"Midnight Prayer" by Ann-Sofie Wensbo
Baha’i Blog 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 Stockholm, Sweden, with Ann-Sofie Wensbo singing “Midnight Prayer”, based on a prayer by Abdu’l-Baha. This song was filmed and recorded in Stockholm, Sweden in October, 2018, and was composed by Ann-Sofie Wensbo. Here is the quote used for the lyrics of the song, followed by the lyrics and chords: “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.” -Abdu'l-Baha LYRICS & CHORDS: | E | A/F# | E/G# | A | E A/F# E/G# A O Lord, I have turned my face unto Thy E A/F# E/G# A kingdom of oneness and am E A/F# E/G# A immersed in the sea of Thy E A/F# E/G# A mercy.
