We live in peace with our Savior 

Nayrouz the beginning of the year 
When we remember our martyrs 
Who defended faith without fear   
They live in peace with our Savior 

If Satan comes to divide us 
Jesus' voice will gather us 
And His peace will be with us 
We live in peace with our Savior 

Our fathers followed Jesus’ light 
Fought the evil day and night 
And received crowns of light 
They live in peace with our Savior

Hasten O Righteous, Hasten

(My God, my God be my leader
In the way to the cross so I learn)x2
(I see You weak
While You are the mighty
Pardoning and forgiving
Every trespasser)x2

Refrain:
(Deal with me, as You will
For You’re my only companion)x2
(You are my refuge
In every trial
I hasten to You
For protection)x2 

(The cross of shame
You have carried
With all pride
Have lifted it up)x2
(To the Golgotha
Where you placed it
On a high hill
And set it up)x2

Refrain

(You left Yourself
On the cross of shame
Submitting to it
In all perseverance)x2
(I hear the beat of Your heart
With the beat of the nails
Declaring Your Love to me
O Holy and Righteous One)x2

Refrain

(What an amazing work
And godly secret
I become a partaker
Of my Beloved’s nature)x2
(The whispers of His love
melt the heart
I became His captive
And took Him as my portion)x2

Refrain

My God My God

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.
