Chorus:
The Lord is near to those who call on Him
He is not far as we have made Him 		
He’s not a stranger to all our sufferings
He said “come now hurry all you weary”
To give them rest from burdens too heavy  
To wipe a tear from all hearts in misery

V1:
Sojourner and no place to stay
Abandoned, doubted and friends betrayed 	
Yet He arose to grant the way 
to eternity
A friend to the tax collectors, 
A comfort for the adulterers,
An advocate for the sinners 
Of whom I am chief

V2:
He guided all those questioning, 
goodness on earth He was spreading, 	
He tasted death while bearing 
The shame of sinners 
His night of death, prayed earnestly
Father willing, take this from Me
Sweat drops of blood from agony
All for my sake

V3: 
When I was thirsty He quenched me 
When I was naked He clothed me
When abandoned He sheltered me 
From all my fears 				
So how can I not be trusting
His love I'll never be doubting 
A Father who is so loving 
Even to death

The Lord is Near - الرب قريب - Translation

My Lord's embrace is enough for me) x2
Precious in His eyes is the smallest baby
So how can He forget me?
Refrain:
(So how can He forget me?) x2

My Lord will never forget me

Persistent is He to erase my fears) x2

So how can He forget me?

For the Lillies, clothing He prepares) x2

Not a single pain, have you rejected) x2

How then can He forget me?

You’re the True Shepherd -- St. Mark DC Youth Live

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

His Sweet Voice - College Ministry at St. Mark DC (Live)

REFRAIN:

O MY MASTER HOW CRUEL WAS THE SHAMEFUL DEATH OF THE CROSS
BEFORE IT CARRIED YOU, YOU CARRIED IT
O RIGHTEOUS ONE

1)YOU ASKED FOR WATER, YOU TASTED VINEGAR
AND ALL BITTERNESS,
YOUR BLOOD FLOWED FROM YOUR BODY,
TO SAVE ALL SINNERS

2) UPON THE CROSS, O MY BELOVED
YOU SUFFERED MUCH PAIN
BY THOSE WHO CAUSED YOUR SUFFERING 
YET YOU FORGAVE THEIR SINS

3)ALL THIS MY LORD, 
TO BRING ME BACK
IN YOUR PROTECTION, I’LL LIVE WITH YOU
AND YOU WILL COMFORT ME

4) OH THAT MY HEART, MAY TREASURE YOU
SO THAT I MAY ATTAIN YOU
AND LIVE SINCERELY 
IN SUBMISSION TO YOU

O My Master

Original Song based on Psalm 121.

Lyrics:

Chorus:
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from? It comes from Him
He made the heaven, earth and what’s within
God guards my going out and coming in
 
Verse 1:
He watched over Israel and He will watch over me
My God will not slumber, indeed, He doesn’t sleep
He’s the shade at my right hand, the sun can’t hurt by day
and the moon at night, can’t harm me in any way

Chorus:
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from? It comes from Him
He made the heaven, earth and what’s within
God guards my going out and coming in

Verse 2:
I have heard Your promises and believe they’re set in stone
but I forget I’m your daughter and You’re King on the throne
Sing my soul to the Lord of Hosts, Trust in the Most High
Through the hills and the valleys, in Him my hope lies

Chorus:
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from? It comes from Him
He made the heaven, earth and what’s within
God guards my going out and coming in

O Beloved (Feat: Christina Maurice, Mark Botros)

O Seeker to Meet Jesus

His Sweet Voice

Lyrics:

Everyday kneeling at Your cross
I come to You oh lord and reveal my thoughts
without fear
Like my Father
My secrets and stories, with You, I share my heart

My God, I am always thinking, from now and as I’m growing
That I would never be changing, forget Your cross
I would always in my heart pray, that Your love within me remain
And nothing would prevent me from
Seeking Your cross and sharing my heart 

When I grew up, again I called out
But I kept stumbling and, my Lord, I struggled throughout
Sorrow and fear, overwhelmed me
Enslaved to sin and in my desires, oh, I drowned

My God, again I’m thinking, when will I return, I’m sinking
To be a child again, I’m wishing, beneath Your cross
I would always in my heart pray, that You’d forgive me and remain
The desire of my heart be, 
seeking Your cross and sharing my heart

And when I repent, I find mercy
And joy in my Father’s arms, reassuring me
You wiped my tears, renewed my spirit
As I searched my bounded heart, You set me free

My God, how are You still willing, to give me without limiting 
Your forgiveness and protection they always guide me   
I will follow You in your way, and my heart singing as I pray,
I praise Your precious holy name,
seeking Your cross and sharing my heart

Everyday Kneeling At Your Cross -كل يوم تحت صليبك - Translation

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
