ABOUT 19SONGS
A colourful collective of Bahá'í musicians from around the world coming together for one purpose: to creatively celebrate the 200-year birth of "the Báb" ("The Gate"; 1819-1850) - prophet-herald of the Bahá'í Faith. Once a month for nineteen months each musician will release a song or piece of music inspired by this momentous event and the eighteen souls who, through dreams and visions, arose and came to follow the Báb and His revolutionary Message for the people of the world.
The artists involved in this project have given their time and talent freely. As a result, all profits from the sale of this download will go towards Bahá'í-inspired projects around the world.

LYRICS
Say: God sufficeth all things above all things, and nothing in the heavens or in the earth but God sufficeth. Verily, He is in Himself the Knower, the Sustainer, the Omnipotent.
