Give Us Wings, Let Us Grow | Bahá’í Inspired Youth Song & Prayer

“Give Us Wings, Let Us Grow” is a Bahá’í inspired youth song weaving a prayer of ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá into music about spiritual growth, finding courage, and making a difference through love and service. Growing up as a Bahá’í, I didn’t have catchy music like this—music that spoke to me as a youth and made me want to explore the Faith more deeply. That has stayed with me, and it’s why I feel compelled to create it now. My hope is that these songs give youth something they can connect with, sing along to, and think about long after the music stops. Maybe a lyric sparks a question. Maybe the prayer encourages someone to search for Bahá’u’lláh, learn about the Bahá’í Faith, or discover more about their own spiritual purpose. That’s what keeps me creating. This song brings together original lyrics and the prayer below. Its message is about growing into our potential, building fellowship, and using our gifts to help others. THE PRAYER — ‘ABDU’L‑BAHÁ O Thou kind Lord! Graciously bestow a pair of heavenly wings unto each of these fledglings, and give them spiritual power that they may wing their flight through this limitless space and may soar to the heights of the Abhá Kingdom. O Lord! Strengthen these fragile seedlings that each one may become a fruitful tree, verdant and flourishing. Render these souls victorious through the potency of Thy celestial hosts, that they may be able to crush the forces of error and ignorance and to unfurl the standard of fellowship and guidance amidst the people; that they may, even as the reviving breaths of the spring, refresh and quicken the trees of human souls and like unto vernal showers make the meads of that region green and fertile. Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful; Thou art the Bestower and the All-Loving. What does “Give Us Wings” mean to you?
