Theotokia Medley

“Come, see a Man who told me all things I’ve ever done. Could this be the Christ?”
John 4:29

Mid day I walked in the scorching sun
To avoid the judging gaze of everyone
Hopeless and void of love and belonging 
I came face to face with the King of Kings 

Come, see a Man who told me all things that I’ve ever done. Could this be the Christ?
Come see the one who offers living water and everlasting life
He wishes to unite 

Went to the well fleeing from my sin
But he saw the shame and pain that I was in 
My humiliated heart longed for His grace
He pulled me from my death into His warm embrace

Come, see a Man who told me all things that I’ve ever done. Could this be the Christ?
Come see the one who knows my darkest secrets, the evils in my heart 
And yet offers me life

He said Worship in spirit is the way
The Father only wishes for His child to stay
His words like gold I’m not worthy to receive
But He sought this rejected woman that she might believe 

Come, see a Man who told me all things that I’ve ever done. Could this be the Christ? Come see the one who knows my sin before me 
For which I must atone
Yet casts not the first stone

The living water is from His grace
My saviour conquered the grave
Christ the King came down to save 
Everlasting life is for the human race 

Come, see a Man who told me all things that I’ve ever done. Could this be the Christ? Come see the Man who told me all things that I’ve ever done. Could this be the One?

Come See (Original Song)

(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

Refrain:
Watching us, hearing us, loving us
She could never possibly forget us
She´s St Mary mother of Jesus who saved us
We´re her children, and she´s always guiding us.

Verse 1:
She’s in heaven in her glory
The pride of all our saints (2)
Constantly, she’s interceding
With the saints on our behalf.

Verse 2:
She’s in heaven but she appears
To her children everywhere (2)
Spreading on earth love and peace
And preserving faith for all.

Verse 3:
She’s in heaven but she sees
When her children are in tears (2)
Mettias was handcuffed in jail
But she came and broke the chains.

Verse 4:
She’s in heaven but she hears
The pleading of a great Pope (2)
Anba Abraam come out and meet
The faith that moved the mountain.

Verse 5:
She’s in heaven but she leaves
Many miracles where she appears (2)
In the church she comes and shares
With faith we witness her care

Watching Us (Coptic Song for St Mary)

Lord, Let Me Lyrics 

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 
Let my heart be filled with all 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
Let me find You every single day

Lord, Let Me - Prayer of St. Gregory of Nazianzus

Chanted by youth from the church of the Virgin Mary and St. Athanasius in Mississauga, Canada. May the blessings of the month of Kiahk be with us.

Kiahk Midnight Praise - Fourth Hoos and Psalm 150

Artist: Veronica Shalaby
Icon: Marina Agib (Instagram: artbymarinam)

R: Before your Icon, I lit a candle 
I put it out with my tears 
I share with you, and you listen 
With your hands you wipe my tears

My Mother take me into your arms 
Fill me again with your compassion 
Within your arms, a shield that protects me 
Your intercessions, a  fortress that saves me 
And I came
Came 
Oh My Mother, I came


Your icon became stained glass 
Or a picture within a frame
Forgive me if I forgot
And lost my feelings towards you
And I came
Came 
Oh My Mother, I came

How can I forget your favors My Mother
Standing by me in your majesty 
I’m indebted to your love and care 
You carried my burdens with your compassion
And I came
Came 
Oh My Mother, I came

Shepherd of My Soul (Lyrics and Chords)

G D Em C
O Thou whose presence delighteth my soul
G Em D
And whom in my distress I call
G D Em C
My comfort by day and my refuge by night
G Em D G
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 now 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
He calleth me sister and bride
O how do I long for the day we shall wed
In heaven in His Father's house.

Shepherd of My Soul - Feat. Fr. Nathanael Guirguis
