Hymns

(If My own mother forgets me,
My Lord's embrace is enough for me) x2
Precious in His eyes is the smallest baby
So how can He forget me?
Refrain:
(So how can He forget me?) x2
If the mother forgets her baby,
My Lord will never forget me
(Treasured in His eyes is every tear,
Persistent is He to erase my fears) x2
To my soul, His love is always near
So how can He forget me?
Refrain
(Of the smallest bird, the Lord takes care
For the Lillies, clothing He prepares) x2
Precious in His eyes is every single hair
So how can He forget me?
Refrain
(For me the thorns you accepted
Not a single pain, have you rejected) x2
Beloved Jesus has never neglected
How then can He forget me?

If The Mother Forgets (إن أنسى)

Mira Ghaly - Joy In My Song

انجيل قداس عيد الميلاد - المعلم ثروت

Lyrics:

On a chilly morning one day
In the desert far away
One monk went to the garden
As usual to pray

He saw a strange glow
A grape vine hanging low
But this was not the season
For any grapes to grow

(The monk didn’t wait
Rushed to the monastery’s gate) x2
(And gave it to the Abbott
St Macarious the Great) x2

St. Macarious said who
Should I give this vine to?
Finally he walked to the cell  
Of the eldest monk he knew

He said take this my dear
You are the eldest here
And when you get the blessing
We’ll all be of good cheer

(The monk reluctantly
Took it but so quickly) x2
(Thought how can I enjoy it
When my brothers sleep hungry) x2

He gave it to the monk next door
And it went from door to door
It came back to the abbot
At the end of its tour

St Macaious the Great 
He rose up right away
Asking all the monks to gather 
And hear what he had to say

(He said I clearly see
Seeds of love growing here) x2
(And this grape vine 
Is my sure sign) x2

(Our Lord made us aware
We are light of the world) x2
(And when it’s shining bright
It can never ever hide) x2

Mira Ghaly - Fix Me

No Dont Leave Me Alone - Arsany

Lyrics:

Oh you who loves me,
and for me came and to me called while I was in chains 
You waited on me 
and you held my broken heart throughout my life

(Why did you love me?
what good is in me?)x2 
I am a sinner, full of much evil
but willingly You came to live inside me

Oh you who loves me,
deep in Your heart is grace that fills me and cleanses my sins
Your hand that guides me 
and your kindness it comforts me throughout all my days 

(Why did you love me?
what good is in me?)x2 
I am a sinner, full of much evil
but willingly You came to live inside me

Oh you who loves me,
under your feet, I pour my fragrance and worship You
Jesus you love me
I live for you, I am your servant giving up my heart 

(Why did you love me?
what good is in me?)x2 
I am a sinner, full of much evil
but willingly You came to live inside me

Oh You Who Loved Me - Ft. Gaby Youssef

How Could I Forget

These are my songs I wrote and produced. Very raw versions tho.

1825 Your laughter

O Thou in whose presence delighteth my soul
And whom in my distress I call
My comfort by day and my refuge by night
My stronghold whenever I fall.

Shepherd of my soul I beg Thee to tell
Where thou keepest thy sheep to rest
For why should I roam in the valley of tears
And wander as one who is lost.

I ask thee to tell me daughters of Zion
Have ye seen the One I adore
I seek him in vain in the night of my soul
But lo! I can find Him no more.

Shepherd of my soul I shall follow Thee
O how sweet Thy voice is to me
So guide me and lead me and show me the way
My only desire is Thee.

I am my beloved’s and He is mine too
He calleth me sister and spouse
O how do I long for the day we shall wed
In heaven in His Father’s house.

O Thou In Whose Presence

You Are My Hiding Place (English, Arabic, French)
