ruz beh ruz
Little by little, day by day
Kam kam, ruz beh ruz
Little by little day by day
So come on now, let's be happy
Pray those troubles all away
When hearts are filled with praise and
gratitude
There will be time enough, He would say.
That's whey we listen to the Master
Patiently he showed us the way
That's why we list to the Master's
Words of encouragement every day

Feed the birds upon the tree
Catch a mouse and set it free

Thats kindness, kindness
You gotta show that you care
Show that you care
Kindness is to share Oh Oh Oh
Even though you are three
Though you are three
Kindness starts with me.
Theres a new kid at your school
But everybody is acting cool
Theyre in the playground all alone
Make a friend and invite them home.

I look for ways to help others

To show kindness to everyone I see
When I reach out to another
I become sensitive
To the world around me

THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT

If thou hast in thine heart one desire for thy
life,
Come not thou hither.
If thou hast in thine heart one desire for thy
life
Come not thou hither.

But if thou art prepared
To sacrifice heart, and soul, and life,
Come and bring others.
But if thou art prepared
Come, bring others, come.
Such is the path,
If thou desireth to enter the Kingdom of
Light.
Such is the path,
If thou desireth to enter the Kingdom of
Light.
And if thou art prepared
Come and bring others.
And if thou art prepared
Come, bring others, come.
KINGDOMS OF GOD
(Merinell Rhine)
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,
For it's only a rock
In the sand by the side of the sea.
It's in the mineral kingdom,
The mineral kingdom of God.
It's in the mineral kingdom of God.
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,
But it can't move or know.
Though it be the best tree you have seen.
It's in the vegetable kingdom,
The vegetable kingdom.
The vegetable kingdom of God.
The vegetable kingdom of God.
Oh, Lord, kumbaya.

I'll sing you a frog, and a cat and a dog,
And I'll sing you an elephant, too.
They can grow; they can see;
They can walk, they can be;
But they're not quite as special as you.
They're in the animal kingdom,
The animal kingdom,
The animal kingdom of God.
The animal kingdom of God.
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,
The human kingdom,
The human kingdom of God.
The human kingdom of God.
I'll sing you a song that will help you along,
So you'll always remember God's love.
He wants us to know Him;
To love Him and so
He sends Teachers of Truth from above.
They're in the Heavenly Kingdom,
The Heavenly Kingdom,
The Heavenly Kingdom of God.
The Heavenly Kingdom of God.

LAST NIGHT I HAD THE STRANGEST

DREAM
(Ed McCurdy)
CHORUS:
Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd ever dreamed before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
And the room was full of men

And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again.
And when the paper was all signed,
And a million copies made,
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful prayers were prayed.
If there is a load you have to bear

That you cant carry
Im right up the road, Ill share your load
If you just call me.
CHORUS
And the people in the streets below

Were dancing 'round and 'round,
While swords and guns and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground.
You just call on me brother, when you need

a hand
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that youd
understand,
CHORUS
CHORUS
LEAN ON ME
(Billy Withers, Lean on Me)
Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we
all have sorrow.
But if we are wise, we know that theres
always tomorrow.
Please swallow your pride, if I have a thing
you need to borrow.
For no one can fill those other needs that you
mention.
CHORUS:
Lean on me, when youre not strong,
Ill be your friend, Ill help you carry on,
For, it wont be long til Im gonna need
Somebody to lean on.
You just call on me brother, when you need
a hand
I just might have a problem that youd
understand,
LEND A HAND
Music Collection 1)
CHORUS:
Would you lend a hand to your fellow man
And bring some peace to the world?
Would you follow God's universal plan
To bring some peace to the world?
Do not argue, do not fight
Do not gossip, do not backbite
You don't always have to be right
Let's bring some peace to the world
CHORUS
There's more than just one point of view
When you listen to them and they listen to
you
You'll reach agreement in all you do
You'll bring some peace to the world
CHORUS
CHORUS
Solve a problem so you both will win
Regardless of the color of your skin

Treat each one as though he were your twin
And bring some peace to the world
CHORUS
Now my song is done, It is time for fun
Let's spread the word - Mankind is one
Let people know that the time has come
To bring some peace to the world
To bring some peace to the world
Let's bring some peace to the world
LET IT BE THIS GENERATION

(Jack Lenz and Doug Cameron, Let It Be
This Generation, Sheet music in The Bah'
Songbook, vol.1)
Early one morning
Love will come calling
Early one morning
Love will find you
Still as the dawning
Without any warning
Love will find you, Love will find you
LESS OF ME
(Glen Campbell)
Let me be a little kinder, let me be a little
blinder
To the faults of those around me; Let me
praise a little more.
Let me dream when I am weary, just a little
bit more cheery
Think a little more of others and a little less
of me.
Let me be a little braver when temptation
bids me waver.
Let me strive a little harder to be all that I
should be.
Let me be a little meeker with a brother that
is weaker.
Let me think more of my neighbor and a
little less of me.
Let me dream when I am weary, just a little
bit more cheery.
Let me serve a little better those that I am
striving for.
Let me be a little meeker with a brother that
is weaker.
Think a little more of others and a little less
of me.
Early one morning

Love will come calling
Early one morning
He whispers your name
Deep from your dream
Comes a vision fleeting
Soul of the world
Is crying for love
Dying for love
Let it be
CHORUS:
Let it be this generation to bring peace bring
it to the world
Let it be this generation to bring peace
Look out your window
You'll see it coming
Look out your window
The light of a brand new day
Sun climbs up higher
Your heart turns to fire
Soul of the world
Is crying for love
Dying for love
Let it be
CHORUS:
REPEAT ALL
This is your destiny

Born in the world
Bring peace to the world
Let it be
CHORUS (2 times)
LET ME BE A LAMP
(Mrs. Jerald Day)
Let me be a lamp, O Lord,
To show mankind the Way.
Let me shine my light, O Lord,
Through ev'ry precious day.
Let me fill the world with light,
And love will mark the Way.
All through life to serve, O God,
Through ev'ry precious day.
LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH

(Sy Miller & Jill Jackson)
Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin
with me.
Let there be peace on earth, the peace that
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 ev'ry 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.
LET US ALL PRAY

(Dave Van Manen, Wage Peace)
The evening news lady, she just said
goodnight
After football, and weather, and war.
The home team got beat,
There'll be snow in the street,
And the same bloody stories 'bout war.
CHORUS:
Let us all pray, let us all pray,
Let us all pray for peace.
Let us all pray that we'll soon see the day;
Let us all pray for peace.
The morning newspaper says the arms race
goes on,
Nuclear bombs piling high;
As the starving fade away,
We're spending millions each day.
Enough to make this grown man cry.
Let us all sing, let us all sing,
Let us all sing for peace.
Let us all sing, let our harmonies ring;
Let us all sing for peace.
I can hear the sweet sounds of my children at
play,
Reminds me that God still has hopes.
For the world to survive
We must realize
That we're dangling at the end of our rope.
Let us join hands, let us join hands,
Let us join hands for peace.
Let us join hands, let's do what we can;
Let us join hands for peace.
So open your heart,

That's where peace must start;
And share your sweet fears with a friend.
Like candles, we will glow.
In this dark night we will grow.
'Round a whole world of peace we will say:
Let us join hearts, let us join hearts,
Let us join hearts for peace.
Let us join hearts, let's do our part;
Let us join hearts for peace.
CHORUS
LET'S GET TOGETHER

(Chet Powers, Performed by Youngbloods)
Love is but a song we sing
Fear's the way we die,
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry,
Tho' the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why.
CHORUS:
C'mon people now, smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together,
Try to love one another right now.
Some will come and some will go
And we shall surely pass
When the One Who left us here returns for
us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight fading in the
grass
it's there at your command.

CHORUS
LET'S GO FLY A KITE

(Richard M. Sherman & Robert B. Sherman,
Mary Poppins)
With tuppence for paper and strings
You can have your own set of wings;
With your feet on the ground you're a bird in
flight.
With your fist holding tight to the string of
your kite.
Oh! let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere,
Up where the air is clear.
Oh, let's go fly a kite!
LET'S THINK OF ALL THE GIRLS

AND BOYS
Let's think of all the girls and boys
Who haven't many clothes or toys
And ask our God to take good care
Of little children everywhere.
CHORUS
LET'S TRY PEACE FOR AWHILE

Awhile)
If you hear the song I sing, you will

understand
You hold the key to love and fear
in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both,
I dedicate this song to all the world's

religions
And to all the leaders everywhere
Let's stop making wars and make each other
happy
Let's beat them swords into plowshares

CHORUS:
And let's try peace for awhile
Love each other and share a smile
Life may be better than it's been before
And if our change of attitude
Don't make the world improve
We can always go back to making war
Lord knows we have enough weapons of
destruction
To wipe out all the people in every land
Any fool can start a war
That's not what I'm lookin' for
I say the time for peace is now at hand
CHORUS
Where do we go from here Must we always live in fear
Of where the screaming missiles will come
from
This world can't take much more
So if you have to go to war
Let's take a vote and see who wants to come
CHORUS
LETTER TO BAHYYIH
(Music: Gregory Shaw)
These days shall pass away,
And we'll forget our cares.
Day and night you live in my memory.
Let sorrow and despair not becloud serenity.
Easy not the lot of those who see the Beauty.
But a comfort in your grief I will be
eternally.
These days shall pass away.

Sister, joy abide inside your heart.
A LIFE OF HONOR

What is a life of honor?
It is a life of integrity, it is a life of
righteousness.

morality,
To read from the Word, to pray from the
heart,
To read from the Word of Bahaullah.
It is a life of sincerity, it is a life of honesty,
To study the Faith, to pray from the heart,
To study the Faith of Bahaullah.
It is a life of probity, it is a life of piety,
To follow the Law, to pray from the heart,
To follow the Law of Bahaullah.
It is a life of uprightness, it is a life of
respectfulness,
To teach this great Cause, to pray from the
heart,
To teach this great Cause of Bahaullah.
To pray from the heart, to read from the
Word,
To study the Faith, to follow the Law,
To teach this great Cause,
To live in the love of Bahaullah.
LIFT UP YOUR HEADS

(Adapted from traditional gospel by Eric T.
Dozier)
Lift up your heads, o ye gates
And be ye lifted up
Ye everlasting doors
And the King of Glory shall come in
Who is the King of Glory
Bah'u'llh
He is the Lord God
Strong and Mighty
The Lord God Mighty in Battle
You need to lift Him up
And give Him praise
Yes!
Lift Him higher
Lift Him higher
Lift Him higher
Lift Him, yes!
LIFT UP YOUR HEARTS

Louhelen)
Lift up your hearts. Turn towards your Lord.
Circle 'round in adoration. Sing out His
love.
Moses the Leader, Jesus the Christ.
Mohammad and the Bb, Bah'u'llh
He said, 'I've seen the Light, and the Light is

Bah',
For the Glory of God is in the world.'
Yes, I've seen the Light and it's from
Bah'u'llh.
His Banner of Peace is unfurled.
Three wise men saw a star in the distance
very far
And they traveled 'til a Babe they did behold.
And Jesus was His name, and they said He
healed the lame.
But He died upon a cross on Calvary.
Bah',
Yes, I've seen the Light and it's from
Bah'u'llh.
God sent His Messengers for you and I.
In the deserts of the east there arose an awful
Beast,
But a Prophet named Muhammad did appear.
And He told everyone, 'Allh is the Only
One'
and He slew that awful Beast with a spear.
Bah',
With just a little faith you can see it if you
try,
The new name of God's children is Bah'.
THE LIGHT IS BAH'

(Dale Ramsdell)
THE LIGHT OF GOD
A long time ago a Man named Abraham
Told His people there would be a Promised
Land.
And Moses came along,
And you know He led 'em there.
He told old Pharaoh to beware.
The Light of God surrounds me.

The Love of God enfolds me
The Power of God protects me.
The Presence of God watches over me.
Wherever I am, God is. Wherever I am, God

is.
LIGHT ON MY HORIZON
(Angela Wood, Horizons)
CHORUS:
There's a light on my horizon
And it's looking down at me
But it seemed that what lay in between
Was the devil and the deep blue sea
You're on your own, the light's for you to
reach it as you may
Don't panic, keep your eyes ahead, just take
it day by day
There seemed no cord to hold me, and it
seemed there never was
Just get out there, you're on your own, your
troubles are all yours
You have this hat that fits you and it covers
up your eyes
It covers up your ears as well, so you cannot
hear the cries. But
CHORUS
There's been empty days behind me, looked
like more empty days to come
They were always there, two steps away, no
matter how fast I ran
Some days I turned to face them, just so
you'd hear me shout
But they always seemed to know I was too
tired to kick them out
CHORUS
LIGHT SONG
Based on Excerpts from Bah'u'llh,
including Hidden Words, Arabic #11
'Thou art My lamp and My light is in thee.'
Turn not your face away from the light.
Hide not yourself in the prison of darkness.
Come unto Me.
Open your heart to the light that I send you.
Reflect that light to all who you meet.
Show them the love that I've sent for your
freedom,
The light of the world to be.
CHORUS:
Lamp, bright light, radiance, light to set you
free
Lamp, bright light, radiance, of the world to
be
Lamp, bright light, radiance, light to set you
free
Lamp, bright light, radiance, of the world to
be
All of the Prophets have carried one
message:
Love one another and all live as one
Nations, religions and rulers shall perish
Until God's will is done
CHORUS

The dust is your treasure - the things
That you're holding onto, and though you

With all your might, it's bound to slip away.

To hold onto you.

Wipe the dust out of your eyes.

Dimmed by battles' smoky veils,

Yet above it all is shining,
Radiant Light for all to share.
LONG FOR THY GOOD PLEASURE

Love only what Thou lovest
Walking in Thy ways.
Wish only what Thou wishest
Thy pleasure my delight,
Potent art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee
Praiseworthy in Thy sight.
LOOK AT ME, FOLLOW ME

(Jackie Elliott and Tom Price. Lift Up Your
Voices and Sing, Music of the Bah' World

You must die to the world and so be born
again
And enter to the Kingdom of Heaven
Look at me, follow me, be as a I am,
CHORUS
May we long for Thy good pleasure
Utter only praise.
May we follow only pathways
Which Thou alone hast laid.
So that all created beings
May remain within the bounds,
The bounds of Thy good pleasure,
The Kingdom of God.

And know that till the end I'm always with
you
Look at me, follow me, be as I am,
Love mankind, follow me, be as I am,

Where you can grow and love is free

Misunderstanding what we should hold dear
We live in misconceptions of that old time
religion
And don't know who to love or who to fear
CHORUS:
Lord, turn me loose on the world
Let me love everybody
Let me live and love
Till all the hurting's through
Give me freedom in this life
Make me glad for what I've got
Let everything I do be up to You
You know our moments on this earth are so
precious And when our secret thoughts
find that spirit - wow!
What day in the future do you look for
The only moment promised is right now
CHORUS
Have you thought of what you'd do at your
final second
If God said, 'No more time for you allowed'
If this very moment was your only precious
jewel
Have you wondered what you might be
doing now
CHORUS
We can change the world if we all work
together
We need to work for love and unity
We're people of one planet. God put us here
together
Let me love my brother more than he loves

me
Let me share the love my God has given me
CHORUS
THE LORD'S MY SHEPHERD

Based on Psalm 23, attributed to David,
Scottish Psalter, Old Testament
(Early American melody)
The Lord's my Shepherd - I'll not want;
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.
My soul He doth restore again,
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en for His Own Name's sake.
Yes, tho' I walk thru death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill,
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on

earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day
our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our
debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver
us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen

Stop once, twice, look again tell me now do
you see what I see
Love is atomic Love is atomic
Holding everything in place, electrons,
protons in their dance
Ruling inner and outer space, lifetimes
passing in a glance
In the brush of a solar wind, in the hush of
understanding
I let go and begin to hear the world at its
command sing
Love is atomic, autonomic, like the
breathing of a new born baby
It's symphonic, how ironic the only
holdouts are you and me
Love is atomic, Love is atomic
Wouldn't it be very nice

If we could live not once, but twice,
And learn from the mistakes that we have
made?
But that, my friend, is not the case,
So let's not let it go to waste
High above the mountain stream, low

beneath the ground we walk on
Far beyond our wildest dreams, closer than
the inmost heartsong
In the smile of a dearest friend, in the glare

of an enemy
Stop once, twice, look again tell me now do
you see what I see
You can sing how you're ready to face life

and live,
But you know as the days go by
That no matter how hard you try,
CHORUS
Love is atomic, autonomic, like the

breathing of a new born baby
It's symphonic, how ironic the only
holdouts are you and me
Love is atomic Love is atomic Love is
atomic Love is atomic
LOVE IS LIGHT
(Based on the words of 'Abdu'l-Bah;
Music by Leah Barber & Joy Billington)
Love, love, love is light No matter in what abode it dwelleth.
Hate, hate, hate is darkness No matter where it may make its nest.
LOVE IS SURRENDER
(Ralph Carmichael, Tell It Like It Is)
Talk about love, how it makes life complete
You can talk all you want, make it sound
nice and sweet,
But the words have an empty ring,
And they don't really mean a thing,
CHORUS:
Without Him love is not to be found, not to
be found;
For love is surrender, love is surrender to His
will.
Love is surrender to His will.
Love is surrender to His will.
Sing about love and the strength it can give
Shout about love and the wars will all end

You can shout we're all brothers and even
pretend
But you can't cover up the past,
Just pretending 'll never last
CHORUS
LOVE IS THE KEY

Based on Excerpts from Bah' Writings,
including Hidden Words, Arabic #5,
Hello, friend, How ya doin'
Hope you don't mind if I sit down by your
side
Why's your head to the ground
Is it all because you don't have a dime
You know it's all just a matter of time
Yes, it's all just a matter of time
Look around and what do you see
Somehow it doesn't seem quite right to me
There's something missin' in the air
Can't you see, are all you all aware
Peace for the children
Thank God they still have a subtle hand
Peace for my father and mother
For playin' their part in the master plan
Peace for you, brother and sisters,
For spreadin' the word throughout the land
Peace for Abraham Who established the
oneness of God
Peace for Moses, the One Who gave us the
law
Peace for Christ, the Son of untold love

Peace for Muhammad, He gave us the call to
nationhood
Peace for the Bb, He opened the door to a
New Age
Peace for Bah'u'llh, the oneness of
mankind is His claim
'All praised be to God, the Lord of all beings'
Love is the key to your heart
Sets you free
'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.'
'Love gives life to the lifeless.
Love lights a flame in the heart that is cold.
Love brings hope to the hopeless and
gladdens the hearts of the sorrowful.'
'In the world of existence there is indeed
no greater power than the power of love.'

And shelter your best dreams.
Dreams are when the angels sing to you!

And I know that too many things
Have stood in our way
But now we are carrying
A child to gild our day!
LOVING HANDS
LOYALTY KEEPS SAFE MY HEART

(INTRODUCTION)
I stand by what I believe in

I listen closely to my heart
I'm careful and choose wisely
Loyalty keeps safe my heart
Mother's hands, so soft and smooth

Here to touch and here to soothe
Rock me, sway me, through the storm
In mother's hands I'm safe and warm.
Father's hands, so big and strong
And his fingers, oh so long
Lead me, guide me, catch me, quick
A loving hand, it's' yours I'll pick.
Loving Hands mean loving hearts
Strength and wisdom they impart
Now I trust these hands to be
Kind and good to me.
When I'm grown, I'll have Loving Hands.
Mother's 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 Father's hands I fly so high
I feel like I could touch the sky.
And when he's firm, these hands, they speak.
I realize I'm small and meek.

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

LULLABY
CHORUS:
Open your eyes. Open your eyes.
The stars are all glowing.
The moon's on the rise.
If neighbors weren't sleeping,
they'd all see the light from the homes of

Waking up in the wee early hours of the day
to gather together, to sing and to pray.
So open your eyes now, my little Bah',
the Holy Day hour is nigh.
CHORUS
Now quietly, softly, we'll walk down the
stairs.
We'll welcome the friends as we gather for

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

(Mimi McClellan)
Mister Magician, what can you do?
Make a rabbit come out of your shoe?
Make a banana fly in the air?
Pick a rosebud out of your hair?
Mister Magician, you are smart.
But can you warm a freezing heart
Or can you make the fearful bold?
Heal the sick and cheer the Old?
The answer, dears, is No, Siree!
Magic is for fun, you see.
For a miracle, don't call a magician.
Call instead the Divine Physician!
MAGIC PENNY
(Music & lyrics by Melvina Reynolds)
CHORUS:
Love is something if you give it away,
Give it away, give it away,
You end up having more!
Love is like a magic penny -
Hold it tight and you won't have any,

Lend it, spend it, and you'll have so many,
They'll roll all over the floor, for . . .
CHORUS
So let's go dancing' til the break of day,
And if there's a piper, we can pay,
For love is something if you give it away,
You end up having more.
MAGIC PENNY (HAPPINESS)

Happiness is something if you give it away
Give it away, give it away
Happiness is something if you give it away
It comes right back to you
CHORUS:
It's just like a magic penny
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
A smile is something if you give it away
CHORUS
Love is something if you give it away
Love is something if you give it away
MAID OF HEAVEN
Words revealed by Bah'u'llh
(Music: Graham Major, Songs of the Ancient
Beauty - Vol. II, Music of the Bah' World
Congress)
SPOKEN:
O Bah'u'llh, what has God done?
In the stench-filled gloom You turned Your
face
and beheld a Maiden suspended in the air,
Her finger pointed to Your head.
New creation rejoiced in Your soul,
O Prisoner in chains.
Through You the Maiden addressed us:
'By God! This is the Best Beloved of the
worlds'.
'By God! This is the Best Beloved of the
worlds,
and yet ye comprehend not.
This is the Beauty of God amongst you,
and the Power of His sovereignty,'
'His sovereignty within you,'
'could ye but understand.'
'could ye but understand.
This is the Mystery of God and His
Treasure, the Cause of God
and His glory' (Ah-ah -ah . . .)
'unto all who are in the Kingdoms'
. . . .'the Kingdoms of Revelation
and of creation, if ye be of them that
perceive.'
To guidance come
Come ye for harmony
To behold the Star of Day
Come ye for kindliness for ease
Come ye for amity and peace
Come and cast down your weapons of wrath
'Til unity is won
Come and in the Lord's true path
MAKE ME A HOLLOW REED

Based on Bah' Scriptures
(Music: Mary Davis, Wings of Prayer)
O God, Make me a hollow reed
from which the pith of self hath been blown
that I may become a clear channel
through which Thy love may fall onto others.
MAKE ME A SERVANT OF BAH

(Joan Millar Lincoln, Sheet music in The
Bah' Songbook, Vol. 1)
CHORUS:
Living every day, asking as I pray
Please make me a servant of Bah
Walking in Thy path, thirsty for Thy water
Please make me a servant of Bah
Make me a child of God, merciful sign
Nestling 'neat the wings of Thy protection
Brilliant star, radiant lamp, refresh my
drooping soul
MAKE HASTE

Make haste to love

Make haste to trust
Make haste to give
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace

Where there is injury let me sow pardon
Where there is doubt, let me sow Faith
MAKE ME AN INSTRUMENT OF
YOUR PEACE
It is in giving that we receive,

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
It is in dying that we are born
And we are born to eternal life
MAKE ME FEARLESS
(Words and music by Rose McCoy)
CHORUS:
Make me fearless, like a jungle lion,
Like a roaring ocean, like an eagle in flight.
Make me fearless, like Mulla Husayn,
Like Tahirih, like Abdul-Baha.
So many times I wonder what I can do
The Cause has so many goals to be won
Wonder how I can help.
But Bahaullah tells me that I am special
When I turn to the light of Baha
I can be like a shining star.
Make me bright, I don't want to be dull.

