At The Cross (O Lord You've Searched Me)

Instrumental: Youssef Asaad

￼Lord as I read the psalms
Let me hear You singing
As I read Your words
Let me hear You speaking
As I reflect on each page
Let me see Your image
As I seek to put Your precepts into practice
Let my heart be filled with joy

Lord as I serve the poor
Reveal Your humility
As I love the outcast
Let me meet Your tender eyes
As I kneel before You
Let me feel Your smile
As I pursue virtue repentance and solitude
Let me find You every day

Lord, Let Me—Prayer of St. Gregory Nazianzen

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.


Pope Shenouda's Poem "My Throbbing Heart"  قلبي الخفاق (Qalby El Khafaq in English) with Oud

Cha kutumaini sina
Ila damu yake bwana
Si - na wema wakutosha
Dhambi zangu kuziosha

Chorus: 
Kwa-ke Yesu nasimama,
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.

On Christ the Solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.

Verse 2:
Nja yangu iwe ndefu
Yeye hunipa wokovu
Mawimbi yakinipiga
Nguvu zake ndizo nanga

When darkness veils His loving face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the vale.

Chorus: 
Kwa-ke Yesu nasimama,
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.

On Christ the Solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.

Verse 3:
Damu yake na sadaka 
natagemea daima
Yote chini yakiisha
mwokozi atanitosha.

His oath, His covenant, His blood,
support me in the ‘whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

Chorus: 
Kwa-ke Yesu nasimama,
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.

On Christ the Solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.

Verse 4:
Nikitwa hukumuni
rohoni nina amani
Nikivikwa haki yake
sina hofu mbele zake.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
dressed-in His righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne.

Chorus: 
Kwa-ke Yesu nasimama,
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.

On Christ the Solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.

Chorus:
Kwa-ke Yesu nasimama,
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.

Kwa-ke Yesu nasimama,
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.

On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand (Kwake Yesu Nasimama)

Bishop Abakir Song "3en El Rab"

No Dont Leave Me Alone - Arsany

Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pJlDUT5bR4&list=RD6pJlDUT5bR4&index=1&ab_channel=ProjectSyriac

Lyrics:
(I was hungry many times
My nature desired food
But I stopped and did not eat
To become worthy of the 
Blessing reserved for those who fast) x2

My muddy nature 
demands a splash of water
but I let it dry out
so that it is washed
by the dew of Paradise

(I was hungry many times
My nature desired food
But I stopped and did not eat
To become worthy of the 
Blessing reserved for those who fast) x2

My mind became an altar
And my will became a priest
And like a pure lamb 
I slaughtered myself
And offered sacrifice

(I was hungry many times
My nature desired food
But I stopped and did not eat
To become worthy of the 
Blessing reserved for those who fast) x2

Syriac Orthodox Lent Hymn by St. Ephrem the Syrian (from Syriac Music Choir)

I’m just a little donkey,
That’s all I’ll ever be. 
I carry and I toil,
And that’s enough for me. 

I’m just a little donkey,
No one looks my way. 
But today something’s different. 
It seems a special day. 

The One who came to ride me,
Loved me right away
We rode into the city 
And heard the people say

Hosanna to the Great King,
Save us by Your name. 
Upon palms I was walking,
They shouted as we came. 

Who is this Rider with me?
His hands I feel I know. 
What gift did they give me,
I remember them so?

These hands upon my back,
Made me from the dust. 
Long ago, they formed me,
So serve Him well I must. 

I’m just a little donkey,
That’s all I want to be. 
I carried the Almighty,
In His humility. 

Horses have kings,
And steeds have their knights. 
But I’m a lowly being,
Who carried the True Light

Truly light He is,
And so is His burden.
He doesn’t weigh me down.
He lifts me to heaven

I’m just a little donkey,
There isn’t much I know. 
But I hope that you’ll believe me,
When I tell you so:

I wouldn’t be a monkey, 
A lion, or a man. 
Because today this little donkey,
Carried the I AM. 

Won’t you be a little donkey,
Serving the great King?
Walk in humility,
And you’ll soon find Him riding. 

Bring Him to the people,
And they’ll all be merry.
Not just because of you,
But the One that you carry. 

It’s enough now what I’ve brayed,
I hope that you’ll join me. 
In thanking God He made,
Me, a little donkey.

