I Call On The Lord - with Danny Yousef

يا م ر ي م - فيروز

“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!

Intro to Psalm 150 for the Month of Kiahk (Alleluia)

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

Lyrics:

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

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

(“How much, Lord, did You pay
To set me free?” I asked
“My son, it is a lot,
But not too much for you.”) x2

One day by me You’ll pass
About my freedom You’ll ask
Feeling my slavery
Although in You I’m free

My sins have bounded me
Loving the world around me
I seek my place in it
That I am Yours I forget

(Free yet I am Your slave
Yours for all of my days
Your slave and free I’ll live
To You myself I give.) x2

One Day You Passed By Me - Bolivia Sessions w/ Maria Athnasios

Lyrics:

I start this song with words peacefully
About the pride and brightness of humanity
I place my cares permanently 
Upon Virgin Mary who helps quickly
I reveal and speak my mind openly

How can I speak and what can I say
About the mystery of her virginity
Mary's pregnancy baffles minds mysteriously
It is impossible to explain and say
Even the scholars could not find a way

Ezekiel the prophet spoke about her
He greeted her with peace and said about her
Jesus the King will come to her
He is her Lord and the Creator
He loved her before He had made her

All the arts and all the wonders
Even the sayings of the scholars
Her virginity we should not ponder
Our Almighty Lord is the real wonder
Who dwelt in her womb as a Child to her

By His will He suffered and was crucified
He rose from the dead after He died
The Son of Man raised men who died
From the depths of Hades to the Paradise
He returned man to the Paradise of light

The salvation of the creation appeared from
The pure and chosen Virgin Mount Zion
Her pregnancy is a mysterious one
To my heart and to my conscience
But nothing is impossible to my Lord, the One

Moses the prophet spoke a great saying,
With an old prophecy that was amazing
He said that God will truly bring
A great prophet with no equal being
Who created the end and the beginning

He saw you in a burning bush with flames
He became amazed and marveled
Many prophesied what would happen
This is a known symbol of Mary
John the Evangelist spoke and preached

All my life I glorify with melodies
I could not refrain, I must reveal
The mysteries of the Mother of Christ
I was entrusted to evangelize
Regardless of any circumstances

Solomon spoke of you in the Song of Songs
Welcome, my sister, for you I long
The aroma of your clothes is sweet
Truly, John the Evangelist spoke
About Virgin Mary in many words

He testified saying "I saw a lady
Clothed in garments full of light
Clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet
And around her head twelve stars shining
Being with a child, she cried out in labor"

There is no doubt that this is true
The moon is no one but John the Baptist
The twelve stars are the twelve apostles
And surely the Sun in the Child Jesus
This is a simple act of the Mighty God

My heart and mind are attatched to you
I have never seen anyone like you
I always confess and do not deny
You are my fortress and my refuge
A harbor to those who are in distress

We asked and were given
We reached the shore of enlightenment
For we believed with all understanding 
And became righteous and carried the yoke
Of Jesus the Mighty One to His people