Make me strong, I don't want to be a copycat.
Make me share, I don't want to be selfish.
Make me more like you.
Oh, 'Abdu'l-Bah,
You're everything I want to be
You've opened up my eyes to see
That this is how the world should be.
Help me grow, I don't want to stay small.
Help me learn, I don't want to live in
ignorance.
Help me love, I don't want to be hateful.
Help me live like you.
Help me laugh, I don't want to be sad.
Help me work, I don't want to be a lazybones.
Help me pray, I don't want my heart empty.
Help me be like you.
CHORUS
Abdul-Baha was never afraid to be
different
Never afraid to be strong and kind
Never afraid to love.
And Abdul-Baha was always a source of
comfort,
Always a joy to the hearts of the friends
Always ready to serve.
CHORUS:
Oh, 'Abdu'l-Bah,
You're everything I want to be
You opened up my eyes to see
(INSTRUMENTAL)

Many other children in their special way
Are asking God to help them to be useful

MAN FROM THE PROMISED LAND
MAKE THIS YOUTH RADIANT

Based on prayer by 'Abdu'l-Bah
Let me tell you a story,

About a Man from the promised land,
How He came in all His Glory,
Let me take you by the hand,
Tell you of His life and times,
It will make your spirits soar,
To hear how He brought to all mankind
What the world's been waiting for.
As I said, He came to us from a place
Called the promised land,
And this Child was so full of knowledge,
That no one could understand.
As He grew He came to spend His time
among the poor
Healing and feeding them, saying, 'Hunger
no more!'
O Lord! Make this youth radiant,

and confer Thy bounty upon this poor
creature.
Bestow upon him knowledge,
grant him added strength at the break of
every morn and guard him within the
shelter of Thy protection so that he may be
freed from error,
may devote himself to the service of thy
Cause,
may guide the wayward, lead the hapless,
CHORUS:
And they called Him Abraham.
Some called Him Zoroaster.
Then there was Krishna, Moses, and
Buddha, too.
Many knew Him as Jesus the Christ,
Mohammad or The Bb,
But today, they call Him Bah'u'llh,
The Glory of God
Well, His Words were full of wisdom,
And His eyes, they were full of light.
Many boys and girls today

Worship God in work and play
I will try my best to be
Just what God expects of me.
CHORUS
And He offered mankind a daytime

That never turned to night.
A few were found who recognized
This very, very special Man.
But, by most, He was scorned and ridiculed,
And He was tortured at the peoples' hands.
CHORUS
He came to man at different times,
In different places, with different names.
Each time He brought a message
That was pretty much the same.
He spoke of love and brotherhood,
Peace and justice and unity.
And each time before He left He said,
I shall return to humanity.
CHORUS
And they'll call Me Abraham.
Some may call Me Zoroaster.
Or maybe Krishna, Moses, or Buddha, too.
They may know Me as Jesus the Christ,
Mohammad or The Bb,
But today, they call Me Bah'u'llh, the
Glory of God.
Yes, today they call Him Bah'u'llh, the
Glory of God.
A MAN OF PERSIA
(Joel Caverly, Sheet Music in A New Wind
Blowing)
There was once a Man of Persia
Who proclaimed the Promised Day,
He went forth to teach the people,
All who'd hear along the way.
But His life was full of pain,
Freezing cold, prison gloom.
Still His Word spread far and wide,
Cheering hearts. Ah . . .
O that holy Man of Persia
Hailed by all the Faiths of old,

Brought the Kingdom of the Father,
Circling all into one fold. Mmm
Mmm . . mmm..
Out across the endless ages came
The Voice that led us on,
Guiding man along the pathway
Toward the distant breaking dawn.
Now the promised time foretold,
Days of peace, days of love,
Shines in glory in the
Springtime come at last.
All the blinding veils have parted
And God's Plan has been revealed,
All His people have been gather'd,
All His Books have been unsealed
Forevermore, evermore
Evermore. Ah . . .
MAN WHO STANDS IN THE SHADOW

World)
A gentle hand is guiding me
Hoping I will finally see it's true
This part of who I am
Underneath all the words that I say
And beyond all the things that I do
This part of me I don't know... The man
who stands in the shadow
Why is it that he does not speak
What is the promise that he seeks to gain
A promise to believe
In the promptings that come from my heart
Without this there is nowhere to start
Without this I will never know... the man
who stands in the shadow
Why does it have to be
So hard to find
How all of the pieces fit
And make them mine

In every moment there's a choice
If I want to keep this voice alive
This singing in my soul
Got to risk everything that I am
Do it over and over again
Stand up for my right to know
The man who stands in the shadow
Facing the man, embracing the man who
stands in the shadow
hath been set ablaze with the fire of Thy

Cause,
and many a slumberer hath been wakened
by the sweetness of Thy voice.
How many are the strangers who have
sought shelter beneath the shadow of the
tree of Thy oneness,
and how numerous the thirsty ones who have
panted after the fountain of Thy living
waters in Thy days!
CHORUS:
Mankind is one.
The earth is one country.
Ye are the leaves of one branch,
The fruits of one tree.
Mankind is one.
The earth is one country.
Ye are the leaves of one branch,
The fruits of one tree.
Blessed is he that hath set himself towards

Thee, and hasted to attain the Dayspring of
the lights of Thy face.
Blessed is he who with all his affections hath
turned
to the Dawning-Place of Thy Revelation and
the Fountainhead of Thine inspiration.
Blessed is he that hath expended in Thy path
what Thou didst bestow upon him through
Thy bounty and favor.
Blessed is he who in his sore longing after
Thee,
hath cast away all else except Thyself.
Blessed is he who hath enjoyed
intimate communion with Thee, and
rid himself of all attachment to anyone save
Thee.
Set your faces toward unity.

Let the radiance of His light
Shine upon you.
Gather ye together,
And for the sake of God
Root out contention amongst you.
I beseech Thee, O my Lord, by Him Who is

thy Name, Who, through the power of Thy
sovereignty and might,
hath risen above the horizon of His prison,
to ordain for everyone what becometh Thee
and beseemeth Thine exaltation.
CHORUS
Thy might, in truth, is equal to all things.
MANKIND IS ONE
Based on words of Bah'u'llh

MASTER DESIGNER
(Kurt Kaiser, Tell It Like It Is)
Cotton candy clouds, so fluffy and white,
Who put you there in a sky of deep blue?
Or do you just happen to float along,
Pretty and white in a sky so blue,
so blue, sky so blue?
Tall mountain, deep valley, fast river, cool
stream,
Show grandeur and majesty in some grand

scheme
All of these wonders that we behold,
Are only apart it cannot be told, be told,
cannot be told.
Master Designer, Whoever You are,
All of this beauty both near and afar
Can't just have happened, the odds are too
great,
There must be a plan, we're not left to fate,
to fate, not left to fate.
All of this beauty is far too convincing
Master Designer, Your word must be true,
Of all Your creations man is the dearest
Help me to simply believe now in You,
in You, Believe in You.
MATADOR
(Gordi Munro, Steve Farrel, Unity in
Diversity)
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Despair is coming to an end
He has come again and the sword of glory
has been thrust
No need to hesitate, let us cheer on with the
crowd
There was once a time when the bulls were
running free
Through blatant city streets which knew no
harmony
Then came the Matador inspired by our need
Dressed in swords from Heaven, His purpose
to bring peace
CHORUS:
Make me one, make me wonder
Make me wonder, make me one
The Matador keeps on trying
And the crowd cheers on for more
The bulls are slowly dying

Pierced by spirit swords. La la la la . . .
Sword of righteousness pierced the bull of
greed
Sword of eternity bring us liberty
Come thou, the sword of love, pierce the bull
of hate
These swords of discipline, humanity is
made
Your wings will unfold.

Meadowlark, in the dark,
Singing your heart out for love.
Soon your song will touch the sky,
And twisting, turning, way up high
Your wings will open, you will fly.
You will fly, you will fly, you will fly away.
CHORUS
MEET ME AT THE TEMPLE

(Mimi McClellan)
As He thrust the final sword, the crowd

begins to rise
The courage of the Matador keeps their
hearts alive
Dressed in His swords of truth and fire in His
eyes
The crowd anticipating knows the beast will
surely die
Meet me at the Temple, early in the morning,

We will walk among the flowers in the
fragrant air
And pray and sing together in that Lofty
tabernacle,
Praising God and asking Him to hear our
prayer.
CHORUS
MEADOWLARK
Singing your heart out on a limb;
Lost in a windy night,
Waiting for light,
Longing for a flight.
Singing your heart out for no one,
Waiting for the break of day.
And when it comes,
You'll fly away.
But here you linger, here you'll stay
'Til you fly away.
Just like the ways of man.
Dreams still untold,
Meet me at the Temple, late in the evening,

When the birds are in their nests, sleeping
through the night.
We'll walk around the Temple, drinking in
the beauty
And asking God to help us make the world
all right.
MERCY IS A BLESSING (MERCY)

I will leave you never
You have all My love eternally.

me

A MESSAGE FOR MAN

Music Collection 1)
Winds may come and bring the snow that
chills your lives
Clouds may block the sun and hide it from
your eyes
But in spite of darkness deep or bitter cold,
I cannot be lost - I am an inner glow
When you really need Me,
Nothing will impede Me
I'll be there for you each time you're low
Other people may profess a friendship true
Promises of love mall be made to you
Everyone may swear undying loyalty
'Til the moment comes when you are most in
need
I will stand beside you
Offering to guide you
If you turn My way, you will be freed!
All the hurt and pain of past events will fade
All the wrong decisions for which you have
paid
Will lose their importance if you cling to Me
Just forget yourself and you will start to see
Turn to Me in trouble,
Loneliness or peril

MIDNIGHT PRAYER
Prayer by 'Abdu'l-Bah (Gary Sterling, Rose
Garden)
Spoken:
O seeker of Truth! If thou desirest that God
may open thine eye, thou must supplicate
unto God, pray to and commune with Him
at midnight, saying:
O Lord, I have turned my face unto Thy
kingdom of oneness and am immersed in
the sea of Thy mercy.
O Lord, enlighten my sight by beholding
Thy lights in this dark night, and make me
happy by the wine of Thy love in this
wonderful age.
O Lord, make me hear Thy call, and open
before my face the doors of Thy heaven,
so that I may see the light of Thy glory and
become attracted to Thy beauty.
Verily, Thou art the Giver, the Generous, the
Merciful, the Forgiving.
The Forgiving, the Forgiving, the Forgiving,
The Forgiving, the Forgiving, the Forgiving,
The Forgiving, the Forgiving.
Millions of stars placed in the sky by one

God
Millions of people lift up their eyes to one
God
2x:
So many children call unto Him by many a
different name
One Father, loving each the same
So many ways all of us pray to one God
So many paths winding their way to one God
Walk with me brother, there are no strangers
Now that His work is done
For your God,
And my God,
Are one.

MODERATION KEEPS ME IN
BALANCE
Moderation keeps me in balance
I learn m own limits
What is just right for me
With wisdom and self-discipline
I get just what I need
I get enough food, I get enough sleep
I don't go overboard or in too deep
Not too little, and not too much
I'm content with just enough
MONA
(Doug Cameron*, If You Only Knew)

I'm not blown about
By the winds of my desires
Moderation keeps me from
Letting things rule my life
I study enough, I play enough
I work enough, I rest enough
Not too little, and not too much
I'm content with just enough
MODESTY
CHORUS:
I am modest
I am worthy
I don't need to brag or boast
I am modest
I am worthy
Actions speak the most
I have a sense of self respect
I'm comfortable being me
I set boundaries fo rmyself
For my body and my privacy
CHORUS
I accept praise graciously
I'm happy to be recognized
I share credit, where credit is due
To those I work beside
CHORUS
She was tired in her heart

The whole world was falling apart
She said, This is where I've got to be
Waiting in the night
A dream full of light
And when they asked her what price would
she pay
She said, Take my life, take it all away
And when they asked her what more could
she say
She said, break my heart. you know that I'll
come back some day
CHORUS:
Mona with the children
Send your love to me
And all along the line
We'll go dancing
Mona with the children
Send your love to me
And every precious moment
We'll be dancing
Every precious moment we'll be free
She was smiling in her heart
Her whole world was falling apart
She said, The is where I've got to be
Dancing in the night
A dream full of light
And when they asked her what price would
she pay
She said, Take my life, take it all away
And when they asked her what more could
she say
She said, break my heart. you know that I'll
come back some day
Back some day

MONA WITH THE CHILDREN

(Doug Cameron, Video: Mona With the
Children, Sheet music in The Bah'
Songbook, Vol. 1)
Sixteen year old girl
Living in a land so cruel
She said, 'This is where I've got to be'
Taken in the night
Her heart full of light
How can I tell you?
How can she be
So young to know
The truth in all her dreams
To stand before them
To hear them say
'Save your life and throw your faith away'?
CHORUS:
Mona with the children, send your love to
me
And all around the world, we'll go dancing
Mona with the children, send your love to
me
And every precious moment, we'll be
dancing
Every precious moment we'll be free
I can see her in my heart
The whole world is falling apart
Taken in the night
With a love that burns so bright

And when they asked her
What could she say?
She said, 'You can't break my heart,
You cant take my faith away'
MONDAY AFTERNOON
Monday afternoon, the 2nd day of June
The radio is tuned and pretty soon
I'll be coming through. Monday afternoon,
On the 2nd day of June, all alone.
Never been so all alone, so far away from
home.
I'm really on my own, no telephone
To talk to you; Monday afternoon,
On the 2nd day of June on the moon.
Late last night into the eastern sky
There rose a carnival below;
They tell me that's my home,
Yet I could not find my room.
Do they know, can machines be made to
show
Them that their man upon the moon
Only longs to be back home reading in his
room?
I used to choose the dark, the lonely reaches
of space.
Now I only choose to reach a hand,
To touch your face again.
Tuesday afternoon won't come a day too
soon.
Rocket engine's tuned, pretty soon
I'll be home with you. I'm lining up the stars
Just to get back where you are, on Mars.
THE MONSTER SONG

(Danny Deardorff, Tickle Tune Typhoon
Circle Around)
And when the mail-lady came to get the mail

All the kids hollered, . . . 'No No No' . . .
But she laughed . . . . She said:
There was a great big hairy, scary ugly ol'

monster
And he lived at the end of the street
He had toes all over his face
And he had eyeballs down on his feet
CHORUS
Well he could see right where he was goin'

pretty good
But he couldn't see very far
So one day he stepped off of the sidewalk
Right in front of a moving car
Well, the driver hit the brakes too late
And he knocked that monster down
There was a bunch of kids playin' in the
neighborhood
So they came and they gathered 'round
Well, the crowd caught the eye of a doctor
passin' by
So he came to see what was the buzz
And all the kids hollered, . . . .'Don't go near
him' . . . 'He's a monster'
But the doctor laughed because . . . he said:
CHORUS:
It doesn't matter what you look like
It doesn't matter from where you came
It doesn't matter if you're different
I'm gonna help you just the same
Well the monster was okay, so he went on
his way
To his house at the end of the street
He wrote a letter to his mother
He held a paper and pen with his feet
Well the kids all watched as he took it to the
box
From the bushes across the road
Well, a tiger busted loose from the city zoo

And he went down to the neighborhood
He saw the kids all playin' ball in a vacant lot
And he licked his lips and said, . . .
'Ummmm boy' . . . . 'They look good'
Well, the tiger jumped in the air,
But the monster was there
And he jumped up and grabbed him
And he wrestled him down to the ground
First the tiger was on top
And then the monster was on top
And you couldn't tell what was happening at
all
'Till all of a sudden the monster started
singin' a song
And you know what . . . . It wasn't very long
Before the tiger fell asleep . . .
And the kids said
'Hey Mr. Monster we've been so mean to you
Now how come you saved our lives?'
And the monster said
'Well kids I know what you say is true,
And here is the reason why:'
CHORUS
THE MORE WE GET TOGETHER

(Traditional, as on A Young Children's
Concert with Raffi)
The more we get together, together, together
The more we get together, the happier we'll
be
'Cause your friends are my friends,
And my friends are your friends
The more we get together, the happier we'll

be
MORNING HAS BROKEN

(lyrics by Eleanor Farjeon, as sung by Cat
Stevens)
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the
Word
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dew fall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, Praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
MORNING PRAYER
Based on prayer by Bah'u'llh
(Music: Susan Engle, Come and Sing & We
are Bah's)
I have wakened in Thy shelter,
O my God, and it becometh him
that seeketh that shelter
to abide within the Sanctuary of Thy
protection
and the Stronghold of Thy (of Thy) defense.
Illumine my inner being,
O my Lord, with the splendors of
the Dayspring of Thy Revelation,
even as Thou didst illumine my outer being
with the morning light (ECHO)
of Thy favor. (ECHO)
(with the morning light) (ECHO)
(of Thy favor.) (ECHO)
MORNING SONG
Music Collection 1)
When I wake up in the morning and I open
my eyes
I stretch my muscles and I realize
I've got the whole day before me
I can make it be
full of sunny blue skies and sweet melodies,
sweet melodies
When I wake up in the morning and I say my
prayers
I get the feeling that someone cares
Someone's watching over me to see what I
do
Someone's there to lift me up if I feel blue
Someone's always there
So when I wake up in the morning, I am
unafraid
I've got my goals and my plans have been
made
I'm gonna spread some joy and plant some
seeds
I'm gonna make the world better with each
small deed
Now how about you?
MOST GREAT PEACE

(Based on the words of Bah'u'llh, The
Reggae Project)
'These great oppressions
that have befallen the world
Are preparing it for the advent of
The Most Great Justice'
'These fruitless strifes,
These ruinous wars, shall pass away...
and the Most Great Peace shall come.

MOUNT YOUR STEEDS
(Eddied Byrne, Sheet music in Bah'
Songbook, Vol. 1)
CHORUS:
Mount your steeds, oh heroes of God
Ride hard into the night
Don't stop until the break of day
Mount your steeds and ride!
There will be people waiting for you
Who you have never seen before
Go give them his message
Bestow His riches on the poor
When you ride beyond the stars
To where no mortal man has been
You can rejoice with happiness
As you realize your dream
CHORUS
Think of the early martyrs
And how they gave their lives so free
They were like moths going to a candle
Now it's up to you and me
We have no need of rest
Sleep will just no come
Your only reason for living
Is to see his will is done
MOUNT YOUR STEEDS

(Phil Lucas, Lift Up Your Voices and Sing,
Vol. 3)
CHORUS:
Heed not your weakness or your frailties
Fix your gaze on the Almighty
A hundred years have passed us by

Since the Blessed Beauty raised His cry
CHORUS
The veils of glory have been cast down
The Promised One has come now circle
round
CHORUS
MY HOUSE
Just Like Me?)
I live in a house, I live in a house
If you wanna get in or you wanna get out
That's what my front door's about
So come on now and follow me, into my
house
My house has windows so I can see
The sunshine come shinin' in on me
I can watch the birds singin' out on the tree
I look at them, they look back at me in my
house
And in my house, there's a kitchen
And in my kitchen there's a 'frigerator
The 'frigerator keeps my milk ice cold
When I wanna pour it on my Cheerios in the
morning
And in my house I have my room
And in my room, what do I see?
I see my bed, where I go to sleep in the
evening
And next to my bed is my dresser tall
And in my dresser I keep my clothes

I put on my clothes when I get up in the
morning
There's a record player, and it plays songs
Daddy puts the records on
Sometimes I like to dance along to the music
And there's a shelf for the books I like to
read
Sometimes Mommy reads 'em to me
Just before I go to sleep in the evenin'
And in my house there's a bathroom,
And in my bathroom there's a tub
Where I take my bath with a bar of soap
I rub that soap all over me
I wash my tummy and I wash my knees 'til
I'm all clean.
It sure is nice to have a place to go
When I play all day and I end up so tired
And I just wanna go to bed, YAWN in my
house.
MY LOVE IS MY STRONGHOLD
O Son of Being,
My love is My stronghold.
He that entereth therein
Is safe and secure,
And he that turneth away
Shall surely stray and perish.
O Son of Being,
He that entereth therein
Is safe and secure,
And he that turneth away
Shall surely stray and perish.
O Son of Being,
O Son Being,
MY LORD IS NEAR ME ALL THE

TIME
(Barbara Fowler Gaultney)
In the lightning flash across the sky
His mighty pow'r I see,
And I know if He can reign on high,
His light can shine on me.
CHORUS:
I've seen it in the lightning, heard it in the
thunder,
And felt it in the rain;
My Lord is near me all the time,
My Lord is near me all the time.
When the thunder shakes the mighty hills
And trembles ev'ry tree,
Then I know a God so great and strong
Can surely harbor me.
CHORUS
When refreshing showers cool the earth
And sweep across the sea,
Then His rainbow shines within my heart,
His nearness comforts me.
CHORUS
MY PLANET 'TIS OF THEE

There's a land that's calling me
With silver bells of liberty,
Where songs of peace are in the air,

And people dancing everywhere.
MY POCKETS
(Lysa A. Parker)
It's not far from here.

We can go right now.
All we have to do is care
And we'll get there somehow.
Once when I was feelin' low and nothin'

would go right,
Everyone seemed angry and lookin' for a
fight.
I took some time to be alone and look inside
myself.
Then I dug down in my pocket and this is
what I felt:
Don't you want to go?

Yes, I want to go.
Teach me how to find the way What magic words to say.
Now in this land there's only one
Family you could come from.
The 'human race' is what it's called
And they live in a house without any walls.
Black, red, yellow, tan or white,
Everyone has equal rights;
Man and woman, young and old,
Love is the rule, so I'm told.
I found hope in my pockets,

Lots of hope in my pockets.
I've got hope in my pockets
To let the sun shine in.
I found love in my pockets,
Lots of love in my pockets.
I've got love in my pockets
To put the world in a spin.
I found smiles in my pockets,
Lots of smiles in my pockets.
I've got smiles in my pockets
And it's gonna' be a great day.
CHORUS:
My planet 'tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing
Let freedom ring
Every night I have this dream
I keep on trying to find what it means.
I'm in a circle looking out,
Surrounded by circles all about.
First I see just me looking around,
Then my family and my town.
Next my state and the whole country'
And all on a planet with you and me.
I found songs in my pockets,

Lots of songs in my pockets.
I've got songs in my pockets
To make the whole world sing.
When you've got hope and you've got love
And you've got smiles and songs to sing,
You've got everything!
MYSTERY OF THE AGES

They got so tired of waiting

Until they forgot the time

NAW-RZ SONG
(Aline Cowan)
The revelation of the Mystery

Would be a shock to all mankind
Generations are looking out
For the signs
But these staggering facts
Gonna open up your eyes...
Men did their own analogies
Summing up with many answers
Men are so confused with the facts
They extend their fight
To the Heavenly Force
These things shall mark
The 'end of time'
Yet they are so blind they cannot see
For this is...

O'er the mountains, the valleys and the

Let your song of joy be ev'rywhere

Old Noah, he built himself an ark;
There's one more river to cross.
There's one more river,
And that wide river is Jordan,
He built it out of hick'ry bark'
And that wide river is Jordan,
The animals went in one by one; . . .
The elephant chewing a caraway bun; . . .
The animals went in two by two; . . .
The rhinoceros and the kangaroo; . . .
The animals went in three by three; . . .
The bear, the bug and the bumble bee; . . .

That's 'nuff, said Noah, and slammed the
gate; . . .

NOONDAY PRAYER
Bah'u'llh, Prayer
(Music: Susan Engle, Come and Sing)
I bear witness, O my God,
that Thou hast created me
to know Thee and to worship Thee.
I testify, at this moment,
to my powerlessness and to Thy might,
to my poverty and to Thy wealth.
There is none other God but Thee,
the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.
NOSES
(R. Dutch, Rosenshontz Tickles You)
Noses come in many shapes and sizes.
Some get laughs and some win beauty prizes.
Some turn up, some turn down.
Some go to the side.
Some are long, some are narrow
Some are short and wide.
But they're not there to be good lookin', uh
uh.
They're there to let you know what's cookin'.
And when you think about it, I suppose,

You'd be a little lost without your nose.

