Asomen Spanish

Lyrics:

She came with the spices
To thy tomb O Lord,
Knowing not that Thou
Above the earth had soared.
She came void of all hope;
She came expecting death;
Forgetting the Life-Giver
Who is the living breath.

In trials and tribulations,
Do we not do the same:
Looking at our errors,
Despairing in our blame?
How often do we wallow,
Abandoning all hope –
As though on our own –
With burden we could cope.

If Peter lost all hope when
Our Lord exposed his sin,
Luke would not record
The three thousand he would win.
If Paul considered nothing
But his murderous past,
Would his inspired letters
To this generation last?

Moses’ life was evil,
Every sin he did commit,
But from this desert bandit,
A shining lamp was lit.
If Mary, Egypt’s harlot,
Had not tried to win his grace,
Would she now be in heaven –
Would she have won the race?

Our Lord set an example,
Compelled, we do the same:
Fight, strive, persevere and
On us will be no blame.
If our loving Saviour
Had not endured all pain,
Would Redemption and Salvation
Ever be our gain?

I come now with hope
To Thy Tomb O Lord,
Knowing that in Truth,
Above the earth Thou soared,
I come now with joy,
I come expecting life;
Knowing that through Thee
I can endure all strife.

She Came With The Spices

Festive - Long Hiten - Bola Monir

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

Liturgy Of The Faithful - Fr. Antonious Ibrahim Ayad

Asomen (Arabic, English, Coptic)

Don’t Get Used to Me

This song is a raw and emotional self-apology turned into empowerment. I Want to Apologize is about owning the pain of staying where you didn’t belong, choosing others over yourself, and finally realizing your worth. It’s a confession, a release, and a promise to never settle again. For anyone who’s ever forgotten their own value—this one’s for you.


I Want To Apologies

Repentant Heart (Feat: Olivia Morcos, Andro Bottros & Marian Botros)

This melody is found in Upper Egypt, specifically in Moharraq Monastery, the church of St. John of Heraclia and in Assiut. The cantors that preserved this song were Cantor Tawfik Youssef, Cantor Habib Hennawy and Cantor Fayez of Assiut.. In Arabic its title is "Ah ya nayem". It is to be chanted liturgically during communion on Bright Saturday AFTER Banoudi Banoudi (Panouti Panouti). 

Refrain: 
Lord at rest, • Lord at rest, • Lord at rest, • in the tomb. 
Are you living, • or dead? • "I live • forever." 

On the day of • your crucifixion, • you were silent • and still. 
Rise quickly, • O beloved. • Scoffers claim that • you’ve been killed.

Hearts afflicted • wait for you. • Those who mourn • call out to you.
We have no other • comforter. • There is no other • king but you.

David the prophet, • concerning me, • said my body • will not decay.
Rest assured, then, • that my body • is not abandoned, • left to lay.

Lazarus, come • forth untied; • see the tomb of • mystery.
Jesus Christ, • who gave you life, • was crucified • on the tree.

I am living. • I am coming • to take those • who believe
To my throne, • to my glory, • to my kingdom, • eternally.

I will wipe • every tear • from the eyes • of my sheep.
I will gird myself • and serve you, • O my children, • with victory.

Our souls yearn • for you deeply, • O dormant one in • the sepulcher.
Will you rise • and return, • or from us • have you turned?

I have finished • my saving work, • as was written • in the scriptures.
Your redemption • was not completed • till I bore death • and suffered.

Cast away • all fear, • and remove •all worry.
I've defeated • my enemies. • I will rise and • set you free.

He whose hands were • pierced has risen. • Risen is the • King of Peace.
Putting to shame the • adversary. • Truly risen, • King of Glory.
