Blessed is the spot, and the house, and the place,
and the city, and the heart, and the mountain, and the
refuge, and the cave, and the valley, and the land, and
the sea, and the island, and the meadow where mention of
God hath been made, and His praise glorified.
Baha'i Prayer
O God,
guide me, protect me,
make of me a shining lamp
and a brilliant star.
Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful.
Baha'i Prayer
O God! Educate these children. These children are the
plants of Thine orchard, the flowers of Thy meadow, the
roses of Thy garden. Let Thy rain fall upon them; let
the Sun of Reality shine upon them with Thy love. Let
Thy breeze refresh them in order that they may be
trained, grow and develop, and appear in the utmost
beauty. Thou art the Giver. Thou art the Compassionate.
Baha'i Prayer
He is God
O God, My God
Bestow upon me a pure heart
like unto a Pearl
Baha'i Prayer
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
When we practice this
phrase
in the most honest way
Find something special
in someone each day
We lift up the world,
one heart at a time
It all starts by saying
this one simple line
CHORUS
When each one of us
Feels important inside
Loving and giving
And glad we're alive
O what a difference we're
Making each day
And all because
Someone decided to say
CHORUS
AND BY THE WAY
I'VE BEEN MEANING TO SAY
I THINK YOU'RE WONDERFUL TOO!
Good neighbors
come in all colors
Black, red, yellow or tan
Our outsides may look different
But we belong to the
Family of man
When the 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
Its hurts him and that hurts I
Even if he had orange eyes
It hurts him when he cries
CHORUS
When my neighbor wants to share
Joy and happiness everywhere
Even if he had purple hair
I wouldn't even care
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 every body every where
Heart to heart, and friend to friend,
circling all around the world and back again.
CHORUS
So take my hand
and come along.
Its 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
It's up to us to
show we care,
reaching out to every body every where
Heart to heart, and friend to friend,
circling all around the world and back again.
MUSIC
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 every one can hear.
CHORUS
Strive that your actions day by day may be beautiful
prayers. Turn towards God, and seek to always do
that which is right and noble. Enrich the poor,
raise the fallen, comfort the sorrowful, bring
healing to the sick, reassure the fearful, rescue
the oppressed, bring hope to the hopeless, shelter
the destitute.
Baha'i Writings
Courtesy is
greater than
the rays of the sun.
Courtesy is greater
than they 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 things that
we hold, that we hold
in our hearts.
Courtesy is
greater than
the rays of the sun.
Krishna,
Buddha, Zoroaster,
Abraham, Moses, Christ,
Muhammad, the Báb,
Baha'u'llah, the Spirit's the same.
Baha'u'llah teaches for today
Tells us to look to the Spirit
not to worship the name.
Now we have
automobiles
We have electric lights
We can fly around, see a lot of sights
World movements for human rights
We can even take a trip to the moon
Now some people say these are terrible times
But it's a brand new day friends, there are the signs
Life's too great to just resign
Investigate soon
CHORUS
What are the
truths that we all should seek?
Well, how about a language we all can speak?
Male and Female equality
All kinds of prejudice are wrong
now religion and science both agree
About the oneness of Humanity
God's faith should cause harmony just like this song
CHORUS
Chastity,
integrity, humanity, unity
Our actions should cause unity or shine like a star
So when we're walking down the street
All the people around can plainly see
We handle ourselves a little differently
They'll know who we are
CHORUS
Goodness and Kindness,
Mercy and Love
These are the attributes, the attributes of God
Krishna and Moses, Muhammad and Buddha
these are the Holy ones
Who brought these gifts to us
CHORUS
These attributes, these attributes,
God's precious Gift to us
We've got to use these attributes
if mankind's to last
These attributes these attributes
we practice every day
Unless we use these attributes
we'll never find the way, no...
Justice, Compassion,
Wisdom and Truth,
These are the attributes that are a part of you
Jesus, Abraham and Baha'u'llah
These are the Holy ones Who brought these gifts to
us
CHORUS
Goodness and Kindness,
Mercy and Love,
These are the attributes, the attributes of God
Justice, Compassion, Wisdom and Truth,
These are the attributes that are a part of you.