Yellow, white, red, black and brown

Are the colors of people around
Though we're different, we're all the same
We feel and care like everyone.
Chorus:
Should a rose be black
It's beautiful because it's black
Should a rose be white
It's beautiful because it's white
We need not feel ashamed (Oh, no . . . )
To God we are all the same
What matters is the color of our hearts.
Buddha, Krishna, Christ, Muhammad
Zoroaster and Moses too
All have taught that we must love
So we can live together in peace.

Chorus
O Bah'u'llh, what hast Thou done?

Step by exiled step
You followed the path of Your Lord.
Kings at Your command let fall their
scepters,
their kingdoms vanquished
in the fire of Your decree.
O kings of the earth, You proclaimed,
He Who is the Sovereign Lord of All is
come.
The Kingdom is God's,
the Omnipotent Protector, the SelfSubsisting.
From the Heaven of Your revelation
divine justice descended to subdue the
world, God's kingdom on earth,
Your promised Kingdom come.
The Maid of Heaven, now clad in white,
bade You hasten to Your other dominions.
Silently and swiftly You ascended, leaving
us here in grief, in joy, in wonder at
what You have done.
May we remember your days during our
days,
O Best Beloved, O Royal Falcon, King of
Glory,
O Bah'u'llh.
O Bah'u'llh, O Bah'u'llh
O Bah'u'llh, What hast Thou done?
May my life be sacrificed, may my life be

sacrificed
May my life be sacrificed for Thee
May my soul be offered up, may my soul be
offered up
My soul be offered up for Thy sake
How full were Thy days! How full were Thy
days!
With trials and tribulations!
How severe the ordeals! How severe the
ordeals!
How severe the ordeals Thou didst endure!
O Bah'u'llh, How solid the foundation
Thou hast laid
O Bah'u'llh, How glorious the banner
Thou didst hoist
The Glorious banner Thou didst hoist!
O Bah'u'llh, What hast Thou done
O Bah'u'llh
Spreading the Word, no soul untold.

Bring us together in unity, bring us together
as one family.
Darkness has fallen upon these lands, evil
tries to force our hand,
But united in God, together we stand,
as one family.
O FRIEND
(Music by Jean White, Special Times)
O Friend!
In the garden of thy heart plant naught
but the rose of love, and from the

loosen not thy hold.
Treasure the companionship of the righteous
and eschew all fellowship with the ungodly.

Providence.
Cultivate this fresh plant in the rose garden
of Thy love,
and nurture it by showers from the clouds of
Providence.
Make it a child of the kingdom,
and lead it to the divine world.
Thou art powerful and kind.
Thou art the Giver, the Bestower,
Whose blessings transcend all else
Whose blessings transcend all else.
O GOD! REFRESH AND GLADDEN

MY SPIRIT
Based on prayer of 'Abdu'l-Bah
(Music: Michael Moutrie & Susan Engle,
Loving Hands)
'O God! Refresh and gladden my spirit.
Purify my heart. Illumine My powers.
I lay all my affairs in Thy hand.
Thou art my Guide and my Refuge.
I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved;
I will be a happy and joyful being. O God!
I will no longer be full of anxiety,
nor will I let trouble harass me.
I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of
life.
O God! Thou art more friend to me
than I am to myself.
I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord.'
O God! Refresh and gladden my spirit.
O LORD! I AM A CHILD
Based on a prayer by 'Abdu'l-Bah
O Lord! I am a child; enable me to grow
beneath the shadow of Thy lovingkindness.
I am a tender plant; cause me to be nurtured
through the outpourings of the clouds of
Thy bounty.
I am a sapling of the garden of love;
make me into a fruitful tree.
Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful,
and Thou art the All-Loving
the All-Knowing, the All-Seeing
O LORD, IM YOUR CHILD

O My Friend in Word!
O Lord, Im Your child. O Lord, Im Your
child.
Im down here working in Your vineyard,
Cant do nothing til You come.
Father, I stretch my hands to Thee.
No other help I know.
If Thou withdraw Thyself from me,
O where shall I go?
I do believe, I now believe that the Bab died
for me,
And with the coming of Bahaullah
His love will bring world unity.

'O My Friend in Word!
Ponder awhile.' (Ponder awhile, hmmm . .)

that friend and foe should abide in one heart?
Cast out then the stranger,' (Hmmm . . .)
'that the Friend may enter His home.'

O MY SERVANT
Bah'u'llh, The Hidden Words, Persian
#40, 41, 39; (Music: Ravi Shankar, O
Agyani/
Free thyself from the fetters of this world,
loose thy soul from the prison of self.
Seize thy chance, seize thy chance!
O my servant!
Didst thou behold a sovereignty immortal,
thou wouldst strive to pass from this world,
fleeting world, fleeting world!
O my servant! O my servant!
Be not content with the ease of a passing
day,
be not deprived of everlasting rest.
Trade not the garden of eternal delight
for the dust-heap of a mortal world.
Up from thy prison ascend unto glory,
Up from thy prison ascend unto glory,
and from thy mortal cage wing thy flight,
O my servant!
O MY SON
O, my son, you're a wonder.
It's no wonder that I love you so.
I can hardly believe, when you look at me,
That I see what I see what I see
As pure as the air you breathe
It's all over your face
You're a ray from the sun
Let's go along now
I'll let you go somehow, someday.

O, my son, it's a privilege just to know you.
How I hate it so when I scold you.
There has got to be more love inside of me,
But I never know how far
Down this road of life to go.
We will travel and till our time comes
I'm thankful that you are my son, my son.

Music Collection 1)
Oh, Lord, please hear our prayer
Let our thoughts of peace rise through the air
Where they'll form a pattern the world's not
seen
Since the first sunrise turned the forest green
As it slowly settles o'er the earth
Let the peaceful pattern be dispersed
To every land where people care
To city hall and village square
Oh, Lord, please give us strength
Help us keep this vital pattern linked
Let no hate or anger tear
Its lines for all men's lives are intertwined
Let us keep your perfect vision's aim
We pray this in your Holy Name
Let each new day a thought of peace
Cause other thoughts to be released.

Only that which is worthy of praise.
When this is done

One can be a friend, one can be a friend
To the whole human race.
Look not at shortcomings, see with
forgiveness.
The imperfect eye beholds imperfectly.
Look not at shortcomings, see with
forgiveness.
The eye that covers faults looks toward the
Creator of souls
Always be silent concerning faults of others.
Pray for them, help them, through kindness,
to improve.
Look always at the good and not at the bad.
Let's unseal our lips, in praise of every other
man.
Cleanse ye your eyes, behold none different
from yourselves
Unity and love come hard - gaze fixed on
otherness
For each of the creatures is a sign of Mighty
God
All mankind's our family, brothers and
sisters to us.
O, lovers of humankind, when ye direct your
gaze at other people
See how they excel, not how they fail
Praise be to God, our goal is to help other
people
Raise high the banners of light and glory
Proclaiming mankind is one
ONE FAMILY

Feel the mighty shout.
Watch the whole creation
Turning inside out.
He's making His Will made known.
The time for peace is now.
Leaders at the table
Talking about an end to war.
We need more than chess moves.
We got to open up the door.
And let a little sunlight
Shine on each and every face.
And in the light of morning
Let them bless the human race singing:
CHORUS:
You and me
Feel the expectation
All the world around
Everyone is waiting
To hear the ..hear the joyful sound
Of all the nations singing
Singing out in harmony.

There's a new world in the making.
Won't you sing along
Sing along with me.
A blend of men of brown and black and

white.
Softly, softly,
Softly they walked in the night.
CHORUS
CHORUS
You and me
Shout it from the mountain top.
Sail it on the breeze.

'Neath a cloak of varied hue
Beats one heart of ruby red.

Open my ears, that I may hear voices of truth

Thou sendest clear;
And while the waves notes fall on my ear,
everything false will disappear.

Music Collection 1)
When we first met our glances were few
But I was so drawn by the magnet of you
That I had to discover the secrets you hid
And many years later, I'm happy I did
I discovered your warmth and your sensitive
touch
I discovered the strength I depend on so
much
I shared in your laughter, you confident
smile
And I watched as you struggled with pain for
a while
I discovered a yearning for spiritual things
I discovered the music that makes your hear
sing
I shared your commitment to a faith that's
endured
And I watched as your soul met each test and
matured
I discovered a man who was willing to be
A partner who could accept all that was me
A friend to shed tears with, a dreamer of
dreams
A player to challenge, a coach for my team
And each new discovery makes me love you
more
With each conversation we open the door
To a fortress of love we have built deep
within
A home everlasting ordained by God's Pen.

PANAMA SPACESHIP
(Christopher Ruhe)
One day while I was pioneer ramblin'
Down in old steamy Panama,
What to my wonder I saw
On a jungle mountaintop right there,
A spaceship had landed, I swear.
CHORUS:
Oh, it glowed in the night, a soft peachy light
It had fins for steerin', I suppose,
Silently, it stared into the night
But I couldn't go close,
I just shivered with fright.
I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing
People of all colors were entering the
spaceship,
They were smiling, they weren't fleeing,
So I guess the spacemen were some nice
guys
Who had dropped in to see us from out of the
skies.
Like I said, I wouldn't go near it
But a spaceship from some new world had
landed
Where it can be seen, and if you're ever
down
In old steamy Panama, you'll see it, I swear
it.

PASS IT ON
(Kurt Kaiser, Tell It Like It Is)
It only takes a spark to get a fire going
And soon all those around can warm up in its
glowing
That's how it is with God's love once you've
experienced it
You spread His love to ev'ry one You want to pass it on.
What a wondrous time is spring when all the
trees are budding
The birds begin to sing; the flowers start
their blooming
That's how it is with God's love once you've
experienced it
You want to sing, it's fresh like spring You want to pass it on.
I wish for you, my friend, this happiness that
I've found
You can depend on Him, It matters not

where you're bound
I'll shout it from the mountain top, I want my
world to know
The Lord of love has come to me I want to pass it on.
Do You hate mankind for what they've done

to You?
He said, Forgive them, every one,
For they know not what they've done.
I'll be back, but now I'm only passing
through.
I'll shout it from the mountain top, I want my

world to know
The Lord of love has come to me I want to pass it on.
When Mohammad smashed the idols

On the burning desert sand
I asked, How could You treat the gods the
way You do?
He said, My friend, there's only One,
And His Messenger has come
To build a nation in this time We're passing
through.

I hope I grow up like 'Abdu'l-Bah,
For He was patient.

CHORUS:
I am waiting without complaining

Who's delayed
CHORUS

Until my goals are won
I do what I can, then calmly wait
With trust that results will come

The seed grows when the time's just right
It knows the day's for sun and night's
For rest. A plant is patient
As a seed will one day turn into a flower

Good things take time
Patience is seeing the end in the beginning
I start something now to make my future
shine
A cow is patient
CHORUS

PATIENCE
When you are watching TV, your favourite
stuff
Baby sister is wailing, your Moms in a huff
Your temperature is rising, youve just had
enough
Just try to be patient and calm
Cause practicing patience is a wonderful
thing,
The more that you practice, the more love it
will bring
So be willing to wait for the things that you
want
Be patient n gentle and kind.
When you cant find your socks cause
Your rooms in a mess
Dont go round moaning and blaming the
rest
Try to remember, be patient and kind
Then theyll be easy to find.
For vague ideals and abstract truths, and no

one can answer why,
How can the children understand that love is
what the world needs?
For one and all the Peace will come with our
every loving deed.
PEACE AND UNITY (SONG & RAP)

(Joanna Patten, Felisa Cephas & Sandra
Cephas)
SONG: SPOKEN FIRST, SUNG SECOND:
If there be peace / let it be unending /
For this world / needs some mending. /
All this hatred / and bigotry /
We need to change. / Can't you see? /
United we stand / and divided we fall. /
Let's come together / and fulfill the Lord's
call. /
His call for peace / and unity. /
We need to love / love each other / just you
and me. /
PATIENTLY WAITING
Louhelen)
Patiently, patiently waiting.
Silently, silently waiting.
Trusting you will make my world free.
So I can play and be what I was meant to be.
Children 'round the world play the games
that make them happy.
Despite the things that seem so bad, children
always try
To make the best of what they have, to see
things as they should be,
To find the sun behind the clouds, to paint
rainbows happily.
But in a world where wars still rage, where
people fight and die
CHORUS:
Peace! Unity! That's the way this world
should be.
Together as one, you know it can be done.
Why can't you people understand?
Everybody's equal. A man is a man.
RAP: What is this thing called prejudice?
Black and White, you know what the
message is.
We need to come together as one;
People getting shot in the head with a gun.
What's the matter with the people of this
place,
Killing each other because of their race?
Haven't you ever heard of peace and unity?
United, not divided, is the way we want to
be.
Say: I just don't know why.

Why are people discriminated?
Don't you know that people hate it:
Hate being judged like a book.
Please wake up and take a good look.
Look at one another.
Don't you know you're sister and brother?
We're telling you straight to your face.
This world needs to become a better place.
A place that people can see,
See one another live in harmony.
It's up to you, it's up to me.
We've got to get together and live in unity.
CHORUS
Peace. Unity
RAP: You all heard of the Promised Day

That brings peace and happiness in every
way.
We're all waiting for this day to come.
And when it does, evil will be done.
Well, we hope that you all understand
That we're all equal, and a man is a man.
Now we're off
In search of the Promised Land.
CHORUS 2 TIMES
Greater things for life to thrive on

There's a need to love and share the things
we have
In the West they're making peace moves
Throw down your weapons
All the hatred and tragedy they bring
Every part of life is precious
Turn to God and let the power come from
Him
In the North they're making peace moves
Tear down your borders
All they do is cast a shadow on your soul
Come together from all corners
Look within it's more than skin we need to
know
In the South they're making peace moves
CHORUS:
And when peace moves in you
Then it moves through the world
Peace moves the world
And it's peace that moves the world
CHORUS
Peace. Unity
PEACE MOVES
(Steve and Terry Ransome, The Bah'
Songbook, Vol. 1)
Tear down those borders
All they do is cast a shadow on the land
Build a bridge across the waters
Come together help the world walk hand in
hand
In the East they're making peace moves
Look beyond your horizons
There's much more to life than money
changing hands
PEACE ON EARTH
(Traditional tune of Greensleeve)
In every one of the Holy Books
A time of peace has been foretold
When God would once again speak to man
As in the days of old
CHORUS:
Peace on earth was prophesied
When all these ruinous wars would cease
The Glory of God is Bah'u'llh
For He is the Prince of Peace
The sullen mass of all mankind
The yeast of love can leaven

Then, surely, shall His kingdom come
On earth as it is in heaven
CHORUS
PEACE TRAIN

Now, I've been happy lately, thinkin' about
the good things to come.
And I believe it could be, something good

Oh, I've been smiling lately, dreaming about

And there are all kinds of places, (ECHO)
From Argentina to Japan. (ECHO)
And here we go, here we go, here we go,
here we go
And there's a horseman from the grasslands
of Mongolia,
And the mountain folk who live in
Switzerland.
There's also the Eskimo who live with
lots and lots of snow
And the fishermen that fish in Tanzania.

PHOENIX
(Words by Michael J. Lamarch, Music by
Lindsay Tim Bush, Legacy - World Peace)
Fly, Phoenix, fly
And in your flight, drive back the darkness
Fly, Phoenix, fly
And in your flight give us your light
Our lives are ashes,
But our children still breathe
Cheer their young spirits,
It is hope that they need
From among the shattered towers
From within the dead black seas
Comes a shape all fire and motion
Comes the Phoenix, flying free
CHORUS:
His love now soars around us
His message at least we see
We shudder at past blindness
As we embrace His Unity
Gone the hate that burned so deadly
Gone the fear that fed dread needs
Out of death new hope arises
Out of nightmare dreams released
The purge so swift and final
Some never heard their screams
Our dreams now lay in ashes

We've left ourselves to bleed, to bleed
A PIONEER
If there's one wish that I may realize
Lord, won't you grant to me
That I may be a pioneer, a pioneer for Thee
CHORUS
Now amidst our huddled masses
Where eyes never seem to dry
Silent weeping turns to wonder
As we watch the Phoenix fly
In our hearts His seed blossoms
In our souls His spirit breathes
Our children cheer new hope's passage,
In dying, we finally see
CHORUS:
A pioneer, a pioneer, a pioneer for Thee
Grant that I may sacrifice my all
To be a pioneer for Thee
Grant me the courage, Lord, I beg
Make me a channel free
That my poor ears may hear Thy call
To be a pioneer for Thee
CHORUS
From among the shattered towers
From within the dead black seas
Comes a shape all fire and motion
Comes the Phoenix, flying free, flying free
Fly, please, oh please fly
PILGRIMAGE
Louhelen)
And it takes so long to travel there
It takes so long to travel there.
And yet it's not the footsteps spent
Or time meandering in vales
Or squandered on a holiday.
It's love's sojourn; our Lord awaits
I long to see the Prison gates
Where Mihd fell, the Purest Branch.
Our Lord's arms outstretched to us, waving
high
And it takes so long to travel there.
My heart shall ache, my mind shall be

perplexed
My soul shall ne'er be free
Until I realize that wondrous joy
Of being a pioneer for Thee.
PIONEER
Faraway friend, friend with your golden
dreams,
Working for a life that takes you far
from what life seems,
Holding fast to the cord of what life really
means.
CHORUS:
Pioneer, in the greatest city
With unseen armies beside you
Pioneer, oh, remember Him
And let His memory satisfy you.
Faraway land, land of a universal goal,
With everybody crying loud for a soul.
Oh, be the instrument that makes them
whole.

THE PORTAL
I have seen the forest empty,
I have seen the forest at night
Come to me, my maiden lovely
Closer still, hold me tight
Oh, my husband, why are you shaking?
What see you, in the forest dark?
Are there lurking creatures of evil?
Painted shadows, cold with fright
CHORUS:
Bah'u'llh, help us now to see
Bah'u'llh, help us now, help us now
Yes, I see a death in the forest
Frozen fingers of despair
Mankind looked in combat mortal
With himself, the earth, and the air
Oh, my darling, stay to your portal
Are no horizons fair?
Must the future be so brutal?
To God's mercy we must repair
Anytime, anywhere
I am connected to the One Great Spirit
CHORUS
CHORUS
What joy I see now in the distance
Light is breaking o'er the hill
Smiling people, working together
Harmony may conquer still
We have seen the forest empty
We have seen it filling with light
See you now our death in the forest?
We are praying man will survive
Prayer makes things clear when

I'm confused
It gives me hope when I am sad
I become still and turn to God
I listen and receive true guidance

What's your color or what's your name?
Shouldn't matter 'cause we're all the same
But will we ever learn?
In the garden of your heart, plant nothing but

the rose of love
Listen for a while! That's all I ask of you
War and ignorance, complacent indifference
Revenge and greed throughout the world
But who cares?
Let's build a brand new world to live in
A world of peace and love
CHORUS
Although we might have diff'rent goals
We just need to open up our souls
God has given us the keys
And sent us the Prince of Peace.

They called Him the Prince of Peace.
They called Him the Prince of Peace.
From Constantinople to Adrianople,
To Akk, 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 its Glory.
His light is shining forth 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 in all religions,
And left no helpless soul behind.
CHORUS
THE PRISONER
(Dan Seals & John Ford Coley, Flight/Lote
Tree & Lift Up Your Voices and Sing, Vol. 1)
Take us to the Prisoner. Let us gaze into His
eyes,
To see what kind of man it takes a nation to
despise
Take us to the Prisoner. Let us look upon
His face.
To see why twenty thousand men would
gladly
take His place.
Won't someone give a drink to Him?
Remove the chains and let Him live. Let
him live.
Take us to the Prisoner. Let us listen to His
voice,
To see why worlds of wisdom's in a cell
without a choice.
Take us to the Prisoner,
Torn and bent beneath the chains.
We wonder if the world is really worthy of
His Name.
Won't someone give a drink to Him?
Remove the chains and let Him live. Let
Him live.
CHORUS:
We know where we're goin',
For we've heard the new wind blowin'
And we've got to know for ourselves.
It won't help to listen to someone else.
Take us to the Prisoner with His eyes so full
of grace.
The priests have lied and kings have died
filled with their own disgrace.
Wont' someone give a drink to Him?
Remove the chains and let Him live.
Let Him live. Let Him live. Let Him live.
PROCLAIM THE GREATEST NAME

(Dan Seals & John Ford Coley, Flight, Lift
Up Your Voices and Sing, Vol. 2)
Come on, all you glory boys,
And hoist your banners high.
The pillars of the light are shining
On the Persian sky.
The people are awaiting
To hear the Author's fame
And 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.
CHORUS
Come on, all you people,
Who are endowed with gentle souls
You shall all 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
THE PROMISED DAY IS COME

The Promised Day is come
The Day of Judgment here
The Great Millenium
Our Father's Kingdom clear!
His World Court of Justice
His corps men worldwide
Will stem further malice
Will loose freedom's tide
Ring in the Primal Star
The Glory of God, Bah'u'llh
Rejoice, o friends in regions all
Mount Carmel renews its triune call
That east and west at last combine
To promulgate peace by Plan Divine
PROTECT US!
Words from a prayer by The Bb
(Music: Ernestine Atkins)
O Lord! Protect us from
what lieth in front of us and
behind us, above our heads,
on our right, on our left,
below our feet and every
other side to which we are
exposed. Verily, Thy
protection over all things is

Verily Thy protection over all things is
unfailing.
Protect us, protect us.
PSALM 19
Based on Old Testament Psalm attributed to
David (Christian hymn by Sonny Salsbury)
Don't you wonder why the stars are in the
sky?
They're telling you and I of the glory of God.
And ev'ry tow'ring tree is there for folks to
see
So there no doubt can be of the glory of God.
PUT A LITTLE LOVE IN YOUR

HEART
(Words and Music by Jackie DeShannon,
Jimmy Holiday & Randy Myers)
Think of your fellow man, lend him a
helping hand
Put a little love in your heart!
You see its getting late, oh please dont
hesitate
Chorus:
and the world will be a better place,
and the world will be a better place,
for you and me you just wait and
see
Take a good look around, and if youre
feeling down
We want the world to know we wont let
hatred grow
Chorus
CHORUS:
So 'Let the words of my mouth,
And the meditation of my heart'
Do the same thing for thee and a witness be
To the glory of God! To the glory of God!
Then comes the morning sun to make the
darkness run,
And say that day's begun to the glory of God.
But when the shadows fall and the night
winds call,
They're telling one and all of the glory of
God.
Another day goes by, and still the children

cry
Were hoping youll decide kindness will be
your guide
Chorus
Put a little love in your heart! (FADE)
QUALITIES
Music Collection 1)
The quality of friendliness outweighs a bag
of gold
Kindliness and tolerance surpass all stocks
you hold
Trustworthiness exceeds the price of any
fancy car
And truthfulness and justice outshine all
rings by far
The quality of faithfulness endures where've
you roam
Obedience and purity rate higher than a
home
Unselfishness wears better than a new
designer dress
And righteousness adorns the man who lives
with less
We need to change the standard used for
measuring our lives
And place much more importance on our
spirit's inner drives
For every choice we make that's hard, our
character improves
Our spirits grow, our souls take flight, we
understand God's truths
QUEEN OF CARMEL
(Jeanie Murday, We Have Come to Sing
Praises & Lift Up Your Voices and Sing, Vol.
2)
Standing on the mountain,
Looking across the bay,
The Queen of Carmel reigns,
She reigns majestically.
CHORUS:
Cry out, O Zion,