A Little Donkey

Today, He is suspended on the tree
He who suspended the Earth on the waters 

Today, He is suspended on the tree
He who suspended the Earth on the waters
 
Today, He is suspended on the tree
He who suspended the Earth on the waters 

He is crowned with a crown of thorns 
He who is the King of angels

He is wrapped with the purple robe of mockery
He who wrapped the heavens with clouds 

He receives smitings as a slave 
He who freed Adam from the Jordan 

He is transfixed with nails 
The Son of the Virgin was pierced with a spear 

We worship Your Passion, O Christ 
We worship Your Passion, O Christ 
We worship Your Passion, O Christ 

Show us also Your glorious resurrection!

Today He is Suspended on the Tree | اليوم علق علي خشبه

(Chorus)
Be strengthened O my soul 
Be ready for eternity 
Arise and be enlightened  
And forsake all sin
Your life belongs to Your God
Jesus, the savior of mankind
For He awaits you	
With His strong love

Do not look, O my soul
At your dark condition
For the Lord has called you
The most beautiful among women
Be vigilant in your prayers
And look up to heaven 
Be strong in your struggles
And cling to Him with hope

Be strengthened O my soul 
Be ready for eternity 
Arise and be enlightened  
And forsake all sin
Your life belongs to Your God
Jesus, the savior of mankind
For He awaits you	
With His strong love

In the night while on my bed
I sought the lover of my soul
I sought, but I found 
My cup full of sins
But He awaits my return
He runs to me from afar
I will not forsake You, Lord
Restore me again, O my God

Be strengthened O my soul 
Be ready for eternity 
Arise and be enlightened  
And forsake all sin
Your life belongs to Your God
Jesus, the savior of mankind
For He awaits you	
With His strong love

I lie sleeping
But my heart is awake
Awaiting my beloved’s voice
O Lord come speedily to my help
Take ownership of my life
Remove from me all distress
Grant me that I may
Live with You forever

Be strengthened O my soul 
Be ready for eternity 
Arise and be enlightened  
And forsake all sin
Your life belongs to Your God
Jesus, the savior of mankind
For He awaits you	
With His strong love

Come O lover of my soul
For my heart is yearning
Draw me close to You
And into Your depth
Count me among the sheep
At Your right hand
Accept me in Your kingdom
When the time comes

Be strengthened O my soul 
Be ready for eternity 
Arise and be enlightened  
And forsake all sin
Your life belongs to Your God
Jesus, the savior of mankind
For He awaits you	
With His strong love


Be Strengthened O My Soul (تقوي يا نفسي)

Hear My Prayer! The first of many Biblically-inspired albums, Prayers by our favourite Bible characters come to life with the prayerful tunes of our youth...

Prayer Of Manasseh

Refrain:
In one of my dreams, while sleeping in peace
I saw three fathers and a soldier strong yet meek
In one of my dreams a great and beautiful scene
I saw three fathers and a soldier strong yet meek

One had a long white beard, old in age and held a rod
He lived in a distant cave, held the writings that he taught
His sayings were plenty and the demons he fought
(My beloved Abba Anthony may his blessings be with me) 2x
Quickly I ran to him, kissed the cross in his hand
He urged me to remember from sin I must withstand

The second had a sack, carried it on his back
He walked around with care and from it sin poured 
He said these are my sins in God’s mercy do not doubt
(My beloved Abba Moses the strong and the holy) 2x
Quickly I ran to him to bear my sufferings
He urges me to remember the way of repentance

The third was kneeling down in the corner of his room
He had a bowl of water with love he was consumed
He lived with our Lord, washed the feet of the Bridegroom
(My beloved Abba Pishoy with love in Christ he grew) 2x
Quickly I ran to him, in peace he let me in
He urged me to remember have love for all humans 

And the soldier was standing lifting up his hands
A red cloak on his shoulders, two camels in the sand 
Armor on his chest, the monastery behind him
(My beloved St.Mina the faithful intercessor) 2x
Quickly I ran to him, with open arms he came my way 
He urged me to remember be steadfast in the faith

Lamentations of Jeremiah - Fr. Paul Girguis (Holy Week 2018 - St. Mark DC)

Hear my cry I pray to thee
And to my voice incline Your ear
Hold me and have mercy upon me (2x)
For You O Lord I'm in great need (2x)

My soul is troubled in the deep
And my eyes are full of tears
Now I remember you indeed (2x)
For Your salvation is near (2x)

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

My heart is trembling in great fear
And my head is wrapped in weeds
Out of the depths I cried to Thee (2x)
Save my soul and set me free (2x)

God ordered the whale in the sea
To safely drop Jonah in peace
In the whale's belly Jonah kneels (2x)
And thank the Lord for His great deeds (2x)

Hear my cry I pray to thee
And to my voice incline Your ear
Hold me and have mercy upon me (2x)
For You O Lord I'm in great need (2x)

Hear My Cry
