Thy Confirmations - Music Inspired by the Heroes Teaching Conference

This song called “Thy Confirmations”, is the eighth song in a collection of 10 songs called ‘Music Inspired by the Heroes Teaching Conference’.
In April this year, some 1,000 Baha’is and like-minded friends from all over Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales, Australia, gathered together in the city of Brisbane to attend a historic conference aimed to help its participants find their place in service to Baha’u’llah and humanity.
The conference was called ‘The Heroes Teaching Conference’, and woven throughout the two-day program were beautiful songs performed by conference participants who were inspired by stories of heroism in the Baha’i Faith’s history, and from the spirit generated at the event. Within a few weeks after the conference, these songs were recorded live in a music studio in Brisbane, and we’re so excited to share this wonderful collection of inspiring songs!
Here is the quote from the Baha’i Writings used for the lyrics of the song:
“Help me to triumph by the hosts of Thy glorious kingdom, and shower upon me Thy confirmations, which alone can change a gnat into an eagle, a drop of water into rivers and seas, and an atom into lights and suns? O my Lord!”
-Abdu’l-Baha

I often find myself singing lines of this to myself throughout the day - the entire team gave us such a gift with arrangement - beautiful!

I am so glad to find you. Helps me every evening.

[@Áçaucoihe]

So grateful for an uplifting setting of this prayer...I live in the southern US and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá wrote that we should recite it every morning. It helps a lot to have such a pleasant way to commune with these holy Words

This rendition is so soublime, and when the sax enters my soul is stirred every time!

[@audreykemp9191]

Ya know, I played this simultaneously with a Schuman Resonance track. After a start and stop a couple of times, it sounded more in tune than playing the track alone.

Help me to triumph by the hosts of Thy glorious kingdom, and shower upon me Thy confirmations, which alone can change a gnat into an eagle, a drop of water into rivers and seas, and an atom into lights and suns? O my Lord! ‘Abdu’l-Bahá ¿Cómo puedo tener éxito a menos que Tú me asistas con el hálito del Espíritu Santo, me ayudes a triunfar con las huestes de Tu glorioso reino y derrames sobre mí Tus confirmaciones, que son las únicas que pueden transformar un mosquito en un águila, una gota de agua en ríos y mares, y un átomo en luces y soles? ¡Oh mi Señor! ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

He plays it on capo 6 but tuned down half a step so basically just play capo 5 and the chords should work
