No don't leave me alone,
O my faithful Shepherd
Guide me dear Master 
and be unto me a helper

(I am O Lord without You
nothing at all) 2x
(So take my right hand O Lord
and guide me, in Your way forever) x2

And don't leave me alone
in the midst of this darkness 
Let Your bright face guide me
O Lord unto peace

(I am O Lord without You
nothing at all) x2
(So take my right hand O Lord
and guide me, in Your way forever) x2

And don't leave me alone
but hear my prayers
And be there for me dear Lord 
for the rest of my life

(I am O Lord without You
nothing at all) x2
(So take my right hand O Lord
and guide me, in Your way forever) x2

And don't leave me alone
because of my sins
But forgive me O Lord
and accept my repentance

(I am O Lord without You
nothing at all) x2
(So take my right hand O Lord
and guide me, in Your way forever) x2

No don't leave me alone
in the midst of this world 
But come quickly O Lord 
and take me to Heaven

(I am O Lord without You
nothing at all) x2
(So take my right hand O Lord
and guide me, in Your way forever) x2

No Don’t Leave Me Alone

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.

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.”

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!”

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

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!”

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

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!”

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

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!”

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

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!”

You’re the True Shepherd

I place my soul into Your hands,
My Lord Jesus Christ
Lead me ‘cause I depend on You, 
Lead me and I’ll serve You 
Please be my guide in every way,
Be my guard I won’t go astray 
Sanctify my heart and my needs, 
Until I see You Lord

(As You have always said
O source of all goodness) 2x
Come unto Me O you weary, 
Come unto Me and you’ll find rest
Come unto Me I am the Way,
I am the Truth and Life

When my life gets filled with worries
And darkness overwhelms
The clouds will be dispersed away
By You O Prince of Peace
You are my shield You are my hope,
You are my strength You are my goal
You are the perfect love O Lord,
Of whom then shall I fear?

(As You have always said
O source of all goodness) 2x
Come unto Me O you weary, 
Come unto Me and you’ll find rest
Come unto Me I am the Way,
I am the Truth and Life

You are my Shepherd I’ll not want,
Lead me to still waters
Restore my soul I’m calling You,
Lead me to righteousness
Though I walk through the Death Valley,
With You I will fear no evil
You are my comfort staff and rod,
All the days of my life

(As You have always said
O source of all goodness) 2x
Come unto Me O you weary, 
Come unto Me and you’ll find rest
Come unto Me I am the Way,
I am the Truth and Life

Come take your cross and follow Me,
Fear not I am with thee
Cheer up I’ve overcome the world, 
Your tears I’ll wipe away
I showed you My love on the cross,
And if You’re faithful unto death
I will give you eternal life,
Come now and follow Me

(As You have always said
O source of all goodness) 2x
Come unto Me O you weary, 
Come unto Me and you’ll find rest
Come unto Me I am the Way,
I am the Truth and Life

I Place my Soul into Your Hands

Have you seen Him?
The one I love
Have you seen Him
The Holy Man
Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice
Have you heard Him?
The great I Am

I am dark but 
I am lovely 
Among the thorns I am 
His rose and lily
His banner over me 
Is love and grace
And nothing gives me joy
Like His tender face 

Have you seen Him?
The one I love
Have you seen Him
The Holy Man
Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice 
Have you heard Him?
The great I Am

Come and meet Him
Sit at His feet
Drink in His beauty
It set me free
I was wounded 
Broken and empty
But His spirit
Rushed in and filled me 
I was waiting 
For life and healing 
But His sweet eyes alone
Restored my feeling 

Have you seen Him?
The one I love
Have you seen Him
The Holy Man
Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice 
Have you heard Him?
The great I Am

The oil I poured on Him
Could not consume
His sweet aroma
It filled the room

Have you seen Him?
The one I love
Have you seen Him
The Holy Man
Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice 
Have you heard Him?
The great I Am

Have You Seen the One I Love

Coptic Wedding Gospel ~ Cantor Tharwat

ABC (Prod. SWNY)

Your star appeared to the magi, •
O king who is prior to time. •
O you tribes of the earth, •
gather together to worship him; •
he who was born upon the earth.

A visible marvel, the magi saw. • 
Life [himself] emerged and came forth. • 
They offered their gifts to him, • 
praising God who was born, saying, • 
“Glory be to you, O holy one.”

Behold, the Virgin has given birth! • 
[Son of] God has become [Son of] man! • 
God the Logos came to us! • 
Great is this mystery: • 
the birth of Emmanuel.

She came to be a temple for God. • 
This miracle is wonderful. • 
He chose to dwell within her. • 
O you tribes of the earth, • 
let us bless this holy place. 

The rod in the hand of Aaron • 
dwelt with God and befriended him . • 
Her branches sprouted and blossomed • 
by means of the magi and the Hebrews.  • 
Draw near to bow down to him.

Light from Light dawned on us • 
and we have abounded in joy, • 
singing and chanting with the magi, • 
“O faithless [ones], let us believe • 
in the coming of [the Lord] Christ."
