Our Descendants

Music and Lyrics: Marvin Dreyer

When we consider that we baha'is are in the process of constructing the elements required for the formation of God's promised Kingdom on Earth, it comes to thought that our future heirs, or descendants residing in that wonderful era, may think back to the process and the participants involved in its development.

              F                                      G

Our descendants will reflect

         C                         Am

and this with great respect

           F               G             C… C7

on our efforts to cause a rebirth.

                 F                   G

assisting mankind to fulfill,

   C              Am

Gods holy Will

          F                     G7            C

to establish His Kingdom on Earth.

                   F                                       G

In our memory they will praise us

              C                               Am

in our names prayers will be raised up

       F                    G                            C… C7

in thanks for the work that had been done.

           F                      G

Celebrating our sacrifices,

        C                          Am

our victories and our crises

                   F                            G7          C

preparing mankind to come together as one.

               F                         G

We promote Baha'u'llah's teachings

        C                        Am

His concepts so far reaching

            F          G7            C… C7

this dawn of a new society.

                   F             G

Where our future descendants

            C              Am

will reside in resplendence

                       C                G7       C

in a world at peace living in harmony.

                      F                       G7

It will be on earth as it is in Heaven

                       C                        Am

Baha'u'llah's teachings are the leaven

                 F                    G              C… C7

assisting mankind to fulfill God's Plan

                        F                            G

Reserved for Him the city of the heart

                          C                            Am

And we’re His keys to that sacred part

              F                       G7                    C

to open up to form the brotherhood of man.

     F                                   G

So our discourse among our friends

                            C                       Am

Our words and actions, it all depends.

                          F                G        C   C7

Our search for spaces to unite society

                    F           G       C                Am

We're dedicated to build prophecies fulfilled

                      F            G7                   C

And bring about the brotherhood of man.
