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

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

Verse 1:
Your peace passes all understanding 
It's within us and never ending
And despite what the enemy’s saying 
You fill our hearts with peace 

Chorus:
(Your peace your peace is
for God's people in every place) x2

Verse 2:
Even if we may go the wrong way 
His spirit is in us, it's never astray 
He answers and calms all the waves 
And fills our heart with peace 

Chorus:
(Your peace your peace is
for God's people in every place) x2

Verse 3:
The peace of God you left for us
Not like what the world would ever give us
And since your spirit abides in us
Your people live in peace 

Chorus:
(Your peace your peace is
for God's people in every place) x2

(Chorus)
The story of the greatest love
I have seen in Golgotha
My beloved Jesus on the cross 
Suffering to save us all
His loving heart beating in pain
His body wounded and slain
In His eyes I read the story 
The story of the greatest love

(Verse 1)
Yesterday He walked among us
Lovingly spreading His grace
Healing our souls and bodies 
Promising eternal life
His love was unprecedented
As He loved all the sinners
That is because He is Jesus
Who loves without condition

(Verse 2)
While His love was invading the world 
Devilish people kept thinking
How to get rid of Lord Jesus
Whose love endangered their powers
So to terminate the story 
The story of precious love
So to write the last chapter 
They killed Him, the source of love

(Verse 3)
How great is the love of Jesus
How precious and wonderful
He gave us life everlasting
He forgave all our sins
Every bit of love we share
is coming from Jesus' love
All of the love in this world
Cannot equal Jesus' Love

The Story of the Greatest Love (قصة الحب العجيب)

Lyrics:

On a chilly morning one day
In the desert far away
One monk went to the garden
As usual to pray

He saw a strange glow
A grape vine hanging low
But this was not the season
For any grapes to grow

(The monk didn’t wait
Rushed to the monastery’s gate) x2
(And gave it to the Abbott
St Macarious the Great) x2

St. Macarious said who
Should I give this vine to?
Finally he walked to the cell  
Of the eldest monk he knew

He said take this my dear
You are the eldest here
And when you get the blessing
We’ll all be of good cheer

(The monk reluctantly
Took it but so quickly) x2
(Thought how can I enjoy it
When my brothers sleep hungry) x2

He gave it to the monk next door
And it went from door to door
It came back to the abbot
At the end of its tour

St Macaious the Great 
He rose up right away
Asking all the monks to gather 
And hear what he had to say

(He said I clearly see
Seeds of love growing here) x2
(And this grape vine 
Is my sure sign) x2

(Our Lord made us aware
We are light of the world) x2
(And when it’s shining bright
It can never ever hide) x2

(Chorus)
In the shade of your protection
We take refuge O Mary
Don’t turn our prayer away
Whenever we call you

(Verse 1)
O the pride of the human race
The best of people are you
O you river of gifts
That flows into the world

(Verse 2)
O you gate of heaven 
Mother of our Redeemer
O you are our hope
And the sweetest name we call

(Verse 3)
Intercede for your people
Pray at all times
We are asking your Son
Pleading as children*

(Verse 4) – (*Personal addition from the 11th part of the Sunday Theotokia's ☺️)
You are brighter than the sun
And more sparkling
Than the cherubim
And the seraphim

In the Shade of your Protection (فى ظل حمايتك) - ft. André Ghobrial on Oud

Heb. 12:13, 2 Sam 13:4
Oh why am I parylized?
Daughter of a king but every day where is my strength?
Oh You wake me up with a goal to glorify You to serve Your name but I give nothing
But today, O Lord, I want to change. 
But today, let me be who You see in me.

Malachi 1:8, Heb. 13:15, Ps. 73:26
Lord I’m done with lame and blind 
I want to offer You a pure sacrifice, a true offering of praise
Lord today, give me a heart of strength 
to trample the enemy
Lord could this be me?

Matt. 12:11, Heb. 12:6
Today, I feel myself going astray
But Lord pick me up and place me in Your loving embrace
Today, teach me, even chasten me 
Lord anything, just let me hear what You have to say

1 Cor. 15:57, 2 Cor 6:2, Eph. 1:18
Cause today is the day of victory
Lord today and always You are mighty!
O Lord, show me the hope of Your call
Please Open the eyes of my heart
To see Your richness

Lord I want to be,
Lord, make me want to be
Everything You see in me
I want to be
Lord, I want to see
All the glory You want me to see
All the miracles, blessings for me, I want to see
Oh, and I want to believe in Your heavenly promise for me, 
In Your life giving mysteries, I want to receive
Lord, I want to be.

Haggai 1:14, Matt. 5:13-14, 2 Cor. 2:15
Dare I say, make me a giant, Lord make me a saint
Lord please bear with me and stir me to change
So I can glorify Your name
Lord make me a light, Oh make me salt
I want to be spreading Your beautiful aroma
For the world to see
For the world to know
The mighty God, who loves them and me
Lord, I wanna be

Today

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)

Jonah's Prayer/Hear my Cry (اسمع صراخي يا سيدي) - with Carol Eskandar on Violin

Verse 1:
(You call to me I silence You
From all my sin Your path for me
for my eyes is hard to see 

You come to me I run from from You
Oh Lord the fire of Your Love
inside of me has been quenched) x2

Refrain:
Tend to me Oh Lord, Lay Your hands on me
And open for me my eyes
Bring me back to You, back to You

(The day I left You, my joy left me
I was burdened from all my worry) x2
I rest in You alone, I rest in You

Verse 2:
All of my habits and my lusts have multiplied
My many prayers and requests are no more

When I repent my sins do not cease to return
Oh Lord correct me from my ways, please stay with me
(Give me Your hand, and I’ll hold Yours) x2

Refrain

Verse 3:
You know my life from its beginning to the end
You see the troubles of heart, and what I've hidden

I have revealed myself to You, oh my Healer
I am with you in times of fear, giving you comfort
(No one but You has known me) x2

Lyrics:

One day You passed by me
You saw chains on my hands
I saw with my own eyes
Tears for me in Your eyes

One day I passed by You
I saw my chains on Your hands
I’m free because of You
Then tears filled my eyes

(“How much, Lord, did You pay
To set me free?” I asked
“My son, it is a lot,
But not too much for you.”) x2

One day by me You’ll pass
About my freedom You’ll ask
Feeling my slavery
Although in You I’m free

My sins have bounded me
Loving the world around me
I seek my place in it
That I am Yours I forget

(Free yet I am Your slave
Yours for all of my days
Your slave and free I’ll live
To You myself I give.) x2

One Day You Passed By Me

Lord at Rest - Peter Sedrak (Apocalypse Saturday)

Lyrics: 
When I'm filled with sorrow and weakness
No hope and all alone 
In your eyes you see me  
Your child, called to your throne

As you opened up your arms
And looked to me with love 
I remember your promise 
To help me lest I fall

Chorus:
In my times of despair 
I kneel to you in prayer
My Lord Redeemer
I plead please heal me the sinner

At times I feel miles apart
But you call me when I am astray
You created within me Paul 
Taking the Saul away

I am like the samaritan
Weakness overcomes me 
Thirsty longing to be filled
There’s only you to guide me

Chorus

No matter the sin I may commit 
My tears lead me to you 
waiting at your feet as you say 
your sins I paid for you 

I am fearfully made
Ur words I will obey 
My eyes look up to you lord
yearning to see your way 

Chorus

In my times of despair - اسندني في ضعفي - Translation

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

In One of My Dreams (ft. Erin Melek)

"Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You." Psalm 63:3

In One of My Dreams (ft. Erin Melek)