Cry out to your Lord.
Cry out, O Zion,
Circle 'round in adoration,
Circle 'round your Lord.
Unto God, the Lord of Lords
Belong kingdoms of earth and heaven
Land and sea rejoice this day
The day of revelation
CHORUS
Robed in white and crowned in gold,
She stands for Unity;
God will sail His ark on Thee
As mentioned in the Book of Names.
CHORUS
RADIANT FACES
(by Katie Shannon)
Radiant faces with traces of love in their eyes
Walking the pathway of God, seeking the
Light.
Chorus:
Whos to know, what loving (sorrow,
tomorrow) will bring
Loving (sorrow, tomorrow) will bring
All that we know, is winter will turn
Turn into spring
Waking up early one morn to the cry of a
child
Spinning and turning a soul, born to be wild.
Chorus
Riding the hills, the wheat fields glow in the
sun
We know only one thing, our journey has
only begun.
Chorus
Eagles of beauty and grace soar in the sky
To see you again oh my friend, makes my
heart fly
To see you again oh my friend, makes my
heart fly
RAIN YOUR LOVE DOWN

Such a lovely world was made for you and
me
Wondrous life for us to taste, touch, smell,
hear, and see
But one glance from outside looking at our
world state
Clearly displays we don't appreciate it at all
Rain Your love down, won't You rain down
Your love
Let it drench us like the sun from above
Such ability inside you and me
Made to do anything and be all we can be
But one bird's eye view at us does show, oh
it shows
That against God's Plan we've let it go, oh no
Rain Your love down - won't You rain down
Your love
Rain Your love down - let it rain down
today
So that it may wash all our sins away
You'd think the signs would make a
difference, oh, make a difference
You'd think fire next time instead of rain
Would cause us to make a change
The world has gone insane
Rain Your love down - won't You rain down

Your love
Rain Your love down, let it rain down today
So that it may wash all our sins away, let it
rain
Rain Your love down, let it pour on us,
please
Cleansing us from hunger, hate, war, and
greed
Rain Your love down, won't You let us start
over again
So we can live up to your Master Plan
Rain Your love down, oh won't You let it
start
Wash the wicked minds and the . . .
I know they're sick, You know they're sick,
we know they're sick at heart, yeah
Rain Your love down, won't you let it rain
Rid this world of drugs, disease, crime, and
pain
Clear our spirits, give our minds new
software
With your lesson on honor, respect, trust,
and care
Rain Your love down, I beg for human sake
For only You can get us out of this state
Rain Your love down, rain down on all
mankind
Cause we are out of order and so out of line
RAINDROPS FROM HEAVEN

World)
Raindrops from heaven
Blessing us each and every one
Day by day, year after year
We learn to trust that help is near

And the rain comes down and it fills our
souls
And in looking up we're finally whole
And the rain comes down
We set aside a sacred cup
And the falling rain fills it up
We take our cups side by side
And pour them in the rising tide
And the rain comes down and the river flows
And it fills the world with a love that grows
And for every drop that we give in love
Ten more fall from heaven above
Raindrops we set aside
From heaven a sacred cup
Blessing us the falling rain
Each and everyone fills it up
Day by day we take our cups
Year after year side by side
We learn to trust and pour them in
That help is near the rising tide
And the rain comes down and it fills our
souls
And in looking up we're finally whole
And the rain comes down and the river flows
And it fills the world with a love that grows
And the rain comes down.....
RANKS OF CONFORMITY
They say that
A woman's work is never done;
That she's the first teacher of everyone.
She's standing behind

Every successful man.
The backbone of the nation
Is her working hands, I know!
I've heard that the children
Are the poor man's wealth but where
Is the man when she needs some help.
He comes as he pleases
Every lonely night
And the DJ on the air says
'Banna that's allright
Hey! Mr. Selector
Where you comin' from?
You rap about the system
And you chant down Babylon.
But when you talk a woman down
Like she's your property,
Are you joining in
The "ranks" of conformity? Yea!
You say equal rights,
Lord they must be won.
But whose side of the fence
Are you really on?
Her God-given dignity
You've slandered and "dissed".
If that's not mental slavery,
Then tell me what is.
Hey Mr. Selector
Where does your music stand?
"The speech of the angels" or
"The brandy of the damned."
Rejecting "ism-schism"
But as far as I can see,
You're joining in
The ranks of conformity,
I know!
Big rebel man, hero of the street.
Attention feels nice
And the money's sweet.
With privileges comes responsibilities.
You direct the "massive"

With your words and deeds.
The voice of the "sistren"
Is the key to world peace.
If they don't break their silence,
War will never cease.
The "downpressor" man
Appears in many ways,
So careful how you're treating
Half the human race.
Hey Mr. Selector, it's inequality.
The rhythm's sounding conscious
But the lyrics are asleep.
The rough-boy image is a transparency.
You're joining in
The ranks on conformity.
So with or without you
The work is moving on.
Like two wings of a dove,
We and she will both be strong.
If you can't comprehend
The oneness of humanity,
It's cause you're joining in the
Ranks of conformity.
RAP SONG
Now all across this big, wide world
There are lots of boys and lots of girls
With different eyes and different noses
Different hair and different clothes
It's a magical thing, it's a wonderful game
We all look different, but we're all the same
CHORUS: Hello, (hello) Hola, (hola)

Jambo, Jambo
Gan lowee lay mun ho mah
Now some folks think that they are the best
They don't know how to get along,
They say the heck with the rest
So they go their own way and they do their
own thing
But the song sounds weak
When it's time for them to sing
Now you gather up folk from all kinds of
places
With different ways of talking and different
color faces
There's something special each one brings
along and
When they all sing together now you really
got a song
CHORUS
So open up your eyes and take a look around
There's all kinds of kids that live in your
town
Maybe black, maybe white, maybe rich,
maybe poor
You've got to get to know them all,
That's what friends are for
'Cause the differences are great,
And the differences are small
But that's just part of the beauty of it all
We're all like notes that make up a song
We need everybody, so come on, sing along
CHORUS
Now the differences are great,

And the differences are small
But that's just part of the beauty of it all
We're all like notes that make up a song
We need everybody, so come on, sing along
REACH OUT AND TOUCH

(Charles F. Brown)
Reach out and touch a soul that is hungry;
Reach out and touch a spirit in despair;

Reach out and touch a life torn and dirty,
A man who is lonely, if you care!
Reach out and touch that neighbor who hates
you;
Reach out and touch that stranger who meets
you;
Reach out and touch the brother who needs
you;
Reach out and let the smile of God touch
through you.
Reach out and touch a friend who is weary;
Reach out and touch a seeker unaware;
Reach out and touch, though touching means
losing
A part of your own self, if you dare!
Reach out and give your love to the loveless;
Reach out and make a home for the
homeless;
Reach out and shed God's light in the
darkness;
Reach out and let the smile of God touch
through you.
THE REALM OF BEING

(Words by Bah'u'llh, Hidden Words
Music by Grant Hindin Miller, Afar)
"O Son Of Worldliness ! Pleasant is the
realm of being
Wert thou to attain thereto; glorious is the
domain of eternity
Shouldst thou pass beyond the world of
mortality;
Sweet is the holy ecstasy if thou drinkest of
the mystic chalice
From the hands of the celestial Youth.
Shouldst thou attain this station, thou
wouldst be freed from destruction
And death, from toil and sin
O Weed That Springeth Out Of Dust !

Wherefore have not these soiled hands
Of thine touched first thine own garment,
and why, with thine hearts
Defiled with desire and passion dost thou
seek to commune with Me
And to enter My sacred realm ? Far, far are
ye from that which ye desire
REFLECTIONS
Such a proud and arrogant man
A body of bricks and mortar
Surrounds a heart that beats inside
And swears he'll never alter
CHORUS:
A frightened man, a frightened child
Whose heart may some day open
He sees the world as cold and hard
A world with little hope in
A man who does not suffer fools
No fools without exception
A man who does not suffer fools
And daren't look at his reflection
CHORUS
To see the splinter when there's a plank
Just listen without exception
Trust and love and we can find
Salvation in reflection
True love in true perception
CHORUS
REJOICE IN THE GLADNESS OF

THINE HEART
O Son of Man! Rejoice in the gladness of
thine heart,
that thou may'st be worthy to meet Me
and to mirror forth My beauty.
RELY ON GOD
This present life is as a swelling wave,
Or a mirage, or shadows drifting by.
Know that the Kingdom is the real world,
And this nether place, its shadow, stretching
out.
Rely on God. Trust in Him. Praise Him.
And call Him continually to mind.
He verily turneth trouble into ease,
Sorrow into solace,
And toil to utter peace.
And toil to utter peace.

CHORUS:

RESPONSIBILITY
CHORUS:
You can count o me (Responsibility)
I'm accountable for my actions
(Responsibility)
I give my best to all I do (Responsibility)
I welcome praise and suggestion
I focus on my own part

And not someone else's
When I make a mistake
I admit it without excuses
CHORUS
Responsibility
Is a sign of growing up
I don't take on too much
And overflow my cup
CHORUS
THE RETURN OF THE LAMB

He was bathing by the river-side
The jailor he felt jaded and headed to the
castle-gate
Asked the guard why had he let Him out ?
The guard he frowned, shook his head, said,
He hadnt left
And the jailor ran the corridor found Him
sitting there just like before
He saw the mud in the brick thrilled to be
there
Dust on the stone jumped in the air
And the shadows wrapped round Him like
hands
The Wool-Merchants Son, the Return of the
Lamb
Earlier they led Him down the road
Where He healed an ailing child, visitors
they lined for miles
Moving Him again they brought a horse
A fiery steed no-one could mount He just
smiled and rode around
And the people saw Him as a God
They ran to scoop the water where He

washed
And the mud in the brick laughed to be there
Dust on the stone danced in the air
And the wonder spread across the land
Lamb
Frightened clouds covered up their eyes
Barrack-walls even tried to hide
What do we do with lambs in spring lead
them to the knife
Thats what we did to Him one more time
Hundreds of rifles line on line
They took aim in the barrack-square - hung
Him in the open air
Fury of hot metal gainst the Lamb
A sabre fell across the sun rent a veil on
everyone
And the Day will darken round the carcass
Hawks and vultures there will gather
The mud in the brick, dumb with despair
Dust on the stone, choked in the air
And the bullets shattered Him as planned
Lamb
In Tabriz today the cars whirl by
Honking horns, changing lanes, even by the
barrack-gate
In Shiraz the people come and go
Up and down, to and fro most hardly know
All the tired expressions as they walk around
If only they could see inside the town
The mud in the brick loves to be there
Dust on the stone hums in the air
And the rainbows know for Whom they
stand
Lamb
RETURN UNTO GOD
CHORUS
Cleanse thou the rheum from out thine head

And breathe the breath of God instead.
Learn from the Master of Love
in the schoolhouse of oneness,
and return, return, return, return, return,
return unto God.
Shoghi Effendi, The Sign of God on Earth,

With reverence I stand before Thee
May my life be a sacrifice for Thee.
In thy soul of love build thou a fire

And burn all thoughts and words entire.
Learn from the Master of Love
in the schoolhouse of oneness,
and return, return, return, return, return,
return unto God.
REVERENCE

Purify thyself from all else save Him,

that thou mayest surrender thy life in His
love.

With reverence I stand before Thee.
CHORUS
'Abdu'l-Bah, The Servant of the Glory,
With reverence I stand before Thee
CHORUS
Reverence - were practising reverence

Know whose presence you stand before
Reverence - were practising reverence
Try to be humble at the threshold of your
Lord.
Life is precious - dont let is slip away
Be still in the night
In a world where the candle flame is dying
We gotta stand up and rekindle the light
With sweet delight

THE RHYTHM SONG

Music Collection 1)
Can you feel the throbbing sound?
There's people changing all around
I want that rhythm in my soul
To keep it beating is my goal
But when I'm scared, I lose the beat
I must face my fears, There's no retreat
To stop that feeling I close my eyes
I clap my hands and re-synchronize
(CLAP HANDS TO RHYTHM)
And when I'm crying and feeling blue
The rhythm's beat can pull me through
I find a friend whose rhythm's strong
I step in time for I belong

(MOVE FEET TO RHYTHM)
We're each a part of nature's plan
To keep God's rhythm in this land
So move your hands and feet as one
Help each other; the beat's begun
Help each other; the beat's begun
(CLAP HANDS & MOVE FEET TO
RHYTHM)
RIDE TO GLORY
(Andrew Pemberton-Pigott and Gordi
Munro,Unity in Diversity)
CHORUS:
As we ride on into glory
Let's move the world to a blaze
Like the stories of all the early heroes
Forever remembered in His name
As we ride to glory
If you wish to be remembered
Let go of fortune and fame
All the kings will be forgotten
Honour and deeds will remain
CHORUS
Do you live to die in comfort
Remember the days of the flood
When the walls lay under water
The ark floated up from the mud
CHORUS
So build a home
And fill it with spirit
Freedom from hatred and strife
'Cause only love will protect you
From the changes and chances of life
CHORUS
THE RIDVN SONG

Music Collection 1)
There once was a garden with a river near by
Its trees had wide branches, the breeze made
them sigh
The flowers were blooming, their perfume so
strong
Gathered petals were symbols of love's
joyful song
The eyes of the people witnessed God's hand
Its movement through time had chosen this
one Man
In Ridvn, His garden, the pronouncement
came
This Great Promised One would re-ignite the
flame
But exile awaited the Father of Man
Man begged to go with him, to suffer his ban
Just a few could be chosen to escort His
Grace
Separation brought sorrow, grief's tears
stained each face
In spite of the distance their Loved One must
roam
The remaining souls knew His Faith was
their home
In Ridvn, His Garden, the pronouncement
came
This Great Promised One would re-ignite the
flame
RIDVN IS PARADISE
(Marie Gervais and Cynthia Yamach, Feast
at My House)
CHORUS:
Ridvn is paradise
Ridvn is love
Ridvn bring roses to
The Glory of God
Then you gotta', gotta' live it right!

Right on! Yeah, you gotta', gotta' live it
right!
In the garden of changeless splendour

A Flower hath begun to bloom
Compared to which every other flower
Is but a thorn
We must work and do our best

Can't be lazy and always rest
Got to earn money in an honest way
Spend a little and give to the Fund the rest.
Let all eyes rejoice, every ear be gladdened

Now is the time to gaze on His beauty
Now is the time to harken to His voice
Gossip is deadly, true or not,

Destroys unity and messes a lot
Find some good about people to say
Even tho' one quality they have got
CHORUS
The Flower hidden from the sight of men
Is unveiled before your eyes
In the open radiance of His Glory of God
He standeth before you
The everlasting Candle shineth
How it hath consumed the veils
The Well-Beloved hath come among men
Release yourselves,
O Nightingales of God
And wing your flight
To the rose garden
Of unfading splendor
CHORUS
RIGHT ON (I WANT TO BE HAPPY)

There is something you must know,
In this Faith we've got to show
We are men of deeds, not words alone
Our very lives must show the Faith
To friend and foe.
CHORUS:
You want to be happy, you want to be strong
You want to lead your friends into this light
Need no booze and need no dope

'Cause they kill all life and hope
Folks are tired of fine speech
In this Faith you got to practice
What you preach.
RISE UP AND SING

(Unknown, Canta esa meloda, Sing this
Melody)
CHORUS:
Come gather 'round, people, and come let us
sing
A song of the love and the Glory of God,
And quicken mankind with the song that we
sing,
A song of the love and the Glory of God.
Rise up, oh rise up and sing!
Tell the people of the message we bring.
Rise up, oh rise up and sing!
Tell the people of the message we bring.
This is the promised day, this is the day of
days,
Throw your woes and sorrows away.
This is the promised day, this is the day of
days,
Throw your woes and sorrows away.
Happy, so happy are we,

We are beholding God's victory.
Happy, so happy are we,
We are beholding God's victory.
CHORUS
A ROBIN'S SONG
(Gregory C. Dahl, Sheet Music in A New
Wind Blowing)
Hearken 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 to 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 trials, 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 wander,
Be thou a haven for every homeless soul.
Be thou a lighthouse upon the ocean,
Guiding the vessels through the wind and
snow.
And in times of sickness, He will make thee
whole.
Show forth all meekness, unto all people,
Put not thyself ahead of any one.
Be an example unto the righteous,
And in the darkness, be a shining sun.
Show forth uprightness, in all thine actions,

Be thou unselfish in all thy deeds,
For he shall prosper, who is trustworthy,
And if he be honest, he shall have no need.
Thus sang the robin, in that deep forest,
His song of cheer, ringing through the glen.
'Be not thou lonely, in midst of trouble,
For without trials, we can never grow.'
ROCK MY SOUL
(Traditional)
Rocka my soul in the bosom of Abraham
Oh, rocka my soul
So high, can't get over it, so low, can't go
under it,
So wide, can't go around it.
Gotta' go in through the door
ROSE GARDEN
I woke up early one morning with my head
in a swirl
From a dream I had that night of a one
world.
Of a one world, of a one world.
I saw a garden, a beautiful rose garden.
I know what you're thinking,
But let me beg your pardon.
They were not roses, they were not roses.
They were people.
They were black, they were brown,
They were yellow, they were white,
All gathered in, all gathered in
This garden of love, this garden of love
Now if you stop, take a look around you

You'll see this world, just one world.
In it you have people, in it you have people,
Many, many, many people
You have black, and brown.
You have yellow, and white.
This garden of love, this garden of love.
Now this garden from time to time needs
help Someone to pull the weeds
And give it all the care it needs.
So the Lord sent us a Gardener.
He sent us a Gardener for our garden of love,
Yes, He did, yes, He did, and He put Him
here among
The people of black, and the people of
brown,
And people of yellow, and the people of
white,
This garden of love, this garden of love.
Black, and brown, yellow and white
In this garden of love, this garden of love
THE ROYAL FALCON

(Words of Bah'u'llh, Music by Paul
Parrish, Sheet music in The Bah'
Songbook, Vol. 1)
I am the Son of Wisdom and the Ocean of
Knowledge
I cheer the faint and revive the dead
I am the guiding light that illumineth the way
CHORUS:
I am the Royal Falcon on the Arm of the

Almighty
I unfold the drooping wings of every broken
bird and start in on its flight
I unfold the drooping wings of every broken
bird and start in on its flight
RUBY JEAN AND BILLIE LEE

(James Seals & Dash Crofts, Seals & Crofts
Greatest Hits)
Oh, Ruby Jean, last night I dreamed
I was running somewhere beyond the stars
I called out to you and you answered softly
You are the children's eyes and I'm the days
gone by
Oh, Ruby Jean, it doesn't seem
Like a long, long time since we were born
again
Into the Dazzling Light uniting black and
white
You are the rich brown earth and I'm the
flowers that grow
We'll have children of the Kingdom (Lua,
Joshua)
They won't be torn by war, nor will they
Kill or hate or hesitate to love Justice
Oh, Billie Lee, it's destiny that we meet
again
Here on this earthly plain. I'll see all the
worlds with you
But you'll have to help me through
You are the straight and narrow path, and I'm
the wayfarer
Oh, Billie Lee, we shall be free in the years
to come
To help build The Promised Land
We'll go where the Daysprings run forever
and live as one
He is the Object of our longing, and we're

His creation
We'll have children of The Kingdom
they won't be torn by war, nor will they
Kill or hate or hesitate to love
THE RULE OF LOVE

(Greg and Cilla Shaw)
In the night when no bird sings,
Joy will give our spirit wings.
Who will teach the rule of love
To one and all? 'Abdu'l-Bah.
In the desert where nothing grows,
Patience plants a perfect rose.
When the world is gray with rain,
Wisdom sees a garden green.
SAILOR
A patient man is waiting for something to
appear
Sailor waits there by the sea
For a ship that landed yesterday
But old sailor did not see
Sun is down, another day is done
Or can he face another one?
Sailor's patience never dies,
But he never opens up his eyes.
CHORUS:
Sail on, you are old,
But you're not too old to see
Sailor sits there by the shore
Waiting for that final voyage

On a boat that's come and gone
But old sailor didn't know it.
Sailor is old and he will die
Many ships have passed him by.
He has only but to see
With his heart to be free.
CHORUS
SAVE MY LIFE FOR YOU

(Martin Newman, sheet music in The Bah'
Songbook, Vol. 1)
With a word everything that we've heard was
born
Just the look in Your eye
Is the reason we fly
Into the early dawn
CHORUS:
I will save my life for You
I will save my life for You
All the hurt they gave never stopped You
from saving us
From the darkest night
By the chains You bore
We can step through the door of Light
CHORUS
There is no way out of this world except
through You
And I know we can easily see that's true
If it is at the heart of all we say and do
I can see Your face in a thousand places
every day I wake
Of the gift You bear everyone can share and
take
CHORUS
SAY HI!
(Kathy and Red Grammer, Teaching Peace)
Did you know some folks are shy
When it comes to sayin' 'hi'
They feel funny deep inside
And they turn their heads away
They think no one wants to meet 'em
And nobody really needs 'em
So when you go up to greet 'em
They turn their heads away
CHORUS:
You've gotta stand up tall
Gather up a smile
Take a big breath
Look 'em in the eye and say, 'Hi!'
So take it from your dog or cat
They've got their hellos down pat
Meow, meow, meow, woof, woof, yap, yap
They don't turn their heads away
So when someone is sayin' 'hi'
And it's your turn for feeling shy
You might want to run and hide
But don't turn your head away
CHORUS
So when you're walking down the street
Say hello to those you meet
Don't be looking down at your feet
You've gotta look 'em in the eye and say,
'Hi!'
SEA OF CONSCIOUSNESS
(James Seals & Dash Crofts, Seals & Crofts)
In the sea of consciousness
I knew You, knew You, knew You

You loved me, loved me, loved me
But this world is a dark world
With a black sun, can I run to You?
And ah, just the thought of You
Makes me wander back, to the innocence
You gave me - so long ago - am I
Too late to go?
You called me, called me, called me
I answered, answered, answered
But this world is a dark world
With a black sun, can I run to You?
And You, Perfection's Perfectness
Have the mercy in which we all came
To know You - so long ago - am I
Too late to go?
Sea of consciousness
Am I too late to go?
SEA OF FACES
(by Erin Murray)
Theres a sea of faces
Coloured clothes with pretty laces
Many times I close my eyes
All I see are faces.
Chorus:
So I love you for who you are
Yes, I love you for who you are
Without that love we cant go far
So I just love you for who you are.
Black and white, red and tan,
Theres so many colours of man,
Golden copper to darker hues,
So many colours we cant choose.
Chorus
How many places, can you and I
See all the races, watch spirits fly
Chorus
Whoooaaaaahhhh
SEASONS
(Mimi McClellan)
IN ROUNDS:
I love the springtime and I love the fall
And I love the winter almost best of all
I love the summer even more,
And all the seasons I adore.
God changes seasons, I change clothes,
Off come my over-shoes, and out come my
toes.
The shore of history

The voice you should have heard is in a letter
of the Word, come with me, dear friends,
and you'll see
See my life, as it was yesterday.
See my life, as it was today;
Take my hand and I will show you
Within the moment lies the mystery.
Oh you seek here and yon in your quest
And arrive at the hour of regret.
Come fly without distress to the shelter of
the nest
Close your eyes, your ears, and forget
Forget life, as it was yesterday.
Forget life, as it was today;
Take my hand and I will show you,
Within the moment lies the mystery.
Come behold Him, standing there within,
The Garden of Ridvn, don't join the caravan
I'm sure you'll understand
SEE ME BEAUTIFUL
CHORUS
See me beautiful; look for the best in me

It's what I really am; and all I want to be
It may take some time; it may be hard to find
But see me beautiful
See my life, as it was yesterday

See my life, as it was today. Hey, hey, hey,
hey
Won't you come and come and see my life
My life, my life
See me beautiful each and every day

Could you take a chance, could you find a
way
To see me shining through in everything I do
And see me beautiful?

