Where He Leads Me

God the Existent Before the Ages- Antoun Ibrahim Ayad (أنطون إبراهيم عياد)

Your Mercies Praise (Ma Rahmak Ya Elahi)- Antoun Ayad & Fr. Philopateer Kamal (أنطون إبراهيم عياد)

Lyrics

In the midst of the raging sea,
There I was sailing.
The waves were pounding me,
Making me afraid.
(And it seems That Christ has left me,) x2
(But I no longer see him because of my weak faith) x2

Refrain:
Jesus when he saw me,
Came to me quickly.
In my despair and darkness,
He opened my eyes.
(When I saw him, I cried have mercy) x2
(He came to me quickly and had mercy on me) x2

The sounds of the angry waves, 
Agonized my ears.
Darkness of the creeping night,
Has threatened my peace.
(And the tears, have not left my eyes)x2
(And the sleepless nights, have overwhelmed me) x2

Refrain

I took the oar and started rowing,
But my hopes have failed
My weakness and my ignorance,
Brought more grief to me.
(And my Lord, at the shore sees me) x2
(When will you come to me, and restore my hope?) x2

Refrain

I was in despair and drowning,
And my hope is torn.
I came to my beloved Jesus,
Offering him my tears.
(When he saw me, He had compassion on me) x2
(He stretched out his sweet hand, and dried my tears) x2

Where He Leads Me I Will Follow

English translation of Qalby El Khafaq...shout out to @paula-sameh-samaan for his amazing oud playing

My Throbbing Heart

My throbbing heart has become Your bed, 
In the curves of my chest, I have hid Your dwelling,

I have left the universe, in its disorder
And abandoned everything, so I may live with You

I have no thought, nor opinion nor 
Any other desire, but to follow You

And my father Jacob, I know his secret; 
I know now how, he wrestled You

O you the kindest-hearted, how sweet are You, 
Exalted above all and feared, how glorious are you

O mighty One holding, a whip in your palm 
And your love for us yields tears for You

The universe cannot contain You, how small it is, 
How then can the heart be sufficient for You

I have left the universe, in its disorder
And abandoned everything, so I may live with You

I have left everything, my Lord except You, 
I have none but You in the sojourn of my life.

And I prevented my thoughts, from wandering, 
So wherever You are, there my thoughts will be

I have forgotten family and friends,
And also I have forgotten my soul in Your love

I have forgotten everything in Your love, 
O the joy of the heart, so don’t forget Your child

You are not far from my spirit which is
In the calmness of silence waiting for Your calling

You are truly in the Heavens
But every heart that lives in love is Your Heaven

This is my eye and I have closed it, 
From seeing everything so I could see You

And likewise my ear, I have covered it 
From hearing everyone so I could hear You.


Pope Shenouda's Poem "My Throbbing Heart"  قلبي الخفاق (Qalby El Khafaq in English) with Oud

Asomen Spanish

Christ be my light 
Christ be my shield 
Christ when I’m standing 
Christ when I kneel 
Christ here beside me
On my left and my right 
Christ all around me 
All my days and my nights

You feed every bird 
Clothe every field 
Why would I worry? 
What more do I need? 
The same hands that hold me
Hung the stars in the skies 
Soften a hard heart
Lord make for me new eyes 

You’ll find every coin 
You’ll find every sheep
Precious in your sight 
For one lost you’ll weep 
Bought at a great price 
But I wasted it all 
An heir of a kingdom 
Who forgot her King’s call

Christ in my valleys
Christ at my peaks 
With every breath 
Your face help me seek 
Be here beside me 
On my left and my right 
Christ all around me
All my days and my nights

(tune + lyrics of the first verse are adapted from “Canticle” by TAYA and Jon Guerra)

be my light

To The Grave (Vocals Only)

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Preserve my likeness, a gilded Icon
Despite the ailing of my soul 
Image of Holiness, Image of purity
Crafted for me by a master’s hand

Yet your hope for me, was not reality
It was reality, when I was born again
Day after day, my troubles grow
Piling upon me, obscuring that icon

(Refrain)
Restore to me that first Icon
Wrap me in the purest white
Reveal to me your image in me
Restore to me Christ’s own likeness

(2)
I am lost and I am searching
In every person, for any virtue
Yet I cannot be like these others
And cannot find in myself value

And still I search for my likeness in You
Show me its beauty in the midst of trial
Such great plans from the beginning
You have prepared, Sketched in that Icon

(Refrain)
Restore to me that first Icon
Wrap me in the purest white
Reveal to me your image in me
Restore to me, Christ’s own likeness

(Verse 3)
My image in you is drawn with care 
From the beginning, before I came to be 
In every detail, all of my life 
From my birth, until my death 

Prepared for me is victory 
And when I fall, you’re there to lift me
I’ll be triumphant in any trial 
With the sword of faith drawn in my Icon 

(Refrain)
Restore to me that first Icon
Wrap me in the purest white
Reveal to me your image in me
Restore to me, Christ’s own likeness

(Verse 4)
You who accepts a cup of water 
Two mites, five loaves, even two fish 
A pound of ointment from a sinful woman 
Accept from me these offerings 

Accept my life, my poor gifts 
My own weakness, my helplessness
But I love you with all my heart 
You are my God, I have no other 

(Refrain)
Restore to me that first Icon
Wrap me in the purest white
Reveal to me your image in me
Restore to me, Christ’s own likeness
