Oh Creator of Love, Oh refuge of my soul
You are the guarantee in the midst of my journey 
I am in need of You
I am in need of You
I need from You a power to raise me
You, Oh Lord, alone
You, Oh Lord, alone
You aid me when I’m weak
And have mercy

Oh my master, I want to delve so deep in you
Revive me! Give life to me
I want to see the light of your love
Shining inside of me (2x)

Oh Creator of Love! 
Here I am to You, screaming!
I am returning to You. 
To You, I’m returning!

To Your embrace, I’m returning!
To Your path, I’m returning!
To Your love, I’m returning!
Oh Creator of Love (2x)

Oh Creator of Love, Oh source of my power
While in the midst of my sorrows, You are my comforter
I am longing for You
I am longing for You 
I long for You to live in me, oh my King
You, by Your spirit
You, by Your spirit
Throughout my life and journey, You are leading

Oh my Master, come change my life by Your spirit
And reign over my will 
Touch my heart, my senses and the world wherein I dwell (2x)

Oh Creator of Love! 
Here I am to You, screaming!
I am returning to You. 
To You, I’m returning!

To Your embrace, I’m returning!
To Your path, I’m returning!
To Your love, I’m returning!
Oh Creator of Love (2x)

Spiritual Songs

Oh Creator of Love

I place my soul into your hands
My Lord Jesus Christ
Lead me because I depend on you
Lead me and I´ll serve you
Please be my guide in everyway
Be my guard I won´t go astray
Sanctify my heart and my needs
Until I see you Lord

As you have always said
All sorts of all goodness
"Come unto me all you weary
Come unto me and you will find rest
Come unto me I am the way
I am the truth and life"

When my life gets filled with worries
And darkness overwhelms
The clouds will be dispersed away
By you, O prince of peace
You are my shield you are my hope
You are my strengths you are my go
You are the perfect love, O Lord
Of whom then shall I fear!

You are my shepherd I will not want
Lead me to still waters
Restore my soul I am calling you
Lead me to righteousness
Though I walk through the Death Valley
With you, I will fear no evil
You are my comfort staff and rod
All the days of my life

Come Take your cross and follow me
Fear not I am with thee
Cheer up I´ve overcome the world
Your tears I´ll wipe away
I showed you my love on the cross
And if you´re faithful unto death
I will give you eternal life
Come now and follow me

I place my soul into your hands

In my Throbbing Heart

In my throbbing heart I have hid Your place,
Deep in my bosom is Your dwelling place.

I have forsaken the world and its pleasures,
And abandoned all so I may live with You.

I have no desire, nor passion, nor
Have I a thought but to follow You.

And my father Jacob I know his secret,
Now I know how he wrestled you.

O kind-heart O how sweet are You!
Mighty and exalted glorious above all

O mighty one with a whip in Your palm,
as Your heart overflows with love for all mankind.

The world is not enough to contain all of You,
How then could my heart compose all of You.

I have left the world and all its pleasures,
And abandoned all so I may live with You.

Lord, I have deserted all but not You,
In the sojourn of life I have none but You.

And my thoughts I prevented from wandering
So where ever You are there my thoughts also

I have forgotten family and friends,
And even forgot myself for Your love.

I forgot them all in love of You.
O joy of my heart, so don't forsake Your child.

You are not far from my soul that awaits
Your visiting call in the calm silence.

Truly You're in heaven, however every
Heart that lived in Your love is also Your heaven.

Here are my eyes and I have closed them
From seeing the world so that I could see You,

And likewise my ears, I have cleared them
From all idle talk, so I could hear Your voice.

In my throbbing heart I have hid Your place,
Deep in my bosom is Your dwelling place (2)

Coptic Songs

In my throbbing heart

+ Refrain: One eve, my Lord's voice : came knocking at my gate,
Saying, "Open up quickly : let's share a meal, don't wait." +

But sleep had embraced me : and I chose to delay,
Regret filled my heart : as His voice faded away.

How could I turn away : when He called my name?
Why did I let distraction : put His love to shame?

I wept through the night : seeking forgiveness and grace,
Yearning for a change : a new path to embrace.

With tears as my guide :  I cleansed my heart's core
Seeking His light, His presence :  to be restored.

I opened the door : ready to welcome His might,
Knowing He'll never forsake : in His love I find delight.

+ With permission from original composure by Saad Metri and Family +

but with the thief I will confess You: 
Remember me O Lord in Your Kingdom.

Teach me, to wait on You O Lord…To wait on You O Lord

Teach me to wait on You O Lord

Once I wandered so far away
from my Good Savior Jesus.
He came to me, He who saved me,
and called for me to return.

Refrain:
His sweet voice did call me, call me:
“Prolong not thy straying away.
O dear child, return quickly,
and come to Me, come to Me!”

Cruel thorns left my feet to bleed out,
wounds and agony unparalleled.
I heard the Voice call out to me,
“Thou art in error, return.”

Refrain

Never did I ever care to
heed to Him, nor to His words.
Therefore I walked away with His
warnings of pain in contempt.