SEED SONG
I'm a little seed in the warm, dark earth.
Sun will shine and rain will fall to give me
birth.
Up I'll push and burst out from dark to the
light;
Soon you'll see my pretty flowers shining
bright.
Mount your steed and you ride the holy road.

Cause livin' in darkness is a death in His eye.
You just gotta keep on searchin' for that
light.

The Prophet Who has come
And spoken to your heart with Words

And to this world I say
To wake up the weary people, oh such joys

they would find.
If I was a great physician, all the hearts I
would combine.
True love, true love, true love.
Oh, how happy I would be with world unity.
Oh, happy I would be
If I was a servant of mankind,
To smell yellow daffodils on purple hills of
laurely,
To fly above the treetops I would soar with
crystalline wings.

SHINING EYES
I've looked into a million faces
I've seen your smiles, I've seen your frowns
Different colors, all different ages
Right side up and upside down
Each one's been a thing of beauty
Different styles of composition
Let me tell you what I remember
Most of all from my position
Your shining eyes like rays of sunlight
that brighten up the skies
Your shining eyes my heart remembers
when I've seen your shining eyes
It's not the big or the little noses
Whether your chin's sticking in or out
The ebony tones or the blush of roses
Hair straight down or curled about
It's not about whether you have a dimple
Whether you ears grow big or small
Whether your clothes are stylish or simple
The only thing that I recall are
They're the sunrise, the moonglow
They're the fresh breath of spring
They're alive with the beauty that flows
through everything
The whole world seems to sin in your.
Your shining eyes
Your shining eyes

SHINING LAMP

Well is it with him that seeketh the shelter of
his shade

Cause
He is the Priceless Pearl that sparkles in my
life
He is the Fire that keeps me warm
He is a shelter in the time of storm

THE SHORES OF THIS GREAT

OCEAN
Based on Bah' Scriptures
There are writings in the rocks, traces in the
stone,
Signs upon the waters, children of one home.
There are heroes in the mountains.

There's a fire in the sky,
And on the shores of This Great Ocean
Our light is gonna shine.
Lives a family in Brazil, naked children in
the sun
Reaching for tomorrow, the day has finally
come
There are dreams within the old ones;
There are visions in the young.
Their Light has finally come.
Take my hand, you are my sister.
Love's signal sent across the sky.
It's a New Age we're all living in.
It's a New Day, a time to begin,
Time to forgive, time to learn how to live,
together.
There are dreams within the old ones;
There are visions in the young.
From the cities of our
From the islands of the sea
Hands reach across the waters - the human
family
There's a Hand that turns their pages.
There's a fire in their sky,
Our light, God, how it shines!
Sois hojas de un mismo rbol,
y frutos de un mismo huerto.

SIMPLE GIFTS

And when we are in the place just right
We'll be in the valley of love and delight
When true simplicity is gained
To bow and to bend we will not be ashamed
To turn, to turn 'twill be our delight
Till by turning we come 'round right

THE SINGING WIND

(Mrs. Jerald Day, Sheet Music in A New
Wind Blowing)
(CALYPSO)
The wind is singing in the mountains
Across the valleys and the plain,
And calling joyous in the islands,
'Let love and unity reign.
Let love and unity reign.
Let love and unity reign.'
The wind is singing in the mountains,
'Let love and unity reign.'
The crickets crying in the valleys
Can't see the brilliance of the dawn,
Can't hear the singing in the mountains,
'The Promised One is come!
The Promised One is come!
The Promised One is come!'
'Bah'u'llh is come!'
So let us shout it from the mountains,
And fill the world with the song.
Oh, hear the song of the wind,

Come sing the song of the wind,
If you guessed a long long while

So I'll take it out and put it on
It's a great big happy smile.
SLEEP SOFTLY, CHILD

(Joanne Barrell, We Will Have A School . .
Louhelen)
SOIS LOS FRUT0S [YE ARE THE

FRUITS]
Words by Bah'u'llh (Music: Nuriyeh
McLaren)
Sleep softly, child of the Golden Age,

as the Old World slips away.
Listen above the fire and the storm,
you can hear God's people pray.
Sois los frutos de un solo rbol,

y las hojas de una sola rama.
Proceded unos con otros
con extremo amor y armona.
Fierce are the fires that rage tonight

as the cities start to die.
Fear rages, too, in the hearts of men
as they seek the reason why.
['Ye are the fruits of one tree,

and the leaves of one branch.
Deal ye one with another
with the utmost love and harmony.']
Dark are the storms of birth and death,

as a New World begins to rise.
A phoenix from the ashes and flames,
beheld by illumined eyes!
Shall we then grieve for this night of pain
that imprisons the hearts of men?
Look to the dawn of the Golden Day,
bringing peace and joy again!
Sleep softly, child, 'til the sunrise comes
and all men know the day.
Wake to the song of Unity
as together all men pray.

And like a thief in the night, He came by the
Gate
And said He was the Promised One
CHORUS:
Oh We are soldiers in God's army
We gotta stop and teach the Word for now
We gotta hold up love and unity
We gotta hold it up until we die
I've got something in my pocket

That belongs upon my face
I keep it very close at hand
In a most convenient place
Bah'u'llh was the Prophet

He had the Word that is right for now
And when the road got rough and the going
got tough
He just stood there and taught anyhow
I think you wouldn't guess it
CHORUS
'Abdu'l-Bah was the Servant

SON OF JUSTICE
(Words by Bah'u'llh
Music by Angela Wood, Horizons)
O Son of Justice!
Whither can a lover go but to the land of his
beloved?
And what seeker findeth rest away from his
heart's desire?
To the true lover reunion is life,
and separation is death.
His breast is void of patience
and his heart hath no peace.
A myriad lives he would forsake,
to hasten to the abode of his beloved.
CHORUS:
Open your eyes. Open your ears.
Don't be afraid. It's no time for tears.
It's time for love, love.
The message was clear to the pure in heart.
They rose up to defend Him. The jealous
and angry men in power decided to destroy
Him. But He said:
CHORUS
BRIDGE: (spoken)
The government officials and the clergy
were enraged by the power of this Young
Man's words and actions, by the spread of
His new religion. So they gathered together
to decide what to do, and whispered among
themselves words such as these:
What can we do to keep the flame of love
from spreading heart to heart? The fire's
now raging out of control. We should have
stopped it from the start. Take Him. Chain
Him. Hide Him from the people. Put Him
in prison, and put Him to death.
A martyr's life was His final fate. They
thought it would stop the fire. The message
lives on in the hearts of those who still can
hear Him crying: When He said,

SONG IN MY HEART
(Mark Spiro & Tony Marty, Parrish &
Toppano - The Shores of This Great Ocean)
Some say the road to love is long,
You never know when the journey ends;
Only we live to love in the world
Here in our arms and gone again
CHORUS:
There's a song inside my heart
Its melody rings so right and true.
It is a song full of precious love,
Singing now since I found you.
'Cause in your eyes
I see the bright star
Shining like a mirror to my soul
You're my guiding light
I cling to every night.
You're the part of me that makes me whole.
CHORUS
I can't believe the things you see in me.
You always love me just the way I am.
And every single night
I pray with all my might
The song inside my heart will never end.
Ah . . .(INSTRUMENTAL)
CHORUS
I found you.
SONG OF JOB
(* Words: Jim Roberts, Music: Andy
Kulberg)
Satan went to God, and God said, 'Satan,
where you been?'
Satan said, ' I been on earth among men.'
Well, God said, 'You must have seen my

faithful servant Job;
You must have seen his worth, and how he's
evil's foe,
Job is evil's foe.'
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Ol' Satan said, 'A-well, yes, God, Job is Your
man,
But if You struck him, God, well what would
he do then?
He'd turn his back on You and curse Your
name right to Your face!'
God said, 'All right, Bub, go and test his
faith;
Go and try Job's faith.'
(INSTRUMENTAL)
'Oh, my God, oh, my God, cried poor Job,
I have lost everything I owned;
I lost my cattle, I lost my land; You took my
children, too
I'm losin' my mind and the love of my wife,
but I keep my faith in You,
I still have faith in You.'
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Oh, my God, oh my God, can't You hear
Job?
He's singin' 'This world can no more be my
home!
My so called 'friends' speak biting words,
tellin' me what to do.
My health is gone, I cannot rest, but I keep
my faith in You.
I still have faith in You.'
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Young man lectured Job until Job's poor
heart near broke.
And from the whirlin' wind God Himself

spoke, sayin':
Who are these who claim to know My
workin's and all My ways?
Job has proved his faith and shall live joyous
days.'
Yes, Job lived joyful days.

Soul man in a techno world
It seems a little bizarre
I'm just a soul man & these numbers

Don't fill up my heart

With someone else and still be worlds apart
They can know you're license number, date

THE SOUL IS THE SUN

(Nancy Ward, We Want to Grow Up, Sheet
music in The Bah' Songbook, Vol. 1)
(SING A, THEN B, THEN A & B AS A
ROUND):
A: The soul is the sun and the earth is the
body,
The soul is the light and the body is the
lamp,
The soul is the flame and the body is the
candle,
The soul is the bird and the body is the cage,
B: It shines, it flows, it flies, it glows,
It shines, it flows, it flies, it glows.
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
SOUND OF SILENCE
(Paul Simon)
CHORUS:
Hello, darkness, my old friend.
I've come to talk with you again;
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping;
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone narrow
streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a
neon light That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence.
"Fools!" said I, "You do not know
Silence, like a cancer, grows."
"Hear my words that I might teach you;
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed in the wells of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming;
And the signs said "The words of the
prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"

SPEAK TO THE SKY

(Rick Springfield)
Speak to the Sky whenever things go wrong
And you'll know you're not talkin' to the air,
to the air,
And the world will look better from up there.
Speak to the Sky 'cause things can get you
down
And you'll know when you're talkin' to the
Lord,
to the Lord,
The world will look better than before.
CHORUS:
And if I stumble and it seems that I am blind
Or if the road I'm on seems awful hard to
find,
And though my conversation doesn't always
rhyme
I always try to find some time
To speak to the Sky and tell You how I feel
And You know sometimes what I say ain't

right,
It's alright 'cause I speak to the Sky ev'ry
night.
CHORUS
THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS

EVERYWHERE

The Spirit of the Lord is everywhere,
It's everywhere, everywhere, everywhere.
That spirit makes me want to move my feet,
O Lord . . .
That spirit makes me want to clap my hands,
O Lord . . .
I can feel that spirit moving in my soul,
O Lord . . .
The Spirit of the Bah'u'llh is everywhere, .

It's everywhere, everywhere, everywhere.
SPIRIT SONG
(Bill Staines)
There stands a misty mountain in the soft and
gentle rain
Against the flight of endless time, forever to
remain
Through all the passing seasons, though
every night and day
I can see that mist mountain, and I feel the

Spirit say:
Oh brother, don't you weep
Oh brother, don't you weep no more
Sun's gonna shine on a golden shore
Oh brother, don't you weep
Oh sister, don't you weep
Up the rocky roads of trouble and down the
twisted paths of pain
Sometimes it is a struggle, sometime we
come up lame
But with children on our shoulders, we face
another day
And through their shining eyes of innocence
I can feel the Spirit say:
Oh father, don't you weep
Oh mother, don't you weep
When there's music all around you, and you
just don't seem to hear
When the answer's just around the bend, but
it never shows up clear
When there's darkness right about you, it's
hard to know and understand
That there's a heart out there that loves you,
and there's a promise in your hand
Oh people, don't you weep
SPIRIT'S SUN
(Candy Voigt, We Will Have A School . . .
Louhelen)
Here's some milk and honey. There's raisins
in a bowl.
And a quilted blanket if you get cold.
And the flowers you see here have been
planted by hand;
And the people who breathe here believe in a

soul
And that's what makes them whole.
Now the same sun rises that has set
yesterday;
And it continues to give life to the living
today.
And if you want to be happy you've got to
take hold
Of your Spirit's Sun, your Spirit's Sun.
Serve, serve your fellow man.
Raise the heavenly heartbeat in every land.
This is a naturalist's song; it's very simple,
but whole,
And it comes very easy when you live and
let flow
All your lovely potentials.
Recognize and lay hold
Of your Spirit's Sun, your Spirit's Sun.

It's not the way that you say you care.
It's not the way you hold me tight.
It's not your face in the moonlight.
It's not the charm in your smile.
It's not the way of your style.

It's a spiritual attraction
Beyond the physical side
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,oh-oh, yeah, . . .
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,oh-oh,
It's not the way that you walk.
It's not the way that you double talk (double
talk).
It's not the way that you sing.
It's not the gifts that you bring.
It's not your kiss in the night,
Under the moonlight

Can't buy me, honey

I see another side
Another side of you

twinkling like scattered diamonds
Are the footprints mine?
Or is it a child of the kingdom

Behind people's backs
If I have a problems with someone
I go right to them and get on track

Each person is an individual
I refuse to prejudge them

Sometimes you stand alone

Won't you listen to the sounds of the sufferin'
people
And feel for all people on this earth?

Stared out the window the better part of a

Let us stop in the name of God

Let us look through the eyes of His grace
Let us listen to the plan of Bah'u'llh
And feel for the whole human race
STORMING THE GATES OF HEAVEN

Songbook, Vol. 1)
Do you have time to listen to what I have to
say?
STRANGELY WRAPPED GIFT

World)
She had to open the door a little wider now

She had to dig alittle deeper inside her
somehow
She walked into the fire alone and scared
stiff
Now she sees his leaving was a strangely
wrapped gift
Little Jamie's body has never worked right

He's never had the peace of sleeping straight
through the night
His parents get weary and his parents get
worn
Still they always bless the day that little
Jamie was born
He opens the door a little wider now
Lifts them up a little higher somehow
It may look to the world like a 24 hour shift
But his folks know life with Jamie's just a
strangely wrapped gift
What is it that we're really made of?
How else will we ever know?
Till the Hand puts us in the Fire....
Do we burn or do we glow?
The box on my doorstep looks sad and
forlorn
The wrapping paper's faded, it's tattered and
torn
For a moment I wonder what on earth it
might be
Till I see the tag and realize it's made out to
me
It's gonna open the door a little wider now
It's gonna lift me up a little higher somehow
I used to run like the blazes, now I get the
drift
Someone who loves me sent me a strangely
wrapped gift....
Someone who loves me...
Someone who really, really loves me...
Someone who loves me sent me a strangely
wrapped gift

(Verse 1 Words by Shoghi Effendi,
Dawnbreakers - on the love of Bah'u'llh
for the Bb; Verse 2 Words by Bah'u'llh Love Me That I May Love Thee in French;
Such love no eye has ever beheld, nor has
mortal heart conceived
Such mutual devotion, if the branches of
every tree were turned into pens
And all the seas into ink, and earth and
heaven rolled into one parchment,
The immensity of that love would still
remain unexplored, and the depths
Of that devotion unfathomed
O Fils de lExistence! Aime-moi pour que
je taime; si tu ne Maime pas,
Je ne pourrai jamais taimer. Comprends-le,
o serviteur !

CHORUS:

Blue skies far as you see
One day you'll know what the future means
And carry your broken dreams
Through the valley
And rest in their peace
One fine beautiful day
You'll find more than you need
You'll see the writing is on the wall
Plainly telling you that it's all
Waiting for you; it's all there for free
It's all waiting for you; it's all there for free
CHORUS
There's a dark and a troubled side of life.

There's a bright and a sunny side, too.
Though we meet with the darkness and
strife.
The sunny side we also may view.
CHORUS:
Keep on the sunny side.
Always on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side of life.
It will help us every day.
It will brighten all the way
If we keep on the sunny side of life.
The storm, with its fury, broke today,
Dashing hopes that we treasured so dear.
Clouds and storms will, in time, pass away.
The sun, again, will shine bright as day.
Let us greet, with a song, hope each day
Though the moment be cloudy or fair.
Let us trust in the Savior to save,
Keepeth everyone in His care.
SUNRISE
(Gordon Butler, Come and Sing)
Sunrise, sunrise
Bathe the world in glistening light
Dispel the darkness of the night
And cause the stars to stop shining
Slowly dawning
Turn a lighter shade of dark
Roosters crowed and dogs did bark,
But the world was still sleeping.
Wake up, won't you please?
Wake up, cries the sun through the trees.
But the trees are so thick
That you can't see the woods for the trees
And nobody sees that there is a New Tree
With Its roots planted firmly in the ground
And It rises above the ground

And spreads Its branches to cover humanity.
Allh-u-Abh, Y Bah'u'l-Abh

As the dusk spreads across the sky
Look around and wonder why

Let the sunshine into your heart

Give yourself a beautiful view
Open yourself to the world waiting for you
What'll you do

TABLET OF AHMAD
Tablet by Bah'u'llh
(Music: Red Grammer, Tablet Of Ahmad )
Spoken: He is the King, the All-Knowing,
the Wise!
Lo, the Nightingale of Paradise singeth upon

the twigs of the Tree of Eternity, with holy
and sweet melodies, proclaiming to the
sincere ones the glad tidings of the
nearness of God, calling the believers in
the Divine Unity to the court of the
Presence of the Generous One, informing
the severed ones of the message which hath
been revealed by God, the King, the
Glorious, the Peerless, guiding the lovers
to the seat of sanctity and to this
resplendent Beauty.
Verily this is that Most Great Beauty,
foretold in the Books of the Messengers,
through Whom truth shall be distinguished
from error and the wisdom of every
command shall be tested. Verily He is the
Tree of Life that bringeth forth the fruits of
God, the Exalted, the Powerful, the Great.
O Ahmad! Bear thou witness that verily He
is God and there is no God but Him, the
King, the Protector, the Incomparable, the
Omnipotent. And that the One Whom He
hath sent forth by the name of Ali was the
true One from God, to Whose commands
we are all conforming.
Say: O people be obedient to the ordinances
of God, which have been enjoined in the
Bayn by the Glorious, the Wise One.
Verily He is the King of the Messengers
and His book is the Mother Book did ye
but know.
Thus doth the Nightingale utter His call unto
you from this prison. He hath but to deliver
this clear message. Whosoever desireth, let
him turn aside from this counsel and
whosoever desireth let him choose the path
to his Lord.
O people, if ye deny these verses, by what

proof have ye believed in God? Produce it,
O assemblage of false ones.
Nay, by the One in Whose hand is my soul,
they are not, and never shall be able to do
this, even should they combine to assist
one another.
O Ahmad! Forget not My bounties while I
am absent. Remember My days during thy
days, and My distress and banishment in
this remote prison. And be thou so
steadfast in My love that thy heart shall not
waver, even if the swords of the enemies
rain blows upon thee and all the heavens
and the earth arise against thee.
Be thou as a flame of fire to My enemies and
a river of life eternal to My loved ones, and
be not of those who doubt.
And if thou art overtaken by affliction in My
path, or degradation for My sake, be not
thou troubled thereby.
Rely upon God, thy God and the Lord of thy
fathers. For the people are wandering in the
paths of delusion, bereft of discernment to
see God with their own eyes, or hear His
Melody with their own ears. Thus have We
found them, as thou also dost witness.
Thus have their superstitions become veils
between them and their own hearts and
kept them from the path of God, the
Exalted, the Great.
Be thou assured in thyself that verily, he who
turns away from this Beauty hath also
turned away from the Messengers of the
past and showeth pride towards God from
all eternity to all eternity.
Learn well this Tablet, O Ahmad. Chant it

during thy days and withhold not thyself
therefrom. For verily, God hath ordained
for the one who chants it, the reward of a
hundred martyrs and a service in both
worlds. These favors have We bestowed
upon thee as a bounty on Our part and a
mercy from Our presence, that thou mayest
be of those who are grateful.
By God! Should one who is in affliction or
grief read this Tablet with absolute
sincerity, God will dispel his sadness, solve
his difficulties and remove his afflictions.
Verily, He is the Merciful, the
Compassionate. Praise be to God, the Lord
of all the worlds.
TABLET OF VISITATION
Tablet by 'Abdu'l-Bah
Spoken: He is the All-Glorious!
O God, my God! Lowly and tearful,
I raise my suppliant hands to Thee and cover
my face in the dust of that Threshold of
Thine, exalted above the knowledge of the
learned, and the praise of all that glorify
Thee.
Graciously look upon Thy servant, humble
and lowly at Thy door, with the glances of
the eye of Thy mercy, and immerse him in
the Ocean of Thine eternal grace.
Give me thy grace to serve Thy loved ones,

strengthen me in my servitude to Thee,
illumine my brow with the light of
adoration
in Thy court of holiness,
and of prayer to Thy kingdom of grandeur.
Help me to be selfless at the heavenly
entrance of Thy gate, and aid me to be
detached from all things within thy holy
precincts. Lord!
Give me to drink from the chalice of
selflessness; with its robe clothe me, and in
its ocean immerse me.
Make me as dust in the pathway of Thy
loved ones, and grant that I may offer up
my soul
for the earth ennobled by the footsteps
of Thy chosen ones in Thy path,
O Lord of Glory in the Highest (In the
Highest)
With this prayer doth Thy servant call Thee,
at dawntide and in the night-season.
Fulfill his heart's desire, O Lord!
Illumine his heart, gladden his bosom, kindle
his light, that he may serve Thy Cause and
Thy servants.
Thou art the Bestower, the Pitiful, the Most
Bountiful, the Gracious, the Merciful, the
Compassionate.
THIRIH
(Mary Davis, Sheet music in The Bah'
Songbook, Vol. 1)
Lord! He is a poor and lowly servant of

Thine,
enthralled and imploring Thee, captive in
Thy hand, praying fervently to Thee and
beseeching Thee, saying:
CHORUS:
Thirih the pure one
Consolation of the eyes
What I would give to meet you now
While my life is new
O Lord, my God!
You had the strength I pray for
The courage that life calls for

The master that I too adore
Revealed Himself to you
In a dream He stood perfection
Your life it changed direction
You knew it then, your life would end
To glorify His name
Thirih my sister
What right have I to call you so?
Unworthy of the dust beneath your feet
I am I know
With eloquence you stirred them
Your boldness it perturbed them
Your vision reached beyond their ken
To worlds your eyes behold
And your deed would be the trumpet blast
To shake foundations of the past
And lay the groundwork that would last
For centuries to come
You were all a woman
Could hope to attain
On this earthly plane
And my chosen path
Is the shadow you cast
In the brilliance of
His boundless love
Thirih the letter
No friendly eye could bear your fate
No mortal tongue can thus relate
The evil done to you
You stood before your enemy
And held yourself with dignity
No man could match your bravery
Your final words were sure
And unknowing of your station
The point of adoration
Your crime they'd say with life you'd paid
Was a fearless love of truth
THIRIH
(Mimi McClellan)
CHORUS:
Thirih, heroine of T,
She gave her life for Bah'u'llh
Thirih, solace of the eyes,
She's with the Bb in paradise.
She gave up fame and fortune.
She gave up hearth and home.
She had to tell the people the Promised One
had come!
She taught the Faith in Karbil and Baghdad
and Qasvin.
In Kermanshah and Hamadan and many
towns between.
CHORUS
The magistrates and clergy, they hated what
she said.
They punished and stoned her
And laid curses on her head!
There was a conference at Badasht,
Thirih shocked them all!
She took the veil from her face
And raised a mighty call!
CHORUS
And finally they killed her, for what she had
to tell.
They put a cord around her neck and threw
her in a well!
They may have killed her body,
And for that the world cries!
But Thirih lives forever in the hearts of all
Bah's!
CHORUS

TAKE A LITTLE TIME (REVERENCE)
Take a little time to be still
Take a little time to find peace
Take a little time to listen
Take a little time to remember
Who you really are
You really are a gift to the world
A child of Spirit
Take a little time to know Love
Take a little time to rejoice
Take a little time for reverence
TAKE A WALK
and Reindeer Milk)
We'll be sure we're not gone long;

And if we're dry and need a drink,
We'll bring along the kitchen sink;
And if our stomachs start to cry,
We'll bring along some pumpkin pie.
CHORUS
And if we're walking in the night,
We'll bring along a flashlight;
And if it's late and really dark,
We'll take our dog so he can bark;
And if the moon is on the rise,
We'll bring my mom 'cuz she's so wise;
And if it's really really scary,
We'll take my dad 'cuz he's so hairy.
CHORUS
How'd ya like to take a walk?
CHORUS:
How'd ya' like to take a walk?
We could walk and we could talk.
We could gawk and we could squawk.
So, how'd ya' like to take a walk?
And if it's snowing from the sky,
We'll dress warm and we'll stay dry;
And if the snow gets in our hair,
We'll wear a hat and bring a spare.
And if it's coverin' up the rocks,
We'll wear an extra pair of socks;
And if it's snowing really hard,
We'll bring along a Saint Bernard.
CHORUS
And if it's really really hot,
We'll try to find a shady spot;
And if the sun is burning strong,
TAKE CARE (CARING)

CHORUS:
Be Gentle, be loving and
Handle with care
Those who need tender
Attention and care
Take care of yourself
Take care of your loved ones
Take care of those suffering
Alone or in pain
CHORUS
TAKE THE TIME OUT

Lying out on the street, there's a man
That needs somewhere to sleep
And a bag-lady digs through the trash
Hoping to find some food to eat
In the cold winter's snow walks a boy
That needs shoes for his feet
In an old run-down house, there's a child
In a crib that needs some heat
In the dark of the night, a young man
Searches for a guiding light
And a young woman cries, in despair
Cause she feels alone in life
You might ask yourself what in the *[world]
Does that have to do with me
Well, here's your wake-up call . . .
'Everything!'
Cause we all play a part in each other's
existence
CHORUS:
Take the time out to love someone
Reach your arms out and hug someone
Be it king or some homeless one
We are all one underneath the sun
Take the time out to be right there
Take the time out to show you care
You'll be so glad when the day is done
You took the time out to love someone
There's a man in a house where they're
selling crack
Yet he's trying to be strong
But when lost in the sea of no hope
He must be saved from wrong
Don't say what you won't do, if for days
You had no food to eat
Nor extremes you won't go, for a bed, shoes
Or if your baby needed heat
You do not have the right to pre-judge
If you don't share your strength
And you can't say you're down for the fight

If you won't go the length
Now I don't really care what you feel
If you don't feel for life
And don't care what you think if your words
Don't have ways and actions that perpetuate
life
CHORUS
I think it's time to . . .

