Agpeya: The First Hour (Prime)

Refrain:
O my Master how cruel was the shameful death of the cross
before it carried You, You carried it
O righteous One

1) You asked for water, You tasted vinegar
and all bitterness,
Your blood flowed from Your body,
to save all sinners

2) Upon the cross, O my Beloved
You suffered much pain
by those who caused Your suffering
yet You forgave their sins

3) All this my Lord,
to bring me back
in Your protection, I’ll live with You
and You will comfort me

4) Oh that my heart, may treasure You
so that I may attain You
and live sincerely
in submission to You

O My Master | يا سيدي كم كان قاسياً

When I Feel Worried- Paul Mankarious

O MARY

Lyrics:

One day You passed by me
You saw chains on my hands
I saw with my own eyes
Tears for me in Your eyes

One day I passed by You
I saw my chains on Your hands
I’m free because of You
Then tears filled my eyes

(“How much, Lord, did You pay
To set me free?” I asked
“My son, it is a lot,
But not too much for you.”) x2

One day by me You’ll pass
About my freedom You’ll ask
Feeling my slavery
Although in You I’m free

My sins have bounded me
Loving the world around me
I seek my place in it
That I am Yours I forget

(Free yet I am Your slave
Yours for all of my days
Your slave and free I’ll live
To You myself I give.) x2

One Day You Passed By Me - Bolivia Sessions w/ Maria Athnasios

In commemoration of our beloved Pope Shenouda III, this song was written to honor the great impact he had on all of our lives. His book “Have You Seen the One I Love?” describes a beautiful relationship with God that is based on sincere Love and wholehearted devotion. The beginning of the song describes how this relationship of Love with Christ was manifest in the lives of three women: The Shulamite, St. Photini (the Woman at the Well) and the Woman with the alabaster box. The second half of the song describes how Pope Shenouda’s love for his flock affected us deeply and taught us, by
example, to search with all our hearts, all our minds and all our souls for the One we love. We still feel his love and prayers today and hope that each of us can live the life of love and holiness that he embodied.

Have You Seen the One I Love? (Tribute to HHPS III)

His Sweet Voice - Erin Melek & Anthony Marcos feat. Father Suriel Costandi
Oud by Moura Raghib

Once I wandered so far away
from my Good Savior Jesus.
He came to me, He who saved me,
and called for me to return.

Refrain: 
His sweet voice did call me, call me:
“Prolong not thy straying away.
O dear child, return quickly, 
and come to Me, come to Me!”

Cruel thorns left my feet to bleed out,
wounds and agony unparalleled.
I heard the Voice call out to me,
“Thou art in error, return.”

Never did I ever care to 
heed to Him, nor to His words.
Therefore I walked away with His
warnings of pain in contempt.

My path grew ever more treacherous,
menacing darkness has prevailed.
I cried in my profound anguish:
“Where is Thy delightful Face?”

My grief has exceeded limits
due to my straying away. 
Desolated, I requested: 
“O my Savior! Come to me!”

Straightaway, a light shone brightly,
O how radiant it was!
My tender Redeemer with a
smile appeared to my aid.

A Stranger by Pope Shenouda III
