Hieromartyr Mina Abood Divine Liturgy - amazing

(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

Lyrics from "At Your Cross" by Tervina Hebaysh

At Your Cross

Psalm 50 (Create In Me)

Refrain:
I have need of You 
O Lord of powers
You stretch out Your right hand
And perform wonders

Refrain

You know all my worries
Before I cry to You
No matter how dreadful
Nothings too hard for You

Refrain

The lions are hungry
Send forth Your angel
The king in fear will know
You save the faithful 

Refrain

I go down in the furnace
The fire burns with rage
With Your gracious hand You
Pull me out unscathed 

Refrain

Physicians have no cure
They are confused
Your healing hand will show
There is no one like You

Refrain

The seas waves are fearful
I am in jeopardy
Your power and might will
Shortly rescue me

Refrain

You are the manna
In times of hunger
The water from the rock
Flows to cure all thirst

Thursday Psali & Theotokia

Your mercies O my God
Are plenteous
Your mercies O my God
Have no boundaries

The drops of rain
Are counted in Your hands 
Also, the sand of the sea 
Is present before Your eyes

How much more are my sins
My trespasses are before You
And all that I have done
Are present before You

The sins of my youth
Remember them not, O Lord 
Do not contemplate 
On my sins, O God

For You desire not 
The death of a sinner
But You are ever pleased
That he returns to You

The tax-collector was chosen
The adulteress You forgave
The thief You have remembered
Your mercy is boundless

I am a sinner too
O Lord, teach me
To offer repentance
Like the adulteress, accept me

Return us, O God, unto Your salvation
For You are good and gracious
Grant us Your salvation
For You are our Savior

If You judge us in Your uprightness
We shall have no excuse
We await Your compassion
And plead for Your mercies

Your mercies O my God
Are beyond all measure
Your mercies O my God
Are as the countless sand

Your mercies O my God
Are more than the stars in heaven
And the plants of the earth
The mountains and little hills

O King of peace
Grant us Your peace
Confirm Your peace upon us
And forgive us our sins

Disperse the enemies
Of Your Church
Fortify her stronghold
That she may never be shaken

Immanuel our God
Is now in our midst
With the glory of His Father
And the Holy Spirit

May He bless us all
And purify our hearts
And heal the sicknesses
Of our souls and bodies

We worship the Father and the Son
And the Holy Spirit
Both now and forever
And to the end of ages, Amen

Your Mercies O My God

Wednesday Theotokia

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
