about

I wrote this song after learning about Baha'u'llah's declaration in the Garden of Ridvan. I tried to paint a picture for those unfamiliar with the story. Be sure to play this song every Ridvan celebration.

lyrics

RIDVAN

A ````````````````````````````````````C#m
12 days in the garden of Ridvan
D`````````````````````````E
Full of joy and praise

A```````````````````````````````````````````````C#m
They came from near and far to Ridvan
D``````````````````````````````````````E
Bagdad the city of God's Gift


A`````````````````````````````````````````````C#m
The trumpet sounded loud in Ridvan
D```````````````````````````````E
God's promise had arrived

A```````````````````````````````````````````````C#m
It happened in the garden of Ridvan
D `````````````````````````````````````````````E
His light brightened up our sky

F#m``````````E
April 21, 1863

A ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````C#m
The time was right in the garden of Ridvan
D`````````````````````````````````````````E
Oh how we waited for that day

F#m`````````````````````````````````````E
They prepared for the great journey
D````````````````````````````````````E
Exhiled to the promised land

F#m``````````````````````````E
This is the holiest of days
D```````````````````````````````````E
The foundation of our Faith

A`````````````````C#m
Never forget Ridvan
D````````````````````````````````E
The hope for a better day
D``````````````````````````````````E
Join us on the 2nd of May

A``````````````````````````````````````````````C#m
He revealed unto us his great purpose
D`````````````````````````````````E
Mankind must live as one
D````````````````````````E
All religions are one
D``````````````````````````````````E`````````````````````A
The grace of God is one………….In RIDVAN
