Kiahk Psalm 150 Alleluia-Arsani Sidarous

Happy Feast! 

She came with the spices
To thy tomb O Lord,
Knowing not that Thou
Above the earth had soared.
She came void of all hope;
She came expecting death;
Forgetting the Life-Giver
Who is the living breath.

In trials and tribulations,
Do we not do the same:
Looking at our errors,
Despairing in our blame?
How often do we wallow,
Abandoning all hope –
As though on our own –
With burden we could cope.

If Peter lost all hope when
Our Lord exposed his sin,
Luke would not record
The three thousand he would win.
If Paul considered nothing
But his murderous past,
Would his inspired letters
To this generation last?

Moses’ life was evil,
Every sin he did commit,
But from this desert bandit,
A shining lamp was lit.
If Mary, Egypt’s harlot,
Had not tried to win his grace,
Would she now be in heaven –
Would she have won the race?

Our Lord set an example,
Compelled, we do the same:
Fight, strive, persevere and
On us will be no blame.
If our loving Saviour
Had not endured all pain,
Would Redemption and Salvation
Ever be our gain?

I come now with hope
To Thy Tomb O Lord,
Knowing that in Truth,
Above the earth Thou soared,
I come now with joy,
I come expecting life;
Knowing that through Thee
I can endure all strife.

She Came With The Spices!

English translation of Qalby El Khafaq...shout out to @paula-sameh-samaan for his amazing oud playing

My Throbbing Heart

My throbbing heart has become Your bed, 
In the curves of my chest, I have hid Your dwelling,

I have left the universe, in its disorder
And abandoned everything, so I may live with You

I have no thought, nor opinion nor 
Any other desire, but to follow You

And my father Jacob, I know his secret; 
I know now how, he wrestled You

O you the kindest-hearted, how sweet are You, 
Exalted above all and feared, how glorious are you

O mighty One holding, a whip in your palm 
And your love for us yields tears for You

The universe cannot contain You, how small it is, 
How then can the heart be sufficient for You

I have left the universe, in its disorder
And abandoned everything, so I may live with You

I have left everything, my Lord except You, 
I have none but You in the sojourn of my life.

And I prevented my thoughts, from wandering, 
So wherever You are, there my thoughts will be

I have forgotten family and friends,
And also I have forgotten my soul in Your love

I have forgotten everything in Your love, 
O the joy of the heart, so don’t forget Your child

You are not far from my spirit which is
In the calmness of silence waiting for Your calling

You are truly in the Heavens
But every heart that lives in love is Your Heaven

This is my eye and I have closed it, 
From seeing everything so I could see You

And likewise my ear, I have covered it 
From hearing everyone so I could hear You.


Pope Shenouda's Poem "My Throbbing Heart"  قلبي الخفاق (Qalby El Khafaq in English) with Oud

Asomen (with Guitar) - Saint Mark DC’s College Youth

Have you seen Him?
The One I love
Have you seen Him
The Holy Man

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 Man

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 Man

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 Man

Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice
Have you heard Him?
The great I AM

Have You Seen Him - St Mark DC

Verse 1:
I was hungry, and you gave Me food
I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink
Lord when did we see You hungry and feed You?
Lord when did we see You thirsty and give You drink?

Inasmuch as you did to the least, you did it to Me

Verse 2:
I was a stranger, and you took Me in
I was naked, and you clothed Me
Lord when did we see You a stranger and take You in?
Lord when did we see You naked and clothe You?

Inasmuch as you did to the least, you did it to Me.

Verse 3:
I was sick, and you visited Me
I was in prison, and you came to Me
Lord when did we see You sick and visit You?
Lord when did we see You in prison and come to You?

Inasmuch as you did to the least, you did it to Me.
Inasmuch as you did to the least, you did it to Me.

Lord, When Did We See You? (Matthew 25:31-46)

Psalm 29
I will exalt You, O Lord for You lifted me out of the depths
And did not let my enemies gloat over me 
O my God I called to You for help and You healed me
You brought me up from the grave, You spared me from going to the pit

Chorus: 
Sing to the Lord You saints of His; praise His holy name
For His anger lasts a moment, but His favor a lifetime
Sing to the Lord You saints of His; praise His holy name
Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning

When I felt secure I said, "I will not be shaken"
O Lord, when You favored me You made my mountain stand firm
But when You hid Your face I was dismayed
To You, O Lord, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy

What gain is there in my destruction, in my going to the pit?
Will the dust praise You, will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me
O Lord my God be my help

You turned my wailing into dancing
You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy
That my heart may sing to You and not be silent
O Lord my God, I will give You thanks forever
Alleluia, alleluia 


Psalm 29
