Happy Feast! 

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!

Lyrics below, taken from Matt Maher's original. 

"Lord, I Need You"

Lord, I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You're the One that guides my heart

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus, You're my hope and stay

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

You're my one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Lord I Need You

Lyrics:

R: Oh you oh great Potter
I'm like the clay between your hands
Come create in me a new vessel 
That is pleasing before your eyes 

I give myself to you freely 
To your fingers that fashion me
I will not grieve nor relent 
I long you for you to work in me 

I come to you with all my vices
I trust in your grace and hand
My heart now I devote to you
Not to my despair nor my past

Oh You Oh Great Potter

Hold My Hand O Lord

Psalm 50 (Create In Me)

Weeks of Lent (Feat: Stephen Meawad)

“O Beloved” recalls the salvation we have been granted by our Lord Jesus Christ. He suffered, was ridiculed, condemned, smitten, abused, and was crucified before rising from the dead, effectively raising us from our death in sin. The path of suffering is the same path that led to triumphant glory. We live in His resurrection, so now when we share in His sufferings, when we struggle against evil, when we sacrifice ourselves for the love and salvation of the world, we are also active and faithful participants in His glorious resurrection!

O Beloved

Fill My Cup, Lord!

Psalm 29
I will exalt You, O Lord for You lifted me out of the depths
And did not let my enemies gloat over me 
O my God I called to You for help and You healed me
You brought me up from the grave, You spared me from going to the pit

Chorus: 
Sing to the Lord You saints of His; praise His holy name
For His anger lasts a moment, but His favor a lifetime
Sing to the Lord You saints of His; praise His holy name
Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning

When I felt secure I said, "I will not be shaken"
O Lord, when You favored me You made my mountain stand firm
But when You hid Your face I was dismayed
To You, O Lord, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy

What gain is there in my destruction, in my going to the pit?
Will the dust praise You, will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me
O Lord my God be my help

You turned my wailing into dancing
You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy
That my heart may sing to You and not be silent
O Lord my God, I will give You thanks forever
Alleluia, alleluia 


Psalm 29

A translation/rewrite of the Arabic spiritual song "F Yom Mn El Ayam".

Lyrics:
Chorus:
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

Verse 1:
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) x2

Quickly I ran to him
Kissed the cross in his hand
He urged me to remember
From sin I must withstand

Verse 2:
The second had a sack
Carried it on his back
He walked around with care
And from it sand poured out
He said these are my sins 
In God's mercy do not doubt

(My beloved Abba Moses
The strong and the holy) X2

Quickly I ran with him
To bear my sufferings
He urged me to remember
The way of repentance

Verse 3:
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) x2

Quickly I ran to him
In peace he let me in
He urged me to remember
Have love for all humans

Verse 4:
And the soldier was standing
Lifting up his hands
A red cloak on his shoulders
Two camels on the sand
Armour on his chest 
The monastery behind him

(My beloved St. Mina
The faithful intercessor) x2

Quickly I ran to him
With open arms he came my way
He urged me to remember
Be steadfast in the faith

When I Feel Worried- Paul Mankarious

Fr. Sorial Memorial CD

In The Midst Of The Raging Sea

Lyrics:

Oh rejoice my soul by singing 
To Jesus your beloved groom
He gave back to you your freedom
Through redemption on the cross
Oh rejoice my soul by singing 
Glorify the name of Christ 
Who offered Himself for you
Remember His bleeding side 

Oh rejoice my soul by singing 
Glorify the name of God
Stay awake always alerted 
Praying to Him, son of God
Be His witness by proclaiming 
The good tidings to all people
Let them know the love of Jesus 
The savior the true redeemer

Oh rejoice my soul by singing 
And wipe away all your tears
Make Him the goal of your life
In Him you will find delight
As salt and light of the earth
Speak out of Jesus' salvation
Dedicate yourself to Him
Our God Jesus the Christ

Oh, Rejoice My Soul!

Marina Samaan's Album

Dear precious Jesus

Lyrics:

One day You passed by me
You saw chains in my hands
And I saw with my eyes 
Tears for me in Your eyes

One day I passed by You
I saw my chains in Your hands
I’m free, because of You 
Then the tears filled my eyes 

“How much, Lord, did You pay
To set me free?”, I asked You
“A lot, except that, my son,
It’s not too much for you” (2)

One day by me You passed
About my freedom You asked
Feeling my slavery
Although in You I’m free

My troubles have bound me
Loving the vain world around me
I seek my place in it
That I’m Yours, I forget

Free yet, I am Your slave
Yours for all of my days 
Your slave and free I will live
To You, myself I give (2)

One Day You Passed By Me

Hymn Hail To You O Mary (English)- Anba Abakir

In my father’s house I was living
In mercy and grace   	
Till I took my share of his wealth
To a distant place      	
(I left my family                           					
So I could be free)x2		
And pursue my own ways         				          	

I set off for a distant country
So far away
My life was wild and more wasteful
With every day 
(Satan deceived me
Attacked and beat me)x2
He threw me in the flames

I became slave to my many sins
And evil deeds
Trying to fill my desires
Paying no heed
(I wasted my fortune
With no thought or caution)x2
And found myself in need

After I had spent everything
I was in need
To those who saw me in those days
I was dead indeed 
(They forgot the old feasts
Days that had long ceased)x2
And left me to my misery

I asked one of the citizens
To have mercy on me
Give me the most despicable job
I will agree 
(He sent me to his field
The swine I had to feed)x2
Their food I longed to eat

I came to myself immediately
To repentance
Went back to my father to ask him
To forgive my sins
(And when he saw me
He ran towards me)x2
And called me beloved son

O sinner listen to me 
And my story
Repent, return to Your Father
In great hurry 
(You’ll find joy and peace
That will never cease)x2
In the shadow of His glory