TALK ABOUT LOVE

(R. Gregory Shaw)
CHORUS:
Talk about love, talk about love.
It's a world of plenty when we talk about
love.
No pocket goes empty, when the people do
care.
Don't talk about love, if you don't want to
share.
If I got the nickel and my buddy got none,
He got the trouble and I got the fun.
But if it was me, sitting in his chair,
I'd be hoping that I knew how to share.
CHORUS
You got a secret and you're keeping me out,
I'm in the corner with my face in a pout.
You put on your petticoat, scrub your face
clean
But you'll never be happy if your heart feels
mean.
Well, a language that we all can speak

Male and female equality
Prejudice is wrong
Religion and science both agree
About the oneness of humanity
God's teaching causes harmony,
Just like this song.
CHORUS
CHORUS
TALKING BLUES/ THE SPIRIT'S THE

SAME/ KRISHNA, BUDDHA,
ZOROASTER
(Marv Dreyer & Richard Grover, Canta esa
meloda/Sing this Melody)
Honesty, integrity, chastity, humility Our actions should cause unity.

We ought to shine like a star.
So that when we're walking down the street,
All the people around can plainly see
That we believe in unity.
They'll know who we are.
CHORUS:
Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster
Abraham, Moses, Christ,
Mohammad, The Bb, Bah'u'llh,
The Spirit's the same.
Bah'u'llh's teachings, for today,
Tell us to look to the Spirit,
Not to worship the name.
CHORUS
We've got automobiles, we've got electric

lights.
You can fly around and see the sights..
We've got world movements for human
rights.
You can take a trip to the moon.
Now there's some people say, 'These are
terrible times'
But it's a brand new world, friend,
These are the signs.
This life's too great to just resign.
Better investigate soon.
Day is done, gone the sun

From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
TAPS
Fading light dims the sight
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright;
From afar drawing nigh, falls the night.
Thanks and praise for our days

'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, 'neath the
sky;
As we go, this we know: God is nigh.
TEACH US OF THY UNITY

Words adapted from a prayer of Bah'u'llh
(Music: Gregory Shaw)
CHORUS
What are these truths that we all should
seek?
2 GROUPS TOGETHER:
O thou Who art our life and light,
Guide Thy servants in Thy way
And make us rich in Thee and free

Teach us of Thy unity
IN ROUNDS, GROUP 1, SING 1ST LINE,
THEN GROUP 2:
That we see no one save Thee
Reveal Thine eternity
Thou hast been, wilt ever be
Comfort will we find in Thee
Glory be, O God, to Thee
TEACH YOUR CHILDREN

(Graham Nash)
You who are on the road
Must have a code
That you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a goodbye.
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you.
Teach your children well
Their father's hell
Will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick
The one you'll know by
(BRIDGE AND INTERLUDE)
And you, of the tender years
Can't know the fears
That your elders grew by
And so please help them with your youth
they seek the truth
Before they can die.

Teach your parents well
Their children's hell
Will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The on they pick
The one you'll know by.
TEACHING PEACE
CHORUS:
Teaching peace all the world around
You and me, every city, every town
One by one in our work and in our play
We are teaching peace by what we do and
what we say
It's up to us to show we care
Reaching out to everybody everywhere
Heart to heart and friend to friend
Circling all around the world and back again
CHORUS
So take my hand and come along
It's time to sing the world a brand new song
So sing it loud and sing it clear
All together now so everyone can hear
CHORUS
Sound off! One, two, three, four . . .
So take my hand and come along
It's time to sing the world a brand new song
So sing it loud and sing it clear
All together now so everyone can hear
CHORUS
TELL THE TRUTH

Kids)
CHORUS:
When you tell the truth, (twice)
You win peoples trust, (twice)
Always tell the truth,
You must, you must.
When you tell the truth, youll never feel
ashamed.
God will be pleased with you.
If you tell a lie, you surely will be blamed,
And maybe lose a friend or two.
CHORUS
TELL THE WONDROUS STORY

CHORUS:
Tell the wondrous story
Tell it near and far
Of the loving Father
Of Bah'u'llh
Tell it, ever tell it
That all men may know
Now has come God's kingdom
On this earth below
CHORUS
10,000 WOMEN (SHE WANTS A

WORLD)
(Gordi Munro, The Gift)
They come from London, Moscow and
Copenhage
From Switzerland, Pakistan and Mexico
From Canada, USA, France and Buenos
Aires
To Africa from all corners of the globe

They came with passion and determination
They came with vision, they came with a
goal
CHORUS:
She wants a world free from the pain
She wants a world that won't be ashamed
She wants a world free from disease
She wants a world that will comfort me
She wants a world filled with love
A safe place for everyone
Yes, they gathered under the blue skies of
Nairobi
Dressed in denim, dressed in silk and satin
robes
Some were poor, some were rich
And some were famous
Some had power and some wanted more
control
(10,000 women on the move with their own
story
10,000 women in the struggle as one)
Some fought for their lives, some for more
luxuries
Some fought each other, blinded by
ideologies
CHORUS
She is the one who rocked me in the cradle
Held my hand as I rose from the floor
She is the one who nursed my thirsty
moments
The one whose heart always has an open
door
She is the one who will education my
children
She is the one who will end all war
She is the one to teach us love and
compassion
They are the ones who need an equal voice
One voice, one force

You and I, we've got a choice
One force, one voice
You and I
TEND THE GARDEN

Words from 'Abdu'l-Bah
At the gate of the garden some stand and
look within,
But do not care to enter.
Others step inside, behold its beauty,
But do not penetrate far.
Others encircle the garden, inhaling the
fragrance of the flowers,
Having enjoyed its full beauty, pass out
again by the same gate.
But there are always those who enter,
Become intoxicated with the splendor of
what they behold,
Who will remain for life to tend the garden.
May He free you from unhappiness, to shine

again.
May you dream in all the love His ocean
holds for you.
May you gaze upon the Face of the
Everlasting Friend.
THANK YOU
(Doug Cameron, We are Bah's, Too!)
Thank you for the green fields
Thank you for the blue sky
Thank you for the sunlight
Thank you for the moonshine

Thank you for the love you bring
Thank you for the stormy night
Thank you for the snowy white
Thank you for the desert wind
Thank you when the day begins
TENDER YEARS
Tender years, awake and sing,
Your Lord is here to teach you everything.
Roses of His garden, look the Sun is here.
Flowers of His meadow, feel the gentle rain.
He has guided you, the sleeping, in the
stormy night
To deliver you from darkness to a brilliant
light,
To deliver you from darkness to a brilliant
light.
Tender years, before you sleep we'll sing,
But your Lord will be here to teach you
everything.
May He guard your eyes, that He is all you
see.

THAT IS HOW BAHS SHOULD BE

I love the Master,
The Master loves me.
He shows me how Bahs should be.
Trusting in God faithfully,
That is how Bahs should be.
I love the Master,

Praying for guidance constantly,
I love the Master,
Gods will, not my will, my prayer will be,
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD

There is only one God throughout the
universe,
But man multiplied Him, and so
Theres a your God, a my God,
What mankind has to learn,
Is that there is only one God to know.
There is only one race of men upon the earth,
But man did divide it, and so
Theres a black race, a white race,
What mankind has to learn
Is that there is only one race to know.
Earth was one country when God gave it to
man,
But man did divide it, and so
Theres a China, a Turkey,
Is that Earth is one country to know.
Religions are one as the prophets all have
sung,
But mankind denied them, and so
Theres a just my religion,
Is that religions are one thing to know.
There is only oneness throughout the worlds

of God,
But man wont believe it, and so
He divides and multiplies it,
Oh, wont he ever learn
That there is only oneness to know.
There's a new day dawning

That belongs to you and me.
There's a new world coming
The one we've had visions of
Coming in peace, coming in joy, coming in
love.
THERE'S A NEW WIND BLOWIN'

(Phil Lucas & Russ Garcia, Sheet Music in
A New Wind Blowing)
CHORUS:
There's a new wind blowin' across the sea.
There's a new wind blowin', a callin' me.
It's a new way for a new day
Gonna' set all men free.
It makes you strong as a mountain, move like
the sea,
With wings like a bird flying through
eternity.
CHORUS
It sings of love and one world, and one
mankind,
With no more war, we will all have peace of
mind.
THEY CAN'T TAKE MY LOVE FROM

YOU
Your Heart, they tried to crush
Your home, they turned into dust.
CHORUS:
But they can't take your mornings,
For sunrise cannot be caught.
And they can't take your evenings,
For sundown just will not be bought.
I in your mornings am hoping to find life
within.
I in your evenings like summertime
Coming with a friend.
They can't take my love from you.
Your friends they put in the ground.
Your words - they've turned them around.
CHORUS
THERE'S A NEW WORLD COMING
THINE EYE IS MY TRUST

(Based on words by Bahaullah, Music by
R. Gregory Shaw & Joy Allchin)

And it's just around the bend.
This one's coming to an end.
There's a new voice calling
You can hear it if you try.
And it's growing stronger
Every day that's passing by.
Thine eye is My trust, suffer not the dust

To becloud its luster, let its beauty shine.
Thine ear is to hear, My Word is always
near,
Let the wayward fear this great and mighty
sign.
There's a brand new morning

Rising clear and sweet and free.
CHORUS:
I am in thee, thou art My mystery
The lover and the loved are one, brighter

than the sun.
This is faith
Thy hand I have made to cast away the jade

Of a world soon to fade, let your fingers
cling to Me.
Thine heart is My store, I wait behind its
door,
No one can love thee more, keep safe My
treasury.
THIS IS THE DAY
THIS IS FAITH
Words from a poem by Amatu'l-Bah
Ruhiyyih Khanum-Rabbani (Music by Laura
Lee and Lucy Shropshire, This is Faith)
To walk where there is no path
To breathe where there is no air
To see where there is no light
This is faith
This is the day, this is the day

This is the day of love
This is the day of unity
This is the great, great day
CHORUS:
So, come on everybody, let's show our love,
Show our love to mankind
Come on everybody, let's show our love,
Show our love to mankind
This is the day of joy
This is the day of fellowship,
Fellowship and joy
CHORUS
To cry in the silence, the silence of the night,

and hearing no echo, believe, and believe
again and again
To hold pebbles and see jewels
To raise sticks and see forests
To smile with weeping eyes
This is faith
To say, God, I believe, when others deny
I hear when there is no answer
I see though naught is seen
This is faith.
And the fierce love in the heart, the savage
love that cries hidden Thou art
Yet there, I believe You are there
This is Faith
Veil Thy Face and mute Thy Tongue
Yet I see and hear Thee love
Beat me down to the bare earth
Yet I raise and love Thee Love

This is the day of God
This is the day of Bah'u'llh
This is the great, great day
CHORUS
THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND

(Woodie Guthrie, Fred Penner - A House
For Me)
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream
waters
This land was made for you and me
As I was walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley

I've roamed and rambled and followed my
footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond
deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
When the sun came shining and I was
strolling
In the wheat fields waving and the dust
clouds rolling
A voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE

CHORUS:
This little light of mine, Lord,
Im gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, Lord,
Im gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
All over the world now,
Im gonna let it shine
All over the world now,
Put it under a bushel, ..No!
Put it under a bushel, ..No!
You cant blow my little light out,
You cant blow my little light out,
CHORUS
THIS PRETTY PLANET

This pretty planet spinning in space
Youre a garden, youre a harbor, youre a
holy place
Golden sun going down, gentle blue giant
spin us around
All through the night, safe till the morning
light
THOU ART BUT ONE STEP AWAY

Words: Bah'u'llh, The Hidden Words,
Persian # 7 (Music: Graham Major, Songs
of the Ancient Beauty Vol.II)
Thou art but one step away from the glorious
heights above and from the celestial tree of
love.
Take thou one pace and with the next
advance into the immortal realm and enter
the pavilion of eternity.
O Son of Love!
Give ear, give ear, then to that which hath
been revealed, revealed by the pen of
glory.
Thou art but one step away.
THOU ART MY LAMP

Bah'u'llh, the Hidden Words, Arabic #11
O Son of Being!
Get thou from it thy radiance and
seek none other than Me.
For I have created thee rich and have
bountifully shed My favor upon thee.
THE THREE WIVES OF ABRAHAM

(Debbie Stewart)
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 - They did the
same.
Then came Jesus with the dove,
To teach us the Word and the Word was
Love.
With Muhammad Prophetic Cycle then was
sealed.
A New World Order has been revealed
Through the Bb, the Gate, Bah'u'llh, the
Pen,
It shall be on earth as it is in heaven.
CHORUS
THY NAME
(Words by Bah'u'llh,
Thy Name is my Healing Thy name is my
healing, O my God, and remembrance of
Thee
Is my remedy. Nearness to thee is my hope,
and love for Thee Is my companion.
Thy mercy to me is my healing, And my
succour in both this world and the world to
come,
And the world to come Thou, verily, art the
All-Bountiful, the All-Knowing, the AllWise
TILL THEN
World)
They say Amadeus simply wrote down what
he heard
Not a single change, not a second thought
He must have been one worthy vessel
I don't know, maybe if I let go a lot
It shall be on earth as it is in heaven.
THY HEART IS MY HOME

Words of Bah'u'llh
(Music by Matthew Freeman, Sheet music in
the Bah' Songbook, Vol. 1)
Thy heart is My home
Sanctify it for My descent
Thy spirit is My place of revelation
Cleanse it for My Manifestation
CHORUS:
But till then I'll scratch for every bit of
meaning
Till then I'll wrestle every rhyme
And once in a while when heaven smiles on
me
I get to watch them shine, they shine
Someday the words will flow like water
They'll make perfect sense with every
melody
I'll be hard pressed to sing them all
So awash in songs I'll be
CHORUS
It's worth it every single chance
I get to do this crazy dance

You'd think by now I'd know just how it
goes...
I do not know!
Somedays I feel like I'm wasting my time
It's all smoke... never any light
All my life I've prayed to be a fire in the
darkness
I don't know maybe one day I just might
CHORUS
God made us humans from His love, He has

a special plan
He gave of month of fasting for strength and
discipline
THE TIME TO BE HAPPY

The time to be happy Is now
The place to be happy is here
And the way to be happy is to make someone
happy
And to bring a little heaven down here
TIME IS A ONE TIME THING

Time is a one time thing. This is the song
we sing.
Time is a one time thing. This is the song
we sing.
Time is now. Time is then.
Time, it will be when.
Time was before. Time is forever.
Soul is a curious thing. . . .
Love is a beautiful thing. . . .
Man is a wonderful thing. . . .
Now it's time and we all are here.
Now it's time and we all are here.
Let all men be drawing near.
Let all men be drawing near.
Let the love within reach out.
Let the love within reach out.
For you know that love binds us together.
Time is a one time thing. . . .
THE TIME OF PREPARATION

Ayym-i-H's a joyous time, a time of
preparation
A special month is soon to come, for us a
new creation
A TIME TO GIVE (AYYM-I-H)

(Marie Gervais, Feast at My House)
A time to give, a time to share
A time to show we really care
CHORUS:
Ayym-i-H, a time to give
Ayym-i-H, a time to share
Ayym-i-H, a time to care, Ayym-i-H
A time to help someone in need
A time to smile and joke awhile
CHORUS
Friends to see, gifts to make
So many tasty things to bake
CHORUS
These four days
We celebrate with all our friends
Then we fast and pray
The snow will melt, and leaves turn green
And flowers grow, yes, this I know.
CHORUS

TO TEACH IS TO LEARN
(from the Bah Writings)
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 realms.
TO THOSE WHO DIE

In darkness you lay sleeping
Dreaming dreams of oceans singing
Never knowing you must die
For above the womb that warmed you
Lay a heart so sear and lost
It felt that it must kill you
No matter what the cost
God's gift meant to be joyful
With never a chance to laugh
God's grace given to the hopeful
Now dreams in ruins crashed
In darkness you lay sleeping
Dreaming dreams of oceans singing
Never knowing you must die
Oh pray for us, we beg you
As in this world we try
We now walk in darkness
While in God's world you fly
TOGETHER
(Margo Does, We Want to Grow Up)
Two ants boogying down the road
Carrying such a heavy load

One, she pushed, and the other, he pulled
They did it together
Two birds singing on the fence
Their songs don't seem to make much sense
One is a crow and the other, a sparrow
They tweeted together
CHORUS:
Sing a song to cheer your heart
To help you when you come apart
Sing it loud and sing it long
Soon everybody will sing along
(VOCAL IMPROVISATION)
The sun and the moon, they share the sky
Watching all the clouds go by
One in the day time, the other at night time
They boogie together
CHORUS
Two kids tobogganing down the hill
One named Zach and the other named Lil
One's a Cajun, the other Canadian
One's a punk rocker
The other likes soccer
One is an alien
The other, Australian
One is E.T.
The other is me
Let's boogie together

TOP OF THE WORLD

(Richard Carpenter & John Bettis,
Carpenters - A Song for You)
Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my
eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because You are
here
You're the nearest thing to Heaven that I've
seen
CHORUS:
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on
creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since You've
been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the

same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the
breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will
find
That tomorrow will be just the same for You
and me
All I need will be mine if You are here
CHORUS 2 TIMES
TRACES
(James Seals*, Sheet music in The Bah'
Songbook, Vol. 1)
Red is the color they wear
Death is the shadow that was never there
They left their traces in the Sun
And thus they won the crown of martyrdom
In the Abh Kingdom
Faith is the essence they share
Faith is the reason they care
I hear their voices proud and strong
It's the martyr's song
At the break of dawn, saying 'carry on'
Ten is the number of angel souls
Ten is the number of flowers that grow
They lined the pathway that He chose
Crimson roses, Crimson roses
Beauty's roses, Beauty's roses
Martyr's roses, Martyr's rose
We must carry on
Red is the color they wear
Shine in their faces so fair
Immortal spirits soaring high
In the spaceless sky
So that you and I
Behold the traces

*Inspired by the ten women martyrs of
Shiraz, hanged 18 June 1983
TRAIN COMING CLOSER

All of the signs and wonders
That were prophesized
In our time have come to pass
Before our eyes
O Lord! There's no time to waste tonight
I can feel it like a train coming closer
Closer every day
The stars of our kings and leaders
Have fallen from the sky
The moon of our institutions
Has failed to give its light...
He said 'by their fruits we'll know'
So let them see who hath an eye
The power of investigation
Will lead us to the light....
Just read what the prophets say
About the day we're working for; when
Swords will be beat into ploughshares
And we won't learn war anymore...
TREAT MYSELF
(Words: Stephanie Andrews, Music: Stevie
Wonder, Conversation Peace)
There's a place I can go
When the tension's high and I'm feelin low
In a flash I can be in another space
As a different me, have a new I.D.
CHORUS:
I think I'll treat myself to all the pretty places

in my head
Yes, I'm going to treat myself to all the
pretty places in my head
There's no rich, there's no poor
Everything is love, no such word as 'war'
There's no black and no white
Rainbow colors they, dress the days and
nights,
Life's a paradise
CHORUS
It's amazing how the mind
Can do what you want it to
It can take you to a time
Where you'll want to stay forever
Feeling everlasting pleasure
If your life's in a place
That you can hardly bare
Come along with me to mental ecstasy

TREE OF LIFE
(Bob & Delores Simms, Flight)
There's a tree in the forest,
And the sun knows its name Grows little green apples
Kissed by the rain.
Under that tree in the forest
A seedling has begun to grow Created to serve a great purpose,
Not just for show.
CHORUS:
All around the country
People search with no place to go.
Take a lesson from the great forest:
Learn how to grow,
And grow, and grow.
Seedlings you are with a purpose;
Hold your head up high.
Reach, reach for the sunlight'
Reach for the sky.
Seedling has grown in the forest,
And the sun knows its name.
Tree and the seedling together
Are kissed by the rain.

