￼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

I can hear my Savior calling,
I can hear my Savior calling,
I can hear my Savior calling,
"Take the cross and follow, follow Me."

Where He leads me I will follow,
Where He leads me I will follow,
Where He leads me I will follow,
I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.

If He leads me to the judgement, 
If He leads me to the judgement, 
If He leads me to the judgement, 
I will go with Him, with Him all the way

If in jail or in chains,
If in jail or in chains,
If in jail or in chains,
I will go with Him, with Him all the way

If He leads me to crucifixion,
If He leads me to crucifixion,
If He leads me to crucifixion,
I will go with Him, with Him all the way

If in health or in sickness,
If in health or in sickness,
If in health or in sickness,
I will go with Him, with Him all the way

If I’m beaten or afflicted,
If I’m beaten or afflicted,
If I’m beaten or afflicted,
I will go with Him, with Him all the way

He will lead me to grace and glory,
He will lead me to grace and glory,
He will lead me to grace and glory,
And will go with me, with me all the way

Where He Leads Me

I Place My Soul (Jam Session)

(Every day at your cross
I used to come and talk with You
My Lord and God 
To You My Father, I reveal
All my secrets and stories
With no fear)x2

I used to think that I will never
From now on and till forever
Will not change and leave my place
Under Your cross
In my heart I always prayed
Your love remains in me and stays
Nothing will take me away
I’ll remain and pray 
Remain and pray 

When I grew with chains anew
I tried to call you
I tried and failed
Sadness and tears
Growing so near
With sin and lust and pride
In a world of vain & fear

And I wondered when I can
Return to You 
And how I will
Stay again under your cross
As a child

In my heart I always prayed
You’ll forgive me
And fulfill
My hearts desires that I stay at Your cross
And pray again

St Mary Medley (Ft. Erin Melek & Coptic MG)

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

Refrain
In one of my dreams
While sleeping in peace, I saw pure mothers And our Holy, precious Queen 
In one of my dreams
A great and beautiful scene
I saw pure mothers
And our Holy, precious Queen
Verse 1
One was a young martyr
Strong in faith and persevered
She lived with forty friends
The king's threats they never feared
Her father lost his way
But her faith led him to stay
My beloved St Demiana, the Princess of the heavenly (*2)
Quickly I ran to her
Her gaze was sharp and wise 
She urged me to remember To seek the heavenly prize
Verse 2
The next ones share a name
Though their paths were not the same
One left the world in place raised a child in her embrace
The other faced the enemy And triumphed in her bravery
My beloved St Marinas, the vessels of humility (*2)
Quickly I ran to them,
Their eyes were clear and bright
They urged me to remember 
To seek the path of Light
Verse 3
The fourth one loved to pray
Evil could not find its way
The mention of her name
Made Satan burst in flame.
Cyprian's magic failed
And in time his faith prevailed
My beloved St Justina, She fought in Christ's arena (*2)
Quickly I ran to her
Her prayer was deep and true
She urged me to remember 
To pray in all we do
Verse 4 
This mother lived in sin
And strayed from Christ within 
The world would always tempt her
The church she could not enter
To the desert she fled
And lived for Christ instead
My beloved Egyptian Mary, her passions she did bury (*2)
Quickly I ran to her,
Her spirit was filled with glee, 
She urged me to remember, 
Repentance sets us free.
Verse 5
In the temple she grew 
In obedience and virtue
She bore the Son of Man 
To fulfill God's Holy Plan 
For us she intercedes
For all her children's needs.
My beloved St Mary, the Saviour she did carry (*2)
Quickly I ran to her
Her arms were open wide
She urged me to remember 
In Christ we must abide
