Soaring Bird

CH
You are even as the bird that soareth
With the full force of it's mighty wings
And with complete and joyous confidencet
Through the immensity of the heavens;.......
Until impelled to satisfy it's hunger
It turns longingly to the water... and the clay
Of the earth below it; having been entrapped in the mesh of
it's desire finds itself impotent ...to resume it's flight,
To the realms from whence it came.....
CH
Having been entrant in the mesh of ....it's desire
Finds itself impotent
To resume its flight into the realms from whence it came
Ch
You are even as the bird that soareth XXXXXXrepeat

The betterment of the world ...can be accomplished through
Pure and goodly deeds and commendable and seemly conduct.....
Beware O People of the world...... lest you walk in the ways of them Whose words differ from their deeds....O Son of Man
Bring yourself to account each day lest you will be
Summoned to a reckoning...Holy words, pure and goodly deeds
Ascend unto the heaven of celestial glory....
The betterment of the world........can be accomplished through
Pure and goodly deeds ...and commendable and seemly conduct x3

Bahái High
05:28
|
|||
I came upon some people who seemed to me aware
They had open hearts to me they seemed to really care...
About the world and truth and justice
I thought I'd found some friends...
They had open hearts to me.. I knew I'd found some friends...
Friends in a deeper sense of the word.. like minded kindred souls
Friends from different race and culture like hidden gems untold....
I gathered up my courage and I put aside my fears
My independent enquiry began steady as she goes
No blood sweat or tears

I Bear Witness
04:07
|
|||
I Bear witness , O my God
That Thou hast created me to know and worship thee
I testify at this moment, to my powerlessness and to Thy might...
And to my poverty and to Thy wealth,
There is none other God but Thee,
The help in peril , the self subsisting

Perfect Unity
03:32
|
|||
Be in perfect unity,
Never become angry with one another...
Love the creatures for the sake of God
and not for themselves...you will always become angry
And impatient if you love them for the sake of them...
Humanity is not perfect,
There are imperfections in every human being....
and you will always become unhappy
if you love the people for them self....
But if you love them for the sake of God ,
You'll love them and be kind to them.....
For the world of god ...is the world of perfection ,
For the world of God...is the world of complete mercy.

Nightingale's Garden
05:33
|
|||
The nightingale sang in the quiet of the night,
The peace from that garden was felt from afar..
The chosen one walked among the roses in the moonlight
Conversing communing with God in high..
The Chosen one said to His sons , boys let's go
Cross the river, all is ready , the time has come
The time has come for us to be in this garden
To walk and talk with those
With those who hold true to the message to free banking
From the shackles and chains of man-made distractions
From The Cause of God the purpose of life here on this life
Was made manifest in those days
This is the day when all shall be revealed
He is the one we've be waiting for....
And the wave of joy that broke upon the earth,
Shall reverberate for evermore.......for evermore
The Tigris river carried them across to the garden
The tents were made ready the people came
And the towers of Islam..cried out to God
As they entered into that beautiful garden
The roses were pilled on the floor of his tent
And sent out to the friends and the faithful...
His words were soothing powerful and profound ...
His words were listened to, written down and passed around...
And the nightingale sang as the sun went down
Marking the 12 most happy days for all mankind

Intone
04:26
|
|||
Intone O My servant...the verses of God
That have been intoned by them that have drawn nigh unto Thee...
That the sweetness of the melody may enkindle your own soul
And attract the hearts of all men...
Whoso recites in the privacy of his chamber
The verses revealed by God..
The scattering angels of the Almighty ,
Shall scatter abroad the fragrance of the words uttered by His mouth
And shall cause the hearts.. of every righteous man to throb...
Though he may at first remain unaware of it's effect
By the grace vouchsafe unto him ,
Must needs sooner or later exercise it's influence upon his soul....
Thus have the mysteries been released by the breath of Him who is the source of wisdom......

Blessed is the spot
04:21
|
|||
Blessed is the spot ...and the house and the place
And the city and the heart and the mountain....
And the refuge and the cave and the valley and the land
And the sea and the island and the meadow..
Where mention of God has been made ....
And His praise glorified

O Wayfarer
04:09
|
|||
O wayfarer in the path of God,
Take though thy portion of the ocean of His grace
And deprive not thyself of the things that lie hidden in it's depths..
Be thou of them that have partaken of it's treasure..
A dew drop out of this ocean would
If spread upon all that are in heaven and earth
Suffice to enrich them with the bounty of God
The almighty the all knowing the all wise..
With hands of renunciation draw forth from
It's life-giving waters and sprinkle therewith..
All created things that they may be cleansed
From all man-made limitations and may approach the mighty seat of God This hallowed and resplendent spot.

Thy Name is my Healing
03:41
|
|||
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 my companion....
Thy mercy to me is my healing
And my succour ...in both this world and the world to come..
Verily Thou art the al-bountifull,
The All-knowing, the All- wise

Truthfulness
04:23
|
|||
Truthfulness is the foundation of all human virtue....
Without truthfulness, progress and success
In all the worlds God
Are impossible..... for any soul....
Beautify your tongues O people with truthfulness
And adorn your souls with the ornament of honesty
Truthfulness is the foundation of ...all human virtue
Let your eye be chaste , your hand ...faithful
You tongue be truthful and your heart enlightened
They who dwell within the tabernacle of God
And are established upon the seats of everlasting Glory
Will refuse , though they are dying of hunger
To stretch their had and seize unlawfully the property
Of their neighbour no matter how vile and worthless he may be
Truthfulness is the foundation of all human virtue xx
Truthfulness is the foundation ...of all human virtues