Refrain

My path grew ever more treacherous,
menacing darkness has prevailed.
I cried in my profound anguish:
“Where is Thy delightful Face?”

Refrain

My grief has exceeded limits
due to my straying away.
Desolated, I requested:
“O my Savior! Come to me!”

Refrain

Straightaway, a light shone brightly,
O how radiant it was!
My tender Redeemer with a
smile appeared to my aid.

Refrain

Once I wandered

Many years have passed by
And the Lord cared for me
Carried me everyday 
On His eternal shoulders
(And with His hands He holds me
Through the path of love He leads me) x2

Jesus the King of kings
And the Lord of Lords
Our souls are longing
To see Your majesty

And my heart rejoiced
To glory He took me
To end all my mourning

As long as You are in my boat (x2)
Oh Lord I am at peace 
You know that the waves are strong
But you calm the seas 

If the storms and the waves arise (x2)
And strike a fierce attack
Since Jesus holds the helm so tight
We’ll make it safely back 

Though I may face pains and troubles(x2)
Here in my sojourn land
Soon my Lord Jesus will return
And dry tears with His Hand 

Though I walk through the Death Valley (x2)
Where sorrow streams run deep
Soon my Lord Jesus will return
And wipe away my tears 

So I do live in Thankfulness (x2)
Always through all my strife 
No matter how the waves may crash
My Lord will ease my path

As long as You are in my boat (x2)
Oh Lord I am at peace 
You know that the waves are strong
But You calm the seas

Trample O my soul
Always on the enemy
I will not ever fall
For Christ has given me strength.

Refrain:
And if the world falls apart around me,
Satan will never defeat me.
As long as Christ is holding me
I believe that His hand is mighty. (2)

With Christ I fear not war
I walk among the flames
My faith brings down walls
And even mountains shake. 

Refrain

I will never bow
God´s promises lift me up
Christ is my one safeguard
His power is enough.

Have You Seen the One I Love

Have you seen Him?
The one I love
Have you seen Him
The Holy One
Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice 
Have you heard Him?
The great I am

I am dark but 
I am lovely 
Among the thorns I am 
His rose and lily
His banner over me 
Is love and grace
And nothing gives me joy
Like His tender face 

Have you seen Him?
The one I love
Have you seen Him
The Holy One
Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice 
Have you heard Him?
The great I am

I was wounded 
Broken and empty
But His spirit 
Rushed in and filled me 
I was waiting 
For life and healing 
But His sweet eyes alone
Restored my feeling 
	
Have you seen Him?
The one I love
Have you seen Him
The Holy One
Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice 
Have you heard Him?
The great I am
		
The oil I poured on Him
Could not consume
His sweet aroma
It filled the room
Come and meet Him	
Sit at His feet
Drink in His beauty 
It set me free 
	
Have you seen Him?
The one I love
Have you seen Him
The Holy One
Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice 
Have you heard Him?
The great I am

Rashi Ne - Rejoice O Theotokos

My Lord Precious Jesus

Our Father Who Art in Heaven

I Open My Mouth With Praise

O Thou in whose presence delighteth my soul
And whom in my distress I call
My comfort by day and my refuge by night
My stronghold whenever I fall.

Shepherd of my soul I beg Thee to tell
Where thou keepest thy sheep to rest
For why should I roam in the valley of tears
And wander as one who is lost.

I ask thee to tell me daughters of Zion
Have ye seen the One I adore
I seek him in vain in the night of my soul
But lo! I can find Him no more.

Shepherd of my soul I shall follow Thee
O how sweet Thy voice is to me
So guide me and lead me and show me the way
My only desire is Thee.

I am my beloved’s and He is mine too
He calleth me sister and spouse
O how do I long for the day we shall wed
In heaven in His Father’s house.

O Thou In Whose Presence

Refrain:
Blessed are those who have mercy,
Who give to the poor and fast and pray,
The Holy Spirit will fill their hearts,
The Son will show them mercy on Judgment Day.

1. Fasting is steadfastness to the soul,
He who fasts shall not fall,
He will be saved from all attacks,
The heavenly kingdom, he will not lack.

2. Seek the kingdom with righteousness,
Think not or your garments and fullness,
All these will be to you granted,
From God many gifts are handed.

3. Accord mercy unto all,
Do not expect an earthly reward,
It is said, "Do not worry about tomorrow,
Your gains are secure and shall grow."

Refrain:
Blessed are those who have mercy,
Who give to the poor and fast and pray,
The Holy Spirit will fill their hearts,
The Son will show them mercy on Judgment Day.

4. Meditate on the nursing ravens,
Creatures without power or opinions,
The Father cares for them, like all animals,
You exceed all creation, O prized humans.

5. Firmly stand in pleading,
For mercy, in simplicity, asking,
As one asking his neighbor in time of need,
To lend him three loaves indeed.

6. Love your enemies, with affection,
Care for those who cause you affliction,
Pray for those who abandon you,
Forgive your brother seven times his due.

