Original Arabic words by Fr. Makary Younan
*Related saying by St. Macarius the Egyptian below lyrics!

(Chorus)
Hear my cry Lord, I pray to Thee, 
And to my voice incline Your ear, 
(Hold me and have mercy on me,) x2
(For You O Lord I am in great need.) x2

(Verse 1)
My soul is troubled in the deep, 
And my eyes are full of tears, 
(Now I remembered You indeed,) x2
(For Your salvation is so near.) x2

(Verse 2)
All of the waves came upon me, 
And I was drowned in the deep sea, 
(I asked for help, where could it be) x2 
(But in the hands of my Lord dear.) x2

(Chorus)
So hear my cry Lord, I pray to Thee, 
And to my voice incline Your ear, 
(Hold me and have mercy on me,) x2 
(For You O Lord I am in great need.) x2

(Verse 3)
My heart is trembling in great fear,
And my head is wrapped in weeds, 
(Out of the depths I cried to Thee,) x2
(Save my soul and set me free.) x2

(Verse 4)
God ordered the whale in the sea, 
To safely drop Jonah down in peace, 
(In the whale's belly Jonah kneeled,) x2
(And thanked the Lord for His great deed.) x2

* "Suppose a man were in the middle of a river in full flood, and overwhelmed by the water lay lifeless, drowned, with dreadful monsters all round him. If another man, who is not used to swimming, should wish to save the one who fell in, he too is lost, and is drowned with him. Clearly there is need of a skilled swimmer, an expert, to go out into the depth of the water of the gulf, and dive, and bring up the drowned man there among the monsters...The soul, in the same way, has been plunged and drowned in the abyss of darkness and the deep of death, and is dead and parted from God among dreadful monsters; and who is able to go down into those secret chambers and the depths of hell and death, except that expert Workman who fashioned the body? In His own person He enters into two quarters, into the depth of hell, and into the deep gulf of the heart, where the soul with its thoughts is held fast by death, and brings up out of the darksome hole the Adam that lay dead." + Fifty Spiritual Homilies of St. Macarius the Egyptian (Homily 11.12)

Restore me with Your power, Show me the reign of your glory. 
Fill my heart with your kindness and quench me.
