One Day You Passed By Me

Written by an Anonymous Coptic Orthodox Christian.

Lyrics
I’ve seen the world, done it all, grasped the Wind now
Vanities, luxuries, nothing’s new now
I Had my cake, ate it all
Filled my heart with big and small
Saw how dawn, turns down to day
How nothing gold can ever stay 

Will You accept me, if I return now, lost but Hopeful? 
Will You accept me, if I return now, with an Aching soul? 
I pray You will, I pray You will, I pray that You Will. 
Will You accept me, if I return now, from my Crucible? 

I’ve seen the world, had it all, it’s my Addiction 
Successes, victories, courtesy of ambition
My sin is sweet, leaves me empty 
Joy escapes me, my needs tempt me  
In all my ways, I sing a song
Only with You, will I belong 

Will You accept me, if I return now, lost but Hopeful? 
Will You accept me, if I return now, with an Aching soul? 
I pray You will, I pray You will, I pray that You Will. 
Will You accept me, if I return now, from my Crucible? 

Daughter, when will you abandon
This house you’ve built on sand?
When you come, to the living water
with Me alone you’ll stand 
All that pain
All that sorrow 
All that strain 
Won’t last you until tomorrow
You’re my daughter, for you I died, for you died 

I will accept you, if you return now, lost but Hopeful. 
I will accept you, if you return now,
With an aching soul. 
I know I will, I know I will, I know that I will 
I will accept you, if you return now, from your crucible.

Will You Accept Me?

Beautiful Zambian Prayer song that I learned during my recent visit: 

Ndikufuna kukhala ngati Yesu mumtima 
Mumtima, Mumtima Alleluia 
Ndikufuna Kukhala ngati Yesu mumtima 

Lord I want to be like Jesus in my heart
In my heart, in my heart Alleluia 
Lord I want to be like Jesus in my heart 

In My Heart

I was the secret, the second life
The patch of sun for a man at night
He said he lived in a house of glass
With a fragile heart he had to pass
He told me, "I can lead her where I will"
A silent void for him to fill
And I felt chosen, I felt so strong
To hold the man who couldn't be alone

I was the scaffolding, holding up the man
Propping up the ruin, with my trembling hands
He leaned on my weakness, I called it a plan
I was the scaffolding, not part of the land
Just a temporary structure, in the shifting sand

He'd talk in circles of his despair
Of mental clouds and the heavy air
And I drank the poison, I felt his pain
While his wife at home was chasing rain
She forgave a ghost, she never knew
The man in my arms, so untrue
He built his cage and called it fate
And used her love as a welcome plate

I was the scaffolding, holding up the man
Propping up the ruin, with my trembling hands
He leaned on my weakness, I called it a plan
I was the scaffolding, not part of the land
Just a temporary structure, in the shifting sand

And when I finally walked away
I saw the game the clear of day
He didn't crumble, he didn't break
He just turned back for heaven's sake
To the one who'd always let him in
To the co-dependent, toxic spin
I was just a tool, a fleeting beam
In the architecture of his dream

Now he's back home, playing his part
A mended man with a broken heart
And I'm just ghost, a story told
A piece of scaffolding, bought and sold.
Just scaffolding... rusting in the cold.
Yeah, just scaffolding... a story never told.

Holy Week

3rd Canticle (Bright Saturday - Live)

Come to us today, • O Christ our Master. • Enlighten us • with Your eminent divinity.
Send upon us • this great grace • of Your Holy Spirit • the Paraclete -

That I may speak, • with meager honors, • about Your name, • holy and blessed.
This which was glorified • by the mouths of the righteous, • Your holy ones • dwelling on the earth.

These who wander • in the deserted mountains • in hunger and thirst, • in frost and cold.
Needy, afflicted • and suffering, • according to the word • of Paul the apostle.

Yet, Your holy name, • O my Lord Jesus, • is victory to them • in all their tribulations.
Your holy name, • O my Lord Jesus, • delivers them • from all their hardships.

