"O That I Could Travel" by Sarah & Nava

Описание: Baha’i Blog’s “Studio Sessions” is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.

In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Vancouver, Canada with Sarah Mohebiany and Nava Taghvai who sing “O That I Could Travel” based on a Tablet by Abdu’l-Baha.

This song was filmed and recorded in Vancouver, Canada, January 2017.

Here is the quotation used for the lyrics below, followed by the quotation and chords:

"O that I could travel, even though on foot and in the utmost poverty, to these regions, and, raising the call of “Ya Baha’u’l-Abha” in cities, villages, mountains, deserts and oceans, promote the divine teachings! This, alas, I cannot do. How intensely I deplore it! Please God, ye may achieve it." - Abdu’l-Baha