CHORUS x2
Right now we're learning
things at school
Because the future's our birthright
One day we'll eventually rule
And we, we want to do it right
So what we're learning in
school now
Must serve our future hopes and needs
For we really want to learn how
To build a world of unity
CHORUS
Our human spirit needs education
We need to know spiritual things
Our human spirit needs education
We need to know spiritual things
We know we have a lot to
learn
There's sport and science every day
But one more subject needs a turn
We need the spiritual way
'Cause Hitler was
educated too
But he was full of greed and hate
For he did not learn love at school
for us the learning not too late
CHORUS
We learn to run and
chase the ball
We learn how science helps us fly
But we all know that there is more
We have a spiritual side
CHORUS
A monkey climbs a tree to
see what it can see
It looks up it looks down
and sees the sky and sees the ground
A worm is underground it
does not look around
Its eyes are not where they should be
the worm knows there's nothing to see
CHORUS
Wouldn't they be
surprised if they looked beyond their eyes
Take a look inside your soul and that is where
you'll find
You see things with your mind you can see your
spirit grows
A fish swims in the cave
and it is not afraid
it's eyes are blind so it can't see
a man with a torch who's quite hungry
A bug sees a pretty
flower that it wants to devour
It lands inside - that flower goes snap
That bug's caught in a Venus trap
CHORUS
Look inside yourself -
see your spirit's health!
Can you see peace - can you see love?
Patience too and lots of stuff?
How did it get there?
Maybe with a prayer
And some deeds 'cause you know
It's deeds of love that makes love grow
We're not so surprised
when we look beyond our eyes
We take a look inside our souls, and that is where
we'll find
We see things with our mind and that is how our
Spirit grows
REPEAT
We all need unity for our
society to be
We know how to make a nation all we need is
co-operation
And every civilisation has a seed - Co-operation
We all need Unity for
our society to be
We know when we work as one anything can be done
But when we can't get along everything goes wrong
We all need unity for
our society to be
If we're gonna live
together,
We need to share Love.
If it's peace we treasure,
We need to share Love.
If we're gonna last forever,
We need to share Love.
And the Love we need
We get from the Prophets of God.
Changes are a part of
life - gotta change so we can survive
The way we know what changes are right
Is letting God be our guide
We all need Unity for
our society to be
All through our history
so much strife and trouble we see
Come on humanity we'll make "EARTH ONE COUNTRY"
We all need unity for
our society to be
CHORUS
We all need unity for
our society...
We all need unity for our society to be...
Na na na na
na, na na na na na
I see someone
I don't like,
I start to tease, then they cry... Why? oh Why?
If I do that
then it must be,
there's something that's not nice in me... Why oh Why?
CHORUS
Can't we overlook the faults,
overlook the faults
Overlook the faults in others
Then it might
be they won't see faults in me
We'll all be sisters and brothers
Everyone has
something good in their hearts
if we just look, Yeah, oh yeah!
There's good
in you, there's good in me, see the good
and then we'll see, Yeah, oh yeah!
A new friend,
a new friend, everyone can be friends!
CHORUS
A new friend,
everyone can be friends!
Then it might
be they won't see the faults in me
We'll all be sisters and brothers!
A new friend,
everyone can be friends!
CHORUS
A new friend,
everyone can be friends!
O Son of
Spirit!
The best beloved of all
things in My sight is
Justice;
turn not away there from
if thou desirest Me,
and neglect it not
that I may confide in thee.
By its aid
thou shalt see
with thine own eyes
and not through
the eyes of others,
and shalt know of thine
own knowledge
and not through
the knowledge
of thy neighbor.
Ponder this
in thy heart;
how it behoveth thee to be.
Verily justice is My gift
to thee and the sign of
My loving-kindness.
Set it then before thine eyes.'

O Thou kind Lord! These
lovely children are the handiwork of the fingers of
Thy might and the wondrous signs of Thy greatness. O
God! Protect these children, graciously assist them
to be educated and enable them to render service to
the world of humanity. O God! These children are
pearls, cause them to be nurtured within the shell
of Thy loving-kindness.
Thou art the Bountiful, the All-Loving.