A TRIBUTE TO 'ABDU'L-BAH
Crofts, Seals & Crofts Takin' It Easy/ Music
of the Bah' World Congress)
(INTRODUCTION: Poem in Persian written
by 'Abdu'l-Bah to Bah'u'llh)
Tearfully I raise my hands
And supplicate unto Thee in prayer
Close my eyes and You're there again
It's not the end, You are with me always
'Abdu'l-Bah , your footsteps are oh so hard
to follow
For a broken winged bird whose flight is
very slow
Such a long, long way to go
Hopefully I turn my face to Thee
And ask forgiveness
All my life I've been blind; now I see
Mankind is one; all religions agree
'Abdu'l-Bah, the lessons of your life
Are here to follow

Now this broken winged bird
Whose flight is very slow
Has a way to go . . .
Home
But deep in your heart, you gotta trust

yourself
You know trust is just like a diamond that
shines in the night
So you can find the path back home.
Trust me etc.
Dont worry (2 x)
TRUST
CHORUS:
There is some good in everything that
happens
There's a gift or lesson to be learned
I trust God with everything that happens
And my fear and worry disappear
Trust, trust, trust
I rely, I believe, I trust
I can relax, I know things will be alright
I trust that my best is good enough
CHORUS
Trust, trust, trust
I receive guidance in my heart
I choose not to nag or try to control
I trust others to do their part
CHORUS
TRUST (TRUST ME)

Trust me to chase away your fears
Trust me to wipe away your tears
You gotta look for the hidden treasure on
lifes rocky road.
Dont worry, dont worry, youll never be
alone
Dont worry, dont worry, just put your trust
in God above.
Trust is having faith and believing in the
world
TRUST IN YOU
(Woody Woods, Lucy Shropshire: This is
Faith)
Once I was alone, out here on my own
My heart filled with despair, cause no one
seemed to care
Then You took my hand and You made me
understand
That one and one is two and all I need is You
CHORUS:
All I ever had to do was trust in You
All I ever had to say was, 'Have Your way'
All I ever had to see was that You believed
in me
Once I wasn't free, I lived in misery
Trying hard to be an island in the sea
Then You touched my soul
And You made my spirit whole
Your turned my ship around
Got me back on solid ground
CHORUS
The world had conquered me
The world had me blind
I was looking for an answer
That was right here all the time
I couldn't see the forest
I could only see the trees
You touched me with Your love and now I
believe
When it is the truth

CHORUS
All I ever had to do
All I ever had to do
All I had to do was trust in You (echo)
All I had to do was trust in You (Bah'u'llh)
All I had to do was trust in You (Bah'u'llh)

TRUTHFULNESS
Telling the truth can be easy
When Grandma asks, 'Would you like yogurt
to eat?'
It's easy to say 'Yes, yes, yes, yes!'
CHORUS:
Truthfulness makes us strong
Our hearts and our souls grow like giants
Telling the truth can seem kind of scary
Bah'u'llh tells us it's necessary
To always tell the truth
Tell the truth can be hard
When mother says, 'Did you lose
Your brand new shoes?'
It's hard to say 'Yes, yes, yes, yes'
Telling the truth can be scary

It's hard to tell someone
You've done something wrong
But parents are happy when children
Tell the truth
CHORUS
TRUTHFULNESS
Truthfulness is brighter than the light of the
sun.
Truthfulness is brighter than the light of the
sun.
With truthfulness, O people, beautify your
tongues.
With truthfulness, O people, beautify your
tongues.
Honesty adorns the soul of everyone.
Honesty adorns the soul of everyone.
Honesty is brighter than the light of the sun.
Honesty is brighter than the light of the sun.

THE UGLY DUCKLING

(Frank Loesser; Fred Penner A House For
Me)
There once was an ugly duckling
With feathers all stubby and brown
And the other birds in so many words
Said 'Quack, get out of town'
Quack, quack, get out, quack, quack, get out
Quack, quack, get out of town
So he went with a quack, and a waddle and a
quack
And a flurry of eiderdown.
That poor little ugly duckling
Went wandering far and near
But in every place they said to his face
'Quack, get out of here'
So he went with a quack, and a waddle and a
quack
And a very unhappy tear.
All through the wintertime he hid himself
away
Ashamed to show his face,
afraid of what others might say
All through the winter in his lonely clump of

weeds
'Til a flock of swans spied him there
And very soon agreed
'You're a very fine swan, indeed.'
'Swan, me a swan? Aw, go on!'
'You are a swan, take a look in the lake and
you'll see'
And he looked, and he saw, and he said,
'Why it's me, I am a swan. Hooray!'
'I'm not such an ugly duckling
With feathers all stubby and brown.'
For, in fact, these birds in so many words
Said, 'Quack, the best in town'
Not a quack, not a quack, not a waddle or a
quack
But a glide and a whistle, and a snowy white
back
And a head so noble and high
Said, 'Who's an ugly duckling? Not I.'

Virtues are Gods gifts that chart,

reflections in the human heart As we practice day by day O God Guide Us as we pray
Virtues stream from God above
He tells us we must practice love
When we see a world in need
He asks us only - plant a seed.
So let the virtues speak to you
Reflect, decide on what to do
You can hear the Master say:
Little by Little, Day by Day.

VISION
(Laura Lee, Lucy Shropshire: This is Faith)
It starts in your mind with a vision
Of just how the world could be
If only you and I would put hatred and fear
aside
Long enough to see
Just how the world could be
It starts when your soul cries within you
There's been enough suffering and pain
And if I'm the only one that feels something

must be done
Its cause I can see
We are all tied together with the common
bond of life
Touching each other with all we do and say
We need courage and strength to believe
All we hope and dream can be
If one by one, we make a start
Caring, sharing, heart to heart
Heart to heart
It starts when your soul cries within you
There's been enough suffering and pain
I won't be the only one
For the time has just begun
So come with me and you will see
WAGE PEACE
I see the people searching for a path
That will lead them to a refuge from the
wrath,
Now they can search forevermore,
Sail to ev'ry distant shore,
But they've got to look within to find the
door.
Mmmmhmmmm . . .
Every person's got to touch his heart
But it's there we cannot stop, that's just a
start
Alone you are one melody
Together we're cosmic harmony
We've got to join our souls in unity.
Mmmmhmmmm . . .
Let the light of unity shine its light on you
and me
And we will wage peace, wage peace

Living on the threshold of God's plan
When the wolf will feed together with the
lamb
I'll search my heart and you search yours
Together we'll work to stops the wars
We'll sing in harmony for our holy Cause.
Mmmmhmmmm . . .

WALK WITH HIM

Lord, keep me in Your care
Around You, I just know that You're
everywhere
I can see clearly now that You taught me the
way
To live my life close to You day by day
All around me I see traces of my Lord
He lives in me, without His grace I cannot
see
From day to day, and in this life of ours
Bah'u'llh's the only way, Bah'u'llh's the
only way
If you'll just walk with Him, talk with Him
He will show you the way
He'll make it a brighter day
You make one step, He'll make two
Bah'u'llh's the answer for you

WE ARE BUILDING THE KINGDOM

OF GOD
(Eric Dozier)
We are building the kingdom of God, laying
foundations for a spiritual world,
Holding fast to the Covenant of the Almighty
One.
We are striving day by day, gonna let
nothing stand in our way,
We are building the Kingdom and nothing
can stop us now.
We are joining hand in hand, all across this
mighty land,
United in spirit and bringing a balm to a sin
sick world.
We may have to struggle and we may have
to cry,
But we are assisted by the Concourse on
High,
We are building the kingdom and nothing
can stop us now.
WE ARE CHILDREN OF THE HALFLIGHT

(Words: Jackie Abrams, Music: Ben Di
Tosti)
We are the children of the half-light.
We are the seekers of the dawn.
We bear the weight of a trembling world
So that we may be re-born.

Born to walk the path of justice,
Of universal love,
We are the children of the half-light,
Guided by the sign of the dove.
We are the colors of a painting.
We ask the world to come and see
The shape and form of a bright new day,
Of what is meant to be.
All of us are one in spirit,
And that's what makes us strong.
We are the music of the Kingdom,
Asking you to join in our song.
WE ARE FLOWERS
We are flowers
of one garden.
We are drops
of one sea.
CHORUS:
Come and join us
in our quest for unity,
It's a way
of life for you and me.
We are leaves
Of one branch.
We are cattle
of one ranch.
CHORUS
We are pieces
Of a cherry pie.
We are piggies
In a sty.
CHORUS
We are flowers
Of one garden.
We are drops
Of one sea.
In a squad car, protected from the whites

'Cause they're burning a cross to send her a
message
And you can see the fear in her eyes
CHORUS
CHORUS
WE ARE ONE
(Dan Seals, In A Quiet Room II, Lift Up Your
Voices and Sing, Vol. 3)
In a bombed out room in Belfast, a young
boy is crying
He's alone and he don't understand how the
teachings of one book
Built on love and understanding
Could cause the hurt and killing in his land
In an old part of Jerusalem two children are
playing
They run and laugh the way it's meant to be
But one will wear the star and one will wear
the crescent
They'll grow up and change from friends to
enemies
CHORUS:
But we are one, the Flowers of one garden
We're one, the leaves of one tree
Let the walls come down and stand here
together
We are one family
In a Pakistani village a young boy on
crutches
Takes a fall and lies helplessly there
And he holds out his hand, but no one will
take it
They won't touch him or the clothes that he
wears
On a side street in Selma, a black child is
sitting
Ponder in our hearts how we were all created

From the same dust, same dust
Searching, we will find that the Spirit of the
Age
Has come to find us, find us
CHORUS
WE ARE ONE
(Leslie Spiro, Kelly Bruss and John Ford
Coley, We Are One)
Sailing on the sea of life, looking out over
creation,
I feel the gentle words upon the wind,
Whispering the message from on High
And it says: Lo the Nightingale of Paradise
Sings about a world in peace together,
Where everyone in harmony
Can be in perfect unity and love forever.
CHORUS:
We are one across the land;
Reach out and touch, hand to hand,
And let somebody know our love will grow
To unite the hearts of man.
Oo-oo-oo-oo (ba ba ba ba ba ba)
Woh-oh-oh-oh
Oo lingo, say lalalalalah, oo lingo, say lah
Through the course of life we change
And from the storms we come out of the rain

The words of wisdom from the past
Of Messengers that give us all to last
They say with a heart like unto glass
Illumined with the light, we can live
together,
Where everyone in harmony,
Can be in perfect unity and love forever.
WE ARE ONE IN THE SPIRIT
We are one across the land, come on,

Reach out and touch, hand to hand;
To unite the hearts of man,
Say la la la, say love your brother
Say la la la, say love your sister
Say la la la la, la la la la la, Say la la lah
CHORUS:
And they'll know we are brothers by our
love,
by our love.
Yes, they'll know we are brothers by our
love.

Reach out and touch, hand to hand;
You better let somebody know our love will
grow
Oo oo oo oo
Reach out and touch, (reach out ) hand to
hand
You gotta let somebody know our love will
grow
You gotta love your brother to unite the
hearts of man;
You gotta love your sister to unite the hearts
of man;
You gotta love your brother to unite the
hearts of man;
Say la la, say love your brother (la la la la),
Say la la la, say love your sister
Say lalala lalalalalala, say lalala
We are one across the land,
Reach out and touch, hand to hand
We are one in the spirit, We are one in the

Lord.
We are one in the spirit, We are one in the
Lord.
And thank God that our unity has finally
been restored,
We will walk with each other,

We will walk hand in hand.
We will walk with each other,
We will walk hand in hand.
And together we'll spread the news that God
is in our land.
CHORUS
We will work with each other,
We will work side by side.
We will work with each other,
We will work side by side.
We will guard each man's dignity,
And save each man's pride.
CHORUS
All praise to the Father, from Whom all
things come.
And all praise to the Spirit, the Promised
One.
And all praise to Bah'u'llh, the time has
finally come!
CHORUS
WE ARE SOLDIERS
Well, the Bb blew His trumpet,
Announcing to the world the time had come,
And like a thief in the night, He came by the
Gate
Because He was the Promised One.
CHORUS:
Oh, we are soldiers in God's army.
We gotta' stop and teach the Word for now
We gotta' hold (We gotta' hold) up love and
unity.
We gotta' hold it up until we die.
Bah'u'llh was the Prophet.
He got the Word that is right for now.
And when the road got rough and the goin'
got tough
WE ARE THE ANSWER

Sitting by my window, I'm just staring at the
sky,
Thinking about this plane giving me a ride.
My ticket is my body and my luggage is my
heart
This song is just a bag, won't you take a look
inside?
I'm gonna' shout my insecurities
Gonna cancel all my fears,
Gonna step aside, and let my feelings glide
I'm a member of society's Fraternity of
Peace;
War is death and peace is life, to this truth I
will comply.
Here is the answer.
Let us all make a vow to the unity of
mankind.

Now we're glad we're all soldiers.
We got the Word that is right for now.
And when the road gets rough, and the goin'

We're gonna' stand there and teach anyhow!
CHORUS
There are wars between the nations,

There are wars within our minds.
Humanity is searching for the dawn.
Gaze into the mirror, see the image of our
hope.
Wipe away the crust of doubt, reveal the

Now the seeds of transformation
Have been planted in your hearts.
Deep within these hearts the answer lies.

We are the answer.
Let us all make a vow to the unity of man.

WE ARE THE WORLD

(Michael Jackson & Lionel Richie)
There comes a time when we heed a certain
call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a
change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need
CHORUS:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart

So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to
bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
(Ohohohohoh)

When we stand together as one
We have come to sing praises to our Lord. .

WE MAY NEVER PASS THIS WAY

AGAIN
(Jim Seals and Dash Crofts, Lift Up Your
Life, so they say is but a game and they let it
slip away
Love, like the autumn sun, should be dying
But it's only just begun
Like the twilight in the road up ahead
They don't see just where we're going
And all the secrets in the universe
Whisper in our ears and all the years will
come and go
And take us up, always up
CHORUS:
We may never pass this way again

Dreams, so they say, are for the fools and
they let them drift away
Peace, like the silent dove, should be flying
But it's only just begun
Like Columbus in the olden days, we must
gather all our courage
Sail our ships out on the open sea
Cast away our fears and all the years will
come and go
And take us up, always up
CHORUS
WE RECYCLE
I just had a drink of some soda pop
All that's left is this aluminum can
The pop is gone, it's just a piece of trash
Now what do I do with the can?
Drop it in a lake?
(No!)
Spin it in the dryer? (No!)
Or take it to the recycle center?
(Yes!)
CHORUS:
We Recycle, we don't just throw it away
We Recycle so we can use it once again
someday
I just made a peanut butter sandwich

I had to scrape it from the bottom of the jar
Along with some jelly, it's sitting in my belly
What do I do with this empty glass jar?
I could leave it in the deep freeze (No!)
Throw it in the woods
(No!)
Float it in the aquarium
(No!)
Or take it to the recycle center
(Yes!)
CHORUS
I just made some fresh squeezed orange juice
To have with my breakfast meal
It was a tasty treat full of vitamin C
Now what do I do with the peels?
I could flush them down the toilet (No!)
Leave them in the sink
(No!)
Feed them to your baby sister
(No!)
Or take them out to the compost pile (Yes!)
WE SHALL NOT FAIL

We shall not fail, we shall not fail
We shall not fail, we shall not fail
Please God, we may achieve it
We shall not fail
We may be poor . . .
We'll go on foot . . .
I just bought the morning newspaper

I read Garfield and Doonesbury too
I real all of the stories from the front to the
back
What do I do with it now that I'm through?
I could stuff it in the toaster (No!)
Put it underneath your bed (No!)
Hide it in my underwear
(No!)
Or take it to the Recycle Center
(Yes!)
Cities and towns . . .

WE WILL ALL
(Doug Cameron & Jack Lenz, If You Only
Knew)
The marriage of our hearts in this world
Might tear our lives apart in this world
Every step along the longest road of all
Could bring us to the end
We'll watch the pieces fall
The vows we make today in this world
Like empty vessels break in this world

But somewhere there's a light
A Voice that somewhere calls
Beyond these broken words
Beyond these empty halls
If till death do us part
Could only be the start
Of something better
CHORUS:
We will all verily abide
By the will of God
Every single day in this world
Turn together, turn away in this world
Two seas that touch
Two tender hearts that rush
Like waves against the shore
Michigan, Friends, and not give pause 'til our

Sacrifice and commitment win the
Victorious day our new school begins.
'It behooveth thee to nurture them
at the breast of the love of God,
and urge them onward
to the things of the spirit . . .'

Nerves & knuckles, liver, lungs & kidneys,
everything we need in one place working
all together
So when I see the different members of the
human race, I think what a waste that we're
not working more together
It all makes sense to me
When I think anatomically
If you won't listen to me, listen to your hear,

something's getting ready to start
Take a look around, it's just about time to
power us up and bring it on line
It's a miracle of harmony the body of
humanity
Some folks are fingers, Some folks are toes.

Nigel's a kneecap, Nellie's a nose
We're all together again, we're here, we're

here,
We're all together again, we're here, we're
here,
Glad to be singing all together again
Singing all together again, we're here, we're
here.
Brian's a blood cell, Jennie's a gene,

someone's a whisker, someone's a spleen
Inside your body see what's going on, there's
a million pieces getting along
Separately they're a pile of parts but all
hooked up the magic starts
It's a miracle of harmony so how about
you and how about me
WE'RE ALL TOGETHER AGAIN

With every day let's strive
To make our lives into one whole

By blending our two spirits and
Joining our two souls
SPOKEN BY A THIRD VOICE:
Out of the fusion of two souls a third subtle
entity is born; Though invisible and
intangible on earth, it is the composite soul
of two lovers. The progress of one
mysteriously influences the other. They
become the tutor of each other's souls.
Distance or death, mere physical forces,
cannot cause its disintegration.
MALE:
Our union will last longer
Than our human earthly lives
The bond we form today
Through eternity survives
FEMALE:
So come, my love, your hand in mine
Let's turn to God above
And ask a special blessing
For the future of our love
WEL-O-COM
(Song from Uganda, Black Mens Gathering)
Wel-o-com, all our visitors,
We are happy to receive you,
For with your love, and your greatness,
Well never, well never forget you,
welcome.
I call on Dan, brother Dan,
We are happy to receive you, etc.
WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY

What a wonderful Day (what a wonderful
Day), since Bahaullah has come,
Bringing peace and joy, joy to everyone.

Behold the Face and hear the Voice of the
Promised One.
Blessed is the spot, and the house, and the
place, and the city
Where His Name is mentioned,
And the heart and the mountain and the
refuge and the cave and the valley
Where His Name is mentioned,
Blessed is the land, and the sea, and the
island and the meadow
Where His Name is mentioned, And His
praise glorified.
(REPEAT ABOVE AGAIN)
Were gonna give Him the praise, Were
gonna give Him the praise,
(REPEAT 3 TIMES)
What a wonderful Day, since Bahaullah
has come(REPEAT AND FADE)
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

(George Weiss & Bob Thiele, performed by
Louis Armstrong)
I see trees of green, red roses, too,
I see them bloom for me and you,
And I think to myself: what a wonderful
world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white,
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night,
world.
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the
sky,
are also on the faces of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands, saying: How do
you do,
They're really saying : I love you.
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow,

They'll learn much more than I'll ever know,
world.
Yes, I think to myself: what a wonderful
world
What is peace? What is peace?

Peace is feeling good inside
What is peace? What is peace?
Peace is a piece of lemon pie
Peace is you, peace is me
Peace is love and harmony
Peace is more, so much more than an end to
war
WHAT COLOR IS GOD'S SKIN?

Goodnight, I said to my little son,
So tired out when the day was done.
Then he said, when I tucked him in,
'Tell me, Daddy, what color's God's skin?'
CHORUS:
What color is God's skin? What color is
God's skin?
I said, 'It's black, it's brown, it's yellow,
it is red, it is white.
Every man's the same in the good Lord's
sight.
He looked at me with his shining eyes.
I know I could tell no lies
When he said, 'Daddy, why do the different
races fight
If we're the same in the good Lord's sight?'
Peace is playing basketball

Peace is doing the American crawl
Peace is a trip to Niag'ra Falls with my
family
Peace is fun and being silly,
Getting a letter from my friend Billy
war
CHORUS
Peace is shaking out the rugs
Peace is getting lots of hugs
Peace is saying no to drugs and alcohol,
Eating ice cream with some sprinkles
As the stars show off their twinkles
war
CHORUS
CHORUS
'Son, that's a part of our sufferin' past,
But the whole human family is learning, at
last,
That the thing we missed on the road we trod
Is to walk as daughters and sons of God.
CHORUS
WHAT IS PEACE
CHORUS:
Peace is singing this here song

Peace is saying prayers at dawn
Peace is admitting I've been wrong
When I've been wrong
Peace is big, peace is small,
Watching snowflakes as they fall
war
CHORUS
WHAT MANKIND HAS TO LEARN

(Creadell Haley, Sheet Music in A New
Wind Blowing)
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

Awhile)
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.
What would you do if you were someone

else
Had to move to a foreign country by yourself
If others mistreated you and no one helped
else?
There's only one race of men upon the earth.

But man did divide it, and so,
There's a 'black race' a 'white race'.
There's only one race to know.
CHORUS:
What would you do if nobody loved you
If your friends were enemies and no one
knew
You just wanted to be liked and be yourself
else?
Earth is one country when God gave it to

man.
But man did divide it, and so,
There's a 'China', a 'Turkey.'
Earth is one country to know.
Religions are One, as the Prophets all have
sung.
But mankind denied them, and so,
There's a 'just my religion.'
Is Religions are One Thing to know.
There's only oneness 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 oneness to know.
What if you lived in China instead of here

South Africa or a place way off somewhere
Would you know in your heart how
Americans felt
else?
CHORUS
We should be a friend to others, no matter
who
Just imagine if someone else was you
If you were poor and hungry or had great
wealth
else?
WHATCHA GONNA' DO TODAY

There's a new day coming in the morning
Bah'u'llh shows us the way
Though we all may seek the kingdom
We can't get there without today
CHORUS:
Whatcha gonna' do today - to find it
Whatcha gonna' do today - to build it
Whatcha gonna' do today - for heaven
Work for heaven's sake - all together now
Work for heaven's sake
For those who long for days gone by,

Who stare at the stars in the midnight sky.
The whole world over we will praise Thy
name,
And on ev'ry tongue it will sound the same.
CHORUS
Everyone is looking for heaven

But few of us know or understand
Today is all we have to work with
The heavenly kingdom is at hand
WHEN I WAS JUST A LITTLE CHILD

CHORUS
All of us have the tools to work with
Let's get together and leave our guilt
If we all just keep working
The heavenly kingdom will be built
CHORUS
WHEN ALL THY NAMES ARE ONE

I'll begin tomorrow, I'll begin today Thy light, Thy will be done.
Bid farewell to sorrow, I will sing and pray
When all Thy names are One.
CHORUS:
When all Thy names are One, Oh, Lord,
When all Thy names are One,
Bid farewell to sorrow, I will sing and pray
When all drink the same water from the same
old well,
Thy light, Thy will be done.
Why must one man's heaven be one man's
hell?
CHORUS
When I was just a little child

I saw a temple fair
And people from the whole wide world
Came and worshipped there.
WHEN THE BLESSED BB WAS

BORN
(Lyrics by Gretchen Hewitt and Nancy
Smith, Music by Gretchen Hewitt)
When The Blessed Bb was born,
A breeze stirred, new dreams were dreamed,
And angels danced for joy,
When the Blessed Bb was born,
Ya, AliulAllah.
His mother held Him close and safe,
A wondrous stir in her heart,
Ya, AliulAllah.
The dawning light through morning mist
Began to waken our souls,
Ya,AliulAllah.
Ah, Ah. Ya, AliulAllah.
WHEN WE GROW UP
(Mary Davis, Let's Try Peace For Awhile)
CHORUS
CHORUS:
When we grow up we'll have a better
Way of livin' - when we grow up
We'll find that giving brings us more
Than when we take
We'll make a world that's built on sharing
Without caring who is who - when we grow
up
Maybe the world will grow up too
WHENE'ER YOU MAKE A PROMISE
When a babe is in the womb there is no room

to err
God must give him arms and legs
To live life unimpaired
But in this world we have free will
And everyone must choose
If we don't grow inside ourselves
The whole world stands to lose
SING IN ROUNDS:
Whene'er you make a promise
Consider well its importance
And once made
Engrave it upon your heart
WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS

GONE?
(Pete Seeger, Inspired by Russian folksong)
CHORUS
Where have all the flowers gone, long time

passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time
ago:
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls picked them, every one.
When will they ever learn?
When we were young and having fun

Was mostly on our minds
We'd imitate the grown up world
To which we were inclined
But now we see adults these days
Behaving more like kids
The difference in the games we play
One isn't real, one is
Where have all the young girls gone, long

time passing:
Where have all the young girls gone, long
time ago,
Where have all the young girls gone,
Gone to young men, every one.
When will they ever learn, when will they
ever learn.
CHORUS
Where have all the young men gone, . . .

They are all in uniform, . . .
When children want what others have

And they begin to fight they've always
Got their mom and dad to tell them who is
right
But who will be the referee when nations
won't give in
If we don't turn to God right now
There'll be no world to win
Where have all the soldiers gone, . . .