Refrain:
Blessed are those who have mercy,
Who give to the poor and fast and pray,
The Holy Spirit will fill their hearts,
The Son will show them mercy on Judgment Day.

Where He Leads me

Kiahk Psaly for the Holy Trinity chanted before the Third Hoos

+Praise befits the Holy Trinity, The Father the Son and the Holy Spirit, We worship we praise and glorify,  For One God Creator of All Souls.

+To Him is due all Glory and Praise, Worthy of all honor and Heaven, Ancient Existent Before Ages, Eternal Omnipotent Without death.

+Holy God Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal without death, God of the Throne King of Glory, We teach we preach the Trinity.

+Blessed is God the Father the Pantocrator, Blessed is His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, Blessed be His Holy Spirit the Paraclete, To Him is due Worship and Praise.

+He has Great Power and Authority, Wise and Informed Good and Generous, One God in Three Hypostasis, Many Scholars Fail to Describe Him. 

+One Essence and One Nature, One Hypostasis in the Trinity Unique, Three in One in Essence, Without Singularity or Division. 

+One Essence in the Trinity, Without Singularity or Division, One in His Kingdom Existent, Filling Heaven and all Regions.

+A Mystery Exceeding Humanity, According to the Essence One God, But According to the Economy, All Three are One God.

+The Son Begotten Before all Ages, He was born of the Father, But His miraculous birth was natural, and the Holy Spirit Proceeding from the Father.

+Like the Birth of the Sun rays and its heat, and the Sphere sending both, This birth is natural, Without tearing or division. 

+All Three are equivalent, In Essence and in Divinity, In Existence before ages, In Eternal life to the end of Age.

+Daniel Saw in his vision a Throne, and seated upon it ancient of days, The son of man came to Him, and gave him Dignity and Authority.

+He saw the throne like Lightning, Who sat on it like Fire, The hair of His head white as snow, Carrying Him Four Creatures of Fire.

+He saw the four without body, One looked like man one looked like a bull, And the third creature like a lion, and the fourth creature like an eagle.

+Four faces for each of them, and six wings they were full of eyes, with two they covered their legs, and they cover their faces with two and fly with two. 

+Twenty four priests with their Thrones, With golden crowns lit as fire, and golden censors in their hands, with incense raising night and day.

+Around the Throne Thousands and Thousands, and Archangels Myriads of Myriads, Thrones Dominions rows by rows, Praising Him with loudest of voices.

+And at the Chant of the Creatures and Priests, They all Chant with loudest of voices, Proclaiming and Saying Holy Holy, Holy The Living Lord of Hosts.

+Heaven and Earth are Full, of Your Holy Glory and Your Praise, Thine is the Power and the Glory, And all creation shall praise You.

+Alleluia Alleluia, To you belongs greatness and Power, To You belongs Glory and Strength,  To You belongs Authority and Kingdoms.

Morning Prayer Introduction

Introduction To The Agpeya

A stranger I lived in the world
A foreigner like my forefathers
A pilgrim in my attitude
In my thoughts and my desires
A Stranger, I have no one to
Unload on him, my thoughts so true

The people do not like my roots
Nor do they understand my end
In craze arise the multitude
In maddening noise without an end
And I remain in solitude
Serenity in my heart felt
A stranger, I can find no home
Nor a corner to rest alone

I cast away the world's pleasures
Ignoring her callings to me
I went, I dragged away my things
Away from their merry-makings
My heart silent, indifferent
To all they think is important
My listening will never yield
To loud and worldly conversing

I wander off all on my own
So happy to be in the vast
With my timbrel and my cymbal
And melodies of praise I sing
And now comes the holy moment
In which I Retreat with my King
I roam about as a spirit
Invisible to on-lookers
The world alien I am to it
A foreigner like my forefathers

My existence is a triumph
No wealth, power to disturb me
No house is here to delay me
Nor any friend or family
And with me are the sweet verses
And great proverbs to console me
The Bible here my only lamp
And nothing else to concern me

I do not know of any fear
Nor any bonds that hinder me
No longer does the world rule me
Against me and at times for me
No longer does the world rule me
Against me and at times for me
I say to every enemy
Who only wants to seduce me
Beware that now I am alive
A stranger as were my fathers.

A stranger I lived in the world

Melody for the Paramoun of the Nativity chanted during communion following the text of Coptic Reader

Nativity Paramoun

Melody for the Paramoun of the Nativity (Tune of Istermagi)

The Lord is my shepherd
So I need nothing else
even if I walk in the valley
or in the shadows of death

I will never fear anything
with a shepherd next to me
I will never fear anything
with Jesus leading me

From your spirit fill me with joy
Help me walk with you O my Lord
Protect me from any evil thought
Heal my soul O my dear Lord!

I have confidence in Jesus
in bad times He comes to save me
and if someday my soul weakens
He's always there to protect me!

The Lord is my shepherd
So I need nothing else
even if I walk in the valley
or in the shadows of death

The Lord is my Shepherd

“Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. “ Psalm 73:25
