Return to Me
A song about the Prodigal Son

the son said, “father i must go,
i wish not to stay here you know,
the world has much I want to see,
I hope that you will not stop me.
I see riches, I see gold
I see goods that I uphold
though it hurts to see you cry
I must bid you this last goodbye”

the father looked down lovingly
saying, “if you walk away from me
i will miss you with all of my heart
but even if you do depart
i will be waiting for you here
no matter if it takes you years
you are my son until the end
and I pray i will see you again”

the son left from his father’s place
with a smile on his face
ready to be free and grow
oh but little did he know
the world of pleasures has a cost
beware your soul may be lost
if you consume these earthly things 
and forget the joy your father brings 

the father looked out lovingly				
saying, “though you walked away from me
i miss you with all of my heart
but even though you did depart
I am waiting for you here
no matter if it takes you years
you are my son until the end
And I pray I will see you again”

the son quickly consumed his wealth
lost his food and lost his health
all his friends had left his side
so now he had to decide
should he live in misery,
watching pigs roam happily,
or return to his father’s place
to serve him for the rest of his days

the father looked out lovingly,
saying “son you have returned to me,
I have waited all this time
praying for you to be mine
let us kill the fattened calf
So we can sing and dance and laugh
to celebrate my son who died
who now has been brought back to life”

Return to Me

تسبحة كيهك قبطي لفريق أبو فام كاملة

تسبحة نصف الليل قبطي كاملة - تسبحة كيهك قبطي - ابو فام

Lyrics 

Hello Lord, I just have one question 
Did You forget to mention how I could deserve what You just did 
Cuz all I know is You put me in this heavenly place
And all I did was break Your heart and run away
But still You gave 

You gave me Your only Son 
You made me Your chosen one 
You took the load I could not bear and made it Yours 
Somehow You chose to be weak as me 
You chose to feel my pain my fear
Walked in these shoes 
Felt every joy and every loss 
Somehow You saw all of me and still You chose to come
And chose the cross

*Chosen*
 I just want to say 
 I know that I cannot repay 
The debt I'm in so I’ll just pray 
I’ll praise Your name in disbelief
Oh at the love that You’ve shown me 
And say today that all I am is Yours 
For it was You who gave 

You gave me Your only Son 
You made me Your chosen one 
You took the load I could not bear and made it Yours 
Somehow You chose to be weak as me 
You chose to feel my pain my fear
Walked in these shoes 
Felt every joy and every loss 
Somehow You saw all of me and still You chose to come
And chose the cross

But how could the Creator 
Choose to be the creature
Choose to feel my weakness
Choose to make me whole? 
He said I will come my daughter 
So you know how much I love you 
So when you cry to Me you’ll know that I’ve cried too 
So in your pain you know that I understand 
So you read this story and know I have a plan 

I’ll give you my only Son 
My love you are my chosen one 
I’ll take the the load you cannot bear I will make it mine 
Yes I will choose to be weak you 
And choose to feel your pain and fear too 
And in your shoes I'll know every joy and every loss 
Yes I see all of you my love 
And I still choose to come 
And I still choose the cross

Lyrics: 

Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life
For my sake, He did lay
Himself down and took my shame

All my worries He did free
The Logos, The Almighty 
Son of God, The Righteous One
Our Saviour, King of everyone

Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life
For my sake, He did lay
Himself down and took my shame
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed his life
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life

Served everyone, He didn't mind
Came to save and heal the blind
He is love and humility 
Born to die for humanity 

Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life
For my sake, He did lay
Himself down and took my shame
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed his life
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life

Was taken to be crucified
The innocent One chose to die
Hung and nailed to a tree
All for the sake of you and me

Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life
For my sake, He did lay
Himself down and took my shame
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed his life
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life

After three days He Rose from the dead
Destroyed all Satan's defense 
He promised He will come again
Our hope in Him will never end 

Christ Who lived 
Christ Who died
Rose and saved 
The dead and alive 
Said I’m here 
You're finally free
My child you belong to Me

Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life
For my sake, He did lay
Himself down and took my shame
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed his life
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life

Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
To Him I owe all my life

Ya Kol Al Sofof - Resurrection Procession

Monday Psali

O Mary - Virgin Mary and St. Athanasius

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

In One of My Dreams (ft. Erin Melek)

“Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your tabernacle.”
Psalms 43:3