Gone to graveyards, every one . . .
Where have all the graveyards gone, . . .
Covered with flowers, every one, . . .
Where have all the flowers gone, . . .
WHISTLE WHILE YOU WORK

(Music: Frank Churchill; Lyrics: Larry
Morey, featured in Snow White)
Watered and tended, watched over and

nurtured
Was ever a lover so carefully attended as
these blossoms
Just whistle while you work (whistle)

Put on that grin and start right in
To whistle loud and long
Just hum a merry tune (hum)
Just do your best and take a rest
And sing your self a song
How many miles and how many footsteps

These servants of love gave in their service
Forgetting themselves, their lives became
worship
That the earth may blossom
When there's too much to do

Don't let it bother you, forget your troubles,
Try to be just like a cheerful chick-a-dee
Now the sweet, sweet, so sweet water flows

And the desert will blossom like a rose - oh
oh oh hhh
And whistle while you work (whistle)

Come on get smart, tune up and start
To whistle while you work
They came to Carmel, arid and yellow

Where centuries of dust lay in a rubble,
Slaved in the sun with spade and with
shovel, that the earth may blossom
(Official Version)
Just whistle while you work (whistle)
And cheerfully together we can tidy up the
place
So hum a merry tune (hum)
It won't take long when there's a song
To help you set the place
And as you sweep the room
Imagine that the broom
Is someone that you love
And soon you'll find you're dancing to the
tune
(Spoken): Oh, no, no, no, no! Put them in the
tub)
When hearts are high the time will fly
So whistle while you work
WHITE ROSES
White roses were carried on horses from
Persia
Green cypress, and rich bouganvillea, red

geranium to brighten each window
Murals and fountains that flower forever, and
they'll ever blossom
There are many choices, every night and
every day
May the white, white roses guide us on our
way
Tears echo in memory, no deed lies
unrevealed
And every cup must empty to be filled
The heart is a parched land of valleys and
hollows
Sparse oases and parts that lie fallow
The reason for roses, and why we keep
going, is that it may blossom
White roses were carried on horses from
Persia
Watered and tended, watched over and
nurtured
Was ever a lover so carefully attended as

these blossoms
Now the sweet, sweet, so sweet water flows
And the desert will blossom like a rose
oh oh oh ohhhhhhh
WHITHER CAN A LOVER GO

Beauty)
Whither can a lover go but to the land of his
beloved?
And what seeker findeth rest away from his
heart's desire?
To the true lover reunion is life,
and separation is death.
His breast is void of patience
and his heart hath no peace.
A myriad lives he would forsake,
a myriad lives he would forsake,
to hasten, hasten to the abode,
to the abode of his beloved.
WHO IS THE CHILD?

(Susan Engle and Michael Moutrie, Special
Times)
Who is the Child? 'Al Muhammad,
Born in Shrz, city of roses?
Who is the Child? Grown straight and true,
Who told us, 'I am, I am, I am the Promised
One.'
CHORUS:
Do you know Him? Have you heard His
name?
Does your heart feel the beauty of His
presence?
Do you love him as did Mull Husayn?
If you found Who you've been seeking,
You can tell me.

Who is the Child? Raised by His Uncle,
October born, humble and gentle?
Who is the Child? We bow before,
For He said 'I am, I am, I am the Promised
One.'
CHORUS
Who is the Child? Tender and Holy,
Wrote the Bayn, foretold the Glory?
Who is the Child? Chosen by God
To tell us 'I am, I am, I am the Promised
One.'
CHORUS
Yes, He said, 'I am, I am, I am the Promised
One.'
WHO IS THE PROPHET?

(Second Bah' World Congress)
Who is the Prophet of God for today?
Who came exactly as foretold by Christ?
CHORUS:
Bah'u'llh came for all mankind
He brought us love and peace of mind
He says man should live us one
There is no place for us to run
Who brought this message of love to
mankind?
Who said that justice is best in His time?
CHORUS 2 TIMES
WHO MADE THE SUN?

(Mimi McClellan)
Who made the sun to shine on me,
Who made the wind to blow?
Who made the rain to fall all around,
Who made the moon to glow?
God made the sun to shine on me,
He made the wind to blow.
He made the rain to fall all around,
The moon and stars to shine all around,
The birds and bees to fly all around,
And God made me, and you,
And brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts,
And cousins and neighbors, too.
WHO WE ARE
The air up here is fresh and clear and sweet
This new born child is innocent of we
It's up to us to keep it so
But we all know how children grow
Its mother is old and worn and weak
She's fed us well, but now she sings defeat
Her child is here to save the lives
Of those who closed her mother's eyes
Send them off to play among the stars
And leave us here to heal this earth of ours
The games we play have gone too far
It's time to look at who we are
WHO WAS THE GATE?

(Beverly & Jamal Ruhe)
Who was the Gate? The Bb was the Gate.
The Promised One was Bah'u'llh.
Who was the Master? 'Abdu'l-Bah.

Who was the Guardian? Shoghi Effendi.
THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD AROUND

(Pete Jorgensen, Sheet Music in A New
Wind Blowing)
We all see before us a troubled time,
A world in decline and fall,
When one small spark in a world wide war
Could easily end us all.
CHORUS:
But just the same, could it not seem true,
With good men all around,
That we could rise in brotherhood
The whole wide world around.
We all see before us the folly of man,
As he clouds his mind with hate,
Refusing to listen or search for the truth
Refusing until it's too late.
CHORUS
WHY NOT HAVE PEACE

(Sean O'Rourke and Pat Morrissey)
Why not have peace?
Why not have love?
Why not have harmony?
Mmn God above
Why must we fight
Why must we hate
We must have unity
Before it's too late
CHORUS:
We have got to learn
How to live in peace with each other
And to Thee we turn for help
CHORUS
Another day
Passes us by
An opportunity
Which we deny
WILL YOU LOOK NOW, MY FRIEND

(Randall Dighton)
We're caught in a maze

Blind to our fate
Can we not find the key?
CHORUS
WILDFIRE
(David Hall and Wilford Johnson, Wildfire)
There is a spirit flowing through each land
Filled with hope God's love can inspire
A glow in every nation if we look we can
See it start spreading like wildfire
CHORUS:
Wildfire - in all consuming passion
Wildfire - the cause of God's desire
Wildfire - the hope of every nation
Spreading through our veins like wildfire
It started as an ember and seemed a little
spark
Oppressors and nations could put out
They banded together to keep man in the
dark
But if we look today there is no doubt
CHORUS
Now all creation begins another day
The mysteries of life are being told
Through earth and heaven Bah will show
the way
Promised in the Holy Books of old
Will you look now, my friend,

At the beauty of the rose,
And tell me truthfully,
Does it matter where it grows?
Are its color and its fragrance any less true
If it's grown in a garden owned by me or by
you?
At the lamp that sheds the light,
Is it glowing wrong or right?
When this dark world needs the light
so all men can see,
Does it matter if the lamp is held by you or
me?
BRIDGE:
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.
At the truth in ev'ry Faith,
Does it merit life or death?
If the Word of God is evident in ev'ry Holy
Book,
Does it matter if the Name is not
the one your fathers took?
Will you listen now, my friend,
To the nightingale's song,
Is its glory right or wrong?
When the Lord reveals His Will for men

wherever It may be found,
Does it matter from Whose lips the
melodies of God may sound?
WINDFLOWERS
(Jim Seals and Dan Seals, Lift Up Your
Windflowers, my father told me not to go
near them
He feared them always
Said they carried him away
Windflowers, I couldn't wait to touch them
To smell them I held them closely
Now I cannot break away
Their sweet bouquet disappears
Like a vapor in the desert
Take a warning, son
Windflowers, their beauty captures every
Young dreamer who lingers near them
Ancient windflowers, I love you
WINGS
CHORUS:
I hear you , you do not wish to fly straight
and strong
The words you use on me must be wrong
They're not true, they're not love
Offer me the wings of a dove
Heading for the same place at a different
pace
Like moths drawn to a light we fry from the
night
We can't tear ourselves away, and one day
we will learn
That love is so strong, we will always return

CHORUS
THE WINGS OF JOY

CHORUS:
Joy gives us wings, joy makes life sing.
Joy makes life feel so right,
Yes, and joy gives us wings,
Gives us wings, gives us wings.
I wake up every morning, I got so much to
do;
Now I could choose to complain all day,
Or smile the whole day through
I think I'll smile, think I'll smile, think I'll
smile.
CHORUS
When the clouds fill up the sky, and it starts
raining hard
I try to see the good in things:
It's greenin' up my yard,
Looks so fine, and I feel fine.
CHORUS
(INSTRUMENTAL)
CHORUS
Feeling happy is what life's about, it's the
way for ev'ryone
Let the wings of joy lift up your soul,
And watch your spirit fly,
Watch it fly, watch it fly.
CHORUS
Wings

WINGS WE CAN FLY ON
World)
Spirit in a body, body for moment
Moment quickly passing, spirit still alive
Body has a question, "How long I be here?"
Spirit got an answer, "Not too long but I've
got
CHORUS:
Wings we can fly on, whoa-whoa
Up and over across the great divide
Everybody has them, anyone can fly
Thinking like a body, body full of hunger
Hunger keep you hunting, can't escape the
drive
Body has a question, "Where am I going?"
Spirit got an answer, "Not too far but I've got
CHORUS
Living this life in a fantasy
Can it be any less real than it is... probably
not
Throughout our hysterical history the
Mystery's
Been trying to tell us what it is that we've
got....we've got
Up and over across the great divide
Everybody has them we only have to try"
Body gets the picture, feels the end a-coming
Body got to listen, body got to try
Spirit has it's own way of speaking softly
When body stops to listen spirit whispers,
"I've got
Wings we can fly on, whoa-whoa......
WITH TWO WINGS

CHORUS:
With two wings we can soar through the air
With two wings we can go most anywhere
With two wings we can sail through the sky
With two wings we can fly
I am one wing, father and brother
By myself all I can do is flutter
I'm only one wing, I need the other
For the dove of peace to fly
I am one wing, sister and mother
By myself all I can do is flutter
I'm only one wing, I need the other
For the dove of peace to fly
CHORUS
I am one voice, I am another
Half of the world, and I am the other
When we learn to work together
Then the dove of peace will fly
CHORUS
WOMAN, YOU ARE THE KEY TO

PEACE
(Mary Davis, Let's Try Peace For Awhile)
Woman, you are the key to peace
When your voice is heard, all war will cease
You are an equal in His sight
You bring warmth and compassion to this
life
Humanity is like a bird
Both wings must be strong
Stand where you belong so we can fly

You are the mothers of the world
The future of your children is unsure
Your lives are spent in sacrifice
And their lives your reward
You will not be forced to let them die
WORDS OF WISDOM

WORLD CITIZEN
(Christopher Ruhe-Schoen, Flight)
I am the world citizen. The whole world is
my home.
And I am not a foreigner no matter where I
roam.
All men are my brothers. We're all the same
inside,
As through the void of endless space
Together we do ride.
I am the world citizen. You've seen my face
before,
In every smoky city, by every sandy shore,
In every child that runs and skips,
Yes, in every man that toils;
And I claim the whole world for myself Her trees, her seas, her soil.
I am the world citizen. Please hear my call.
In the map that God drew
There's not one line or wall.
The earth's a wondrous, lovely sphere
In a vast and trackless sea,
And I celebrate her comforts and her fair
fertility.
I am the world citizen. I'm a German and a

Jew.
I'm from the steppes of China and the forests
of Peru.
In Africa you'll find me. Yes, in North
America too.
I am the world citizen, and I share my world
with you.
It takes all kinds of people

To make the world go round
Yes, I want to share my world with you.

The world is a rainbow

with many kinds of people
and when we work together
It's such a sight to see
The world is beautiful when we live in
harmony
WORLD CITIZENS
Based on the words of Bah'u'llh
(Phil Lucas, Lift Up Your Voices and Sing,
Vol. 2)
CHORUS:
Glory not in this, that you love your country.
Glory in this, that you love mankind.
We're the fruits of only one tree
And the leaves of just one branch.
World citizens, world citizens
In unity, that's how the world must be
All the people live as one
Like fragrant flowers in the sun.
Unity, the world cries for unity.
His rays are dawning like the sun.
Soon the world will be one.
THE WORLD IS A RAINBOW

(Unknown)
That's filled with many colors
Yellow, black, and white, and brown
You see them all around
With many kinds of people
Now you be you

And I'll be me
That's the way we were meant to be
But the world is a mixing cup
Just look what happens when you stir it up
Now you be you

And I'll be me
That's the way we were meant to be
But the world is a mixing cup
Just look what happens when you stir it up
with many kinds of people
And when we work together
Its such a sight to see
The world is beautiful
When we live in harmony
THE WORLD IS READY FOR A

CHANGE
(John & Sharon Barnes, Flight)
The world is ready for a change.
All this misery cannot remain.
The sky is filled with people's cries.
Sadness is in faces everywhere.
Every mother, every father is so worried for
his child.
Everybody knows there's much to change,
And I believe we want to try.

Things cannot go on this way.
Lord, all your Prophets told us
We can have a kingdom here.
Lord, won't you help us?
I believe we want t o try.
Help us climb that last mountain,
For the Kingdom's just around the bend.
THE WORLD IS WAITING

(Based on the words of 'Abdu'l-Bah; Words
& Music by Susan Engle & Jean White)
CHORUS:
How can I choose to sleep, O God, when the
world is waiting, the world is waiting? I
have wakened this morning, my face
toward the Daystar. The world is waiting
for Thee.
When the sun rises, my family is there
to offer a song, a chant or a prayer.
Bah'u'llh's name floats out over the town
as the bounties of God shower down.
CHORUS
Away we all go to our work, school or play
looking for ways to serve mankind today,
searching for people whose hearts need
repair
with offers of love and of care.
CHORUS
At home once again, as the day ends, we tell
of the sad things that happened, the things

that went well.
But my favorite part is the start of the day
when we gather together to pray.
CHORUS
WORLD OF PEACE
We've got to live in a world of peace
Bringing' it on from above
We're building a brand new day
We're takin' a brand new way
We're building' a brand new day
Won't you come and take my hand
BRIDGE:
It's for us to do
We've all been told
For the Day of God
To unfold
Every troubled man
Must find his way
So brother take my hand
Together we must stand
Sister take my hand
All across this land
We're spreadin' the Word of God
O, Bah'u'llh
We're spreadin' the Word of God
And my friends, we cannot stop!

Just like the shining sun fills up the sky
And one day soon men will live in harmony
Just as the precious flowers in the garden
CHORUS:
Peace is the promise of the Messengers of
God.
Peace is the only way mankind can live as
one.
Peace brings true happiness to you, and then
to me.
So let's try it now, and see, and peace will
come.
One day soon violence will vanish
Like a threatening storm that fills the air.
One day soon broken hearts will be mended
Just as quick as the doctor heals a hurting
wound.
CHORUS
WORLD UNITY
Awhile)
When we realize there's just one God
And just one true religion
And we all belong to just one family
When we eliminate all prejudice
And mankind seeks the truth
Imagine what a world it's gonna' be
With a universal language
This world won't seem so bad
When women have the freedom
'Til now only men have had
When every nation in the world
Unites to show we care
The earth will be one country
And all be treated fair
When we're educated the best we can be
When science and religion work in harmony
When the wealthy educate the poor
To eliminate poverty
Then we'll have heaven here on earth
(INSTRUMENTAL)
CHORUS
THE WORLD PLEDGE

(Words: Lillian Genser, Music: Dave &
Helene Van Manen, Barley Bread and
Reindeer Milk)
I pledge allegiance to the world
To care for earth and sea and air
To cherish every living thing
With peace and justice everywhere.
World unity
We'll have heaven here on earth, world unity
We'll be waging peace on earth

me
Let's have heaven here on earth, world unity

THE WORLD'S CHILDREN

(Words: Jo Tenjford, Music: Lorraine Milne,
UNICEF)
Some children are brown like newly baked
bread,
Some children are yellow and others are red,
Some children are white, there are black
children too,
Their colors are different
but they're children like you!
Some children eat rice and some prefer figs,
Some children like ice cream and some
roasted pigs!
Some children like fish and some like Irish
stew,
Their foods may be different
but they're children like you!
Some children say 'yes.' Others say 'ja.'
Some say 'okay' and some say 'dada'.
Some children say 'oui', and others say 's' Their words may be different
but they're children like me!
Some children have houses of stone or of
bricks,
Some live in snow igloos, or huts made of
sticks.
Some live in a cave and some live in a tree.
Their homes may be different
but they're children like me!
Some children wear furs and some wear
rebozos,
Some children wear sweaters and some wear
kimonos.
Some children go naked - their mothers don't
fuss.
The clothes may be different
but they're children like us!
Some are called Johann, some are called

John.
Some are called Hansel, and some are called
Juan.,
Some are called Yonkel, but what's in a
name?
Our names may be different but we are the
same!
There are children up north, in the east, in
the west,
In the south, and we cannot say which place
is best.
Some live where it's freezing, some live
where it's hot.
The countries are different but the children
are not.

Pionnier, Lift Up Your Voices and Sing, Vol.
2)

Yes, I'd give my life to Bah'u'llh

YE ARE THE STARS

Bah'u'llh
(Music by Patti Murdrey, Unity in Diversity)
'Ye are the stars of the heaven of
understanding,
The breeze that stirreth at the break of day,
The soft-flowing waters upon which depend
the very life of all men . . .'
'Ye are the first among men to be recreated
by His Spirit
The first to adore and bow the knee before
Him,
The first to circle 'round His throne of glory.'
YEAR OF SUNDAY
We all live in the Year of Sunday
So many things are in store for us
Oh what a gift to be born in Sunday
Beautiful Light way down here in the dusk
People, return to the Tree of Oneness
Oh, won't you hurry the Presence is there
Down on our knees in the darkness of
Sunday
We'll find the answers to all of our prayers
And then everyday will be Sunday
For you and me

How I pray, how I pray
God made a pact with Abraham
Never leave man alone
So, Abraham gathered His family
And brought His people home
Along came Moses
Gave the world a push
Climbed upon a mountain high
He got the Ten Commandments from a
burning bush
And put together His first tribe
Then came Jesus to Jerusalem
Ridin' on His shoulder a dove
The dove upon His shoulder said He was the
One
The One to teach us how to love
Mohammad stayed out in the desert sun
Stayed out just as long as He could
The Maker gave him water from the River of
Life
And then He gave us nationhood
And then time passed, soon the dark clouds
Came and covered up Mohammad's sun
But the young Bb, down in Persia Land
Came to tell us of the Promised One
'Lo, the Nightingale of Paradise
singeth upon the twigs of Eternity
with Holy and sweet melodies
proclaiming to the sincere ones
the glad tidings of the nearness of God . . .'
Bah'u'llh, Bah'u'llh, Bah'u'llh,
Bah'u'llh
We all live in the Year of Sunday
So many things are in store for us
Oh, what a gift to be born in Sunday
Beautiful Light way down here in the dusk!
CHORUS
YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE

KINGDOM
Music Collection 1)
Every job is a sacred trust

I treat my agreements seriously
I commit to do my very best
I keep my promises willingly
You are a child of the kingdom

Each morning you wake in its light
Let it guide your thoughts and actions
And help your dreams take flight
CHORUS

Its presence will never depart
When you feel alone or fearful
Its words will calm your heart
Rely on its powerful song
If the pain of loss comes near you
Be steadfast, brave and strong
When each day draws to an end
And you pray for peace and guidance
You'll meet with your Best Friend.
YOU CAN COUNT ON ME

(RELIABILITY)
CHORUS:
You can count on me (3 TIMES)
I'm dependable as 1, 2, 3
You can count on me (3 TIMES)
I'm reliable, reliable
Reliable and trustworthy
I make agreements I can keep
I do everything to see it through
I'll finish on time, I won't forget
I'll complete what I've agreed to do
YOU GOTTA SING

(Traditional, A Young Children's Concert
with Raffi)
You gotta sing when the spirit says sing
You gotta sing when the spirit says sing
When the spirit says sing you gotta sing right
along
(You gotta) sing when the spirit says sing.
You gotta clap when the spirit says clap. . . .
You gotta hum when the spirit says hum. . . .
You gotta snap when the spirit says snap. . . .
You gotta swim when the spirit says swim. . .
.
You gotta stomp when the spirit says stomp.
...
You gotta hush when the spirit says hush. . . .
You gotta sing when the spirit says sing. . . .
Sing when the spirit says sing
Yah, you gotta sing when the spirit says sing
Oh, ya gotta sing when the spirit says sing
And ya gotta stop when the spirit says stop.
YOU, ME, HE, SHE (TOLERANCE)

CHORUS:
You, me, he she
We're all different
You, me he, she
We are much the same

When we practice tolerance
You, me he, she
We accept our differences and
Things we cannot change
Tolerance sorts out what is important
I don't expect you to be just like me
Tolerance forgives instead of holding a
grudge
Sometimes we agree to disagree
CHORUS
Tolerance overlooks people's faults
Tolerance gives space for us to be, to grow
Doesn't insist on seeing things one way
Tolerance is flexible, it goes with the flow
CHORUS
YOU MUST ALL BE SO ABLAZE

(Words by Bah'u'llh, Special Times)
O Friends! You must all be so ablaze in this
day with the fire of the love of God that the
heat thereof may be manifest in all you
veins, your limbs and members of your
body, and the peoples of the world may be
ignited by this heat and turn to the horizon
of the Beloved.
YOU NEED A SCIENCE

I went to the broken ones; they said,
'What do you want?'
I said, 'I want to learn how we can be as one'
And they said, 'You need a science, you need
a science'
I went to the children; they said,
'What do you want?'

I said, 'I want a human, human race,
I want peace in every place and on every
face
You need a science, you need a science
You need a science, you need a science'
A science of Love, a science of Love
I went to the laughing ones; they said,
'What do you want?'
I said, 'I want to drown in love, I want to
melt in the sun'
They said, 'You need a science, you need a
science'
YOU THINK I'M CRAZY

World)
You think I'm crazy, well maybe I am
I don't expect you to understand
Out on a limb's not something I planned
How to explain it's just who I am
CHORUS:
I never could've dreamed life would be so
Never could've dreamed... so rich in so many
ways
Never could've imagined that I would be on
this road I'm traveling
I'm just so grateful to be here today
You think I'm foolish to follow my heart
Most people tell me it's not very smart
Still I follow my feelings and reach for the

stars
Who would've known it would get me this
far
CHORUS
I don't want to waste it...
I want to feel and know that my feelings
really real
I don't want to taste it...
I gotta be doing it, doing it, doing it day and
night
You think I'm crazy this life that I choose
With it's highs and it's lows I could win, I
could lose
But really my friend I'm a whole lot like you
Just taking my chances and seeing things
through
CHORUS:
YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE

(Rodgers & Hammerstein, Carousel)
When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark,
At the end of the storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown,
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,
And you'll never walk alone.
REPEAT ALL
YOU'VE GOT A FUTURE

(Mary Davis, Wildfire)
When the world seems caught up in old ways
You can be the ones to turn around
And make the change
Sometimes we forget that
Things aren't meant to stay the same
It takes the young at heart
To come along and rearrange
CHORUS:
You can make a difference in this world
Just by what you do and what you say
You can show by living day to day
That there is hope for man
There is a plan - you've got a future
As the old world crumbles to the ground
And we see so many people
That it's taking down
You can be the ones to show a difference
In their lives
Acting out a future only you can realize
You can be the ones to lead the way
Take time while you're young
With so much to say
There is only one day like today
Let's build tomorrow
One thing's for sure - you've got a future
CHORUS
ZIP-A-DEE-DOO-DAH (SONG OF THE

SOUTH)
Music: Allie Wrubel , Lyrics: Ray Gilbert,
Song of the South
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay,
My, oh, my, what a wonderful day.
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way,
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!
Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder,

It's the truth, it's 'actch'll'
Everything is 'satisfactch'll.'
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!
My, oh, my, what a wonderful day.
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way,
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!
Wonderful feeling, feeling this way!
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!
