This Is Faith

"THIS IS FAITH" is a poem written by Amatu'l-Bahá Rúhíyyih Khánum. It is sung and composed by Elika Mahony from her new album "Fire and Gold". Additional vocals by Sandy Huening. Music produced & arranged by Jarome Matthew and the video production is by May Main.

"To walk where there is no path
To breathe where there is no air
To see where there is not light-
This is Faith.

To cry out in the silence,
The silence of the night,
And hearing no echo believe
And believe again and again-
This is Faith.

To hold pebbles and see jewels
To raise sticks and see forests
To smile with weeping eyes-
This is Faith.

To say: "God, I believe" when others deny,
"I hear" when there is no answer,
"I see" though naught is seen-
This is Faith.

And the fierce love in the heart,
The savage love that cries
Hidden Thou art yet there !
Veil Thy face and mute Thy tongue
yet I see and hear Thee, Love,
Beat me down to the bare earth,
Yet I rise and love Thee, Love
"This is Faith."

Original voice, great piano, all by the same wonderful Baha'i girl.

Thanks for your precious contributions Elika. Your video is found in my playlist Time For REFLECTION, at the end. Baha'i Friends to which it was sent were deeply touched, some being members of Amatul Baha's family through his half-brother, a native orphane. So, you see how pure acts have wide impacts.
