In the midst of the raging sea,
There I was sailing.
The waves were pounding me,
Making me afraid.
(And it seems That Christ has left me,) x2
(But I no longer see him because of my weak faith) x2

Refrain:
Jesus when he saw me,
Came to me quickly.
In my despair and darkness,
He opened my eyes.
(When I saw him, I cried have mercy) x2
(He came to me quickly and had mercy on me) x2

The sounds of the angry waves,
Agonized my ears.
Darkness of the creeping night,
Has threatened my peace.
(And the tears, have not left my eyes)x2
(And the sleepless nights, have overwhelmed me) x2

I was in despair and drowning,
And my hope is torn.
I came to my beloved Jesus,
Offering him my tears.
(When he saw me, He had compassion on me) x2
(He stretched out his sweet hand, and dried my tears) x2

All You Heavenly Orders

Lyrics:

How could I forget the One who died for me?
How could I forget the side that had to bleed? (2)

He who saw me in my misery, so He came running to me
He who bought me and redeemed me broke my chains and set me free (2)

How could I forget your kindness through the years?
Your right hand always reaching out to me. (2)

In my joys and in my sorrows, in all of life's storms
You've become my friend and fortress, You're the One to whom I call (2)

Help me Lord I want to lose myself in You;
All my pride has blinded me from seeing You. (2)

So I'll keep watching and praying, setting my eyes on You 
Trusting in your sure promise, that You'll be back for me soon (2)

The Monday Theotokia

You call to me, I silence You
From all my sin Your path for me
For my eyes is hard to see

You come to me, I run from you, 
Oh Lord the fire of Your love
Inside of me has been quenched

You call to me, I silence You
From all my sin Your path for me
For my eyes is hard to see

You come to me, I run from you, 
Oh Lord the fire of Your love
Inside of me has been quenched

Tend to me, O Lord
Lay Your hands on me
And open for me my eyes
Bring me back to You, back to You

(The day I left You my joy left me,
I was burdened from all my worry)x2
I rest in You alone, I rest in You

All of my habits and my lusts have multiplied
My many prayers and requests are no more

When I repent, my sins do not cease to return
Oh Lord correct me from my ways, please stay with me
(Give me Your hand, and I’ll hold Yours)x2

Tend to me, O Lord
Lay Your hands on me
And open for me my eyes
Bring me back to You, back to You

(The day I left You my joy left me,
I was burdened from all my worry)x2
I rest in You alone, I rest in You

You know my life from its beginning to the end
You see the troubles of my heart, and what I’ve hidden

I have revealed myself to You, O my healer
I am with you in times of fear, giving you comfort
(No one but You has known me)x2

Tend to me, O Lord
Lay Your hands on me
And open for me my eyes
Bring me back to You, back to You

(The day I left You my joy left me,
I was burdened from all my worry)x2
I rest in You alone, I rest in You

From the musical “Hair” that shaped an entire generation. This song was conceived during a time of monumental change, kinda similar to the one we’re all in right now. I hope it inspires anyone to speak up and be brave about what you believe in.❤️💚🤍🖤

Age of Aquarius - cover.m4a

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