It is, to them, • [a] living food, • sustaining their souls • along with their bodies.
It is, to them • a fountain of living water • sweet in their palates • more so than honey.

When they yield it • their heart will rejoice. • Likewise, their bodies • will blossom [and flourish].
When they utter it, • their mind will be illumined. • Likewise, their heart • will ascend to the heights.

Tuesday Psalia 01

Trample O' my soul

Fix me - Lyrics

All I could hear in my in my ear
Was  fix me fix me fix me please
Fix this broken heart
These shattered dreams 
The girl that got lost inside of me 
The words I said
The lies I fed
Please Fix me
God fix me
For if life has taught me anything at all
It’s that when I can choose Lord I always choose wrong


And I will wait till You hear me
I will wait until I’m free
I will wait till on Your shoulders You’ll carry me
Home in Your arms 
Safe from all harm
Till you save me from this broken road I’m on
And though it’s hard and it’s dark and I can’t see
I will wait for You to fix me

All I could hear in my head in my ear
Was just give up He is not coming back 
Well look at yourself
Look at all you lack 
Oh tell me why would He ever want to face that
But I heard You scream right through daughter I’m waiting for you 
see the world has shut their ears for they take lightly the innocent eyes tears￼
So I’m waiting until the Lord will hear

And I will wait till You hear me
I will wait until I’m free
I will wait till on Your shoulders You’ll carry me
Home in Your arms 
Safe from all harm
Till you save me from this broken road I’m on
And though it’s hard and it’s dark and I can’t see
I will wait for You to fix me
 
I waited silently broken but you came 
I waited lost but never afraid 
I waited longer but always with hope
I waited to find You had never let me go
I waited ￼though they all waited on me
I waited Lord and now I am free
I waited and now I can clearly see
That every broken soul’s cry
My God hears
My God He hears

And I will wait till You hear me
I will wait until I’m free
I will wait till on Your shoulders You’ll carry me
Home in Your arms 
Safe from all harm
Till you save me from this broken road I’m on
And though it’s hard and it’s dark and I can’t see
Lord I will wait for You to fix me

And Lord it was hard it got dark and I couldn’t see
But I waited on You my God and You fixed me

Fix Me

Asaph Tunes aims to encourage young Orthodox Christian artists to write, compose and sing new songs using contemporary music
Description
Music is an integral part of our make up as human beings. Music has always been found to inspire many different emotions in the human soul that nothing else could. This is not a twenty first century find but it has been right from the beginning of creation. We read in the book of Genesis hidden among a long list of names of the sons of Adam and Eve, and only four generations removed from them a character who’s name is Jubal, the bible says about him that “he was the father of all those who play the harp and flute.” Genesis 4:21. Later on we know that David not only wrote psalms that were and are still used for worship but he also assigned musicians and chief musician who’s primary role is to play music in the temple worship.
The Orthodox Church has always embraced music in its worship; some of the music that is used in the Orthodox Church worship have stood the test of time and have until today taken the worshippers into a spiritual realm that prepared them for receiving the Holy Eucharist.

Historically music was not restricted to church worship alone but there are many saints who have offered the church a great library of songs and poems that taught Christians their orthodox faith against the many heresies. A perfect example of this in the Coptic Church is the mid-night psalmody especially the Theotokia (praises to saint Mary) which very accurately spells out the Orthodox Church’s theology of St Mary. Other contemporary examples are the many poems of the late Pope Shenouda III.

It is for this reason that Asaph Tunes, aims is to encourage young Orthodox Christian artists to write, compose and sing new songs using contemporary music. A very important aspect of a song is its educational value that it offers to listeners. In other words the lyrics must present a substantial theological teaching about the Orthodox Church teaching and theology. Asaph Tunes role is to encourage and present the work of those artists to the best quality and provide it in the most common media available such as iTunes and sound cloud and various other internet radios stations.
