Absolutely beautiful. This song touched my heart deeply ❤️ Thank you for sharing such amazing songs!

Lyrics:

Jesus is knocking on your heart every day
Hoping you’ll open for Him to come in and stay
Hurry up open the door without delay
Before your time runs out and He walks away
Right away, right away, open the door without delay
Make use of the precious time He's given you
Hurry up open for Jesus right away

Open your heart to the Lord who died for you
He promised rest to the weary and comfort too
If you’re lost He will guide you back to His way
If you’re weak He’ll give you strength to make it through
Right away, right away, open the door without delay
Make use of the precious time He's given you
Hurry up open for Jesus right away

We’ll live in heaven with him forevermore
Over there where hurt and pain will be no more
Hurry up fill up your lamp and wait for Him
Hurry up before you miss the open door
Right away, right away, open the door without delay
Make use of the precious time He's given you
Hurry up open for Jesus right away

Jesus Is Knocking - ها يسوع الباب دوماً يقرع - Translation

Refrain:
(I’ll cast all my cares on you,
and on your word I’ll cast my net
all my life is in your hands
who's hands but yours give me blessing)x2 

(I surrender all my life
and trust in your will for me
even with my sinful heart
I know you won’t let me down)x2

(Im assured that you’re with me
certain in your plans for me
in weakness you are my shield
lifting me through the valley)x2

To always dwell within me
If I betrayed you before
Still bless all my years to come)x2

Original Arabic words by Fr. Makary Younan
*Related saying by St. Macarius the Egyptian below lyrics!

(Chorus)
Hear my cry Lord, I pray to Thee, 
And to my voice incline Your ear, 
(Hold me and have mercy on me,) x2
(For You O Lord I am in great need.) x2

(Verse 1)
My soul is troubled in the deep, 
And my eyes are full of tears, 
(Now I remembered You indeed,) x2
(For Your salvation is so near.) x2

(Verse 2)
All of the waves came upon me, 
And I was drowned in the deep sea, 
(I asked for help, where could it be) x2 
(But in the hands of my Lord dear.) x2

(Chorus)
So hear my cry Lord, I pray to Thee, 
And to my voice incline Your ear, 
(Hold me and have mercy on me,) x2 
(For You O Lord I am in great need.) x2

(Verse 3)
My heart is trembling in great fear,
And my head is wrapped in weeds, 
(Out of the depths I cried to Thee,) x2
(Save my soul and set me free.) x2

(Verse 4)
God ordered the whale in the sea, 
To safely drop Jonah down in peace, 
(In the whale's belly Jonah kneeled,) x2
(And thanked the Lord for His great deed.) x2

* "Suppose a man were in the middle of a river in full flood, and overwhelmed by the water lay lifeless, drowned, with dreadful monsters all round him. If another man, who is not used to swimming, should wish to save the one who fell in, he too is lost, and is drowned with him. Clearly there is need of a skilled swimmer, an expert, to go out into the depth of the water of the gulf, and dive, and bring up the drowned man there among the monsters...The soul, in the same way, has been plunged and drowned in the abyss of darkness and the deep of death, and is dead and parted from God among dreadful monsters; and who is able to go down into those secret chambers and the depths of hell and death, except that expert Workman who fashioned the body? In His own person He enters into two quarters, into the depth of hell, and into the deep gulf of the heart, where the soul with its thoughts is held fast by death, and brings up out of the darksome hole the Adam that lay dead." + Fifty Spiritual Homilies of St. Macarius the Egyptian (Homily 11.12)

Blessed Are You O Mary (Ft. Arsany Barsoum)

I walk to salvation in Jesus’ way 
Despite what the people will say
With Jesus I hold my head high 
My crown is sparkling in my eyes

**Come now in this hour to me
Distract me from all the pain I see 
If the world attacks me, this is true
Jesus is mine and I am his too

This vain world only saddens me
But my Lord Jesus gladdens me
And on the cross forgave me
My crown is shining eternally

**

This vain world only pains me
But my Lord Jesus comforts me
And on the clouds He meets me
My crown will shine ever brightly 

**

Besides Him to whom shall I go
This world is cruel, dark, and cold
Jesus is the warm light I see
My crown is shining eternally

**

Come now that would suffice for me
Spend the rest of days beside me
You are my hope and my helper
My crown is shining forever

Jesus' Way (Tareeq Yasou3)

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, the One I Love ft. Pierre Kostantine

Heaven for Me

To bear my exile now, within this world of tears,
That glance, surcharged with love, consoles me through the years;        
The holy tender glance of Christ, my Lord, I need.
His loveliness displays the   taste of heaven indeed.
On me my Jesus smiles, when toward Him I aspire — ,
That love-glance of my God, that smile of holy fire,
The trial of my faith then weighs no more on me.
all these things together, is heaven for me

Tis heaven to have great grace from Christ to win
For every soul on earth that He may enter in,
For Holy Mother Church, for all my Sisters dear, 
Enflame our sinful hearts, and grant us joy and cheer.
All things my love can gain when, heart to heart, I pray,  
Beside His altar blest with Him I gladly stay, 
Alone with Jesus Christ in speechless ecstasy.
—all these things together, is heaven for me

My heaven in the Bread, safe hid and peaceful, lies,
From that great fount of love, doth endless life arise;
Where Jesus Christ abides, divinest, fairest Fair.
There day and night, my Lord doth hearken to my prayer.
When, in Thy perfect love (O moment blest and bright!)
That union of our hearts, that rapture of delight, —
Thou comest, Spouse most pure, me to transform in Thee,
all these things together, is heaven for me

My heaven is to feel in me some likeness blest
My heaven is always beneath His eye to rest.
To Him Who made me and my soul hath reconciled;
To call Him Father dear, and be His loving child.
Safe shielded in His arms, no storm my soul can fear;
To sleep upon His Heart, with His blest Face so near, — 
Complete abandonment my only law shall be.
all these things together, is heaven for me

Who dwells within my heart, the Prisoner of my love.
Thee will I love and serve until we meet above.
My heaven’s God alone, the Divine Trinity,
all these thing together, is heaven for me.
