WHAT KIND OF WORLD

What kind of world would it be

When there is no cruelty

And there is no greed?

I see a world full of light

Where there were no soldiers

And no one to fight.

Every soul as one

Working together till the battle is won.

Chorus

There’s a place for you

There’s a place for me

Each one a wave

Each one a sea

If we raise our hands

If we turn our hearts

To Baha’u’llah

What kind of world would it be?

What kind of world will we see

When I preferreth

My brother to me?

It is all in our hands

To be of service

To our fellow man.

All beating with one heart

And we’re gonna make it

If we just make a start.

Chorus

Bridge

With every soul alight

Each one burning bright

A world where we can be

One humanity

Oh, what kind of world would it be?

Against thee 

Against thee

and make blissful your souls, and grant you exceeding joy and heavenly delights.

WHITHER SHALL I TURN

Am C G D

Whither shall I turn,

Except the way which Thou didst 

set? 

WHOSE NAME IS LOVE

Let this gathering

Be a foreshadowing

Of what will in very truth

Take place in this world

When every

Child of God realises

That they are the leaves

Of one tree

The flowers of one

Garden

The sons and daughters

Of one

Father

Whose name is love (x4)
