Hymns

Return to Me
A song about the Prodigal Son

the son said, “father i must go,
i wish not to stay here you know,
the world has much I want to see,
I hope that you will not stop me.
I see riches, I see gold
I see goods that I uphold
though it hurts to see you cry
I must bid you this last goodbye”

the father looked down lovingly
saying, “if you walk away from me
i will miss you with all of my heart
but even if you do depart
i will be waiting for you here
no matter if it takes you years
you are my son until the end
and I pray i will see you again”

the son left from his father’s place
with a smile on his face
ready to be free and grow
oh but little did he know
the world of pleasures has a cost
beware your soul may be lost
if you consume these earthly things 
and forget the joy your father brings 

the father looked out lovingly				
saying, “though you walked away from me
i miss you with all of my heart
but even though you did depart
I am waiting for you here
no matter if it takes you years
you are my son until the end
And I pray I will see you again”

the son quickly consumed his wealth
lost his food and lost his health
all his friends had left his side
so now he had to decide
should he live in misery,
watching pigs roam happily,
or return to his father’s place
to serve him for the rest of his days

the father looked out lovingly,
saying “son you have returned to me,
I have waited all this time
praying for you to be mine
let us kill the fattened calf
So we can sing and dance and laugh
to celebrate my son who died
who now has been brought back to life”

Return to Me

(If My own mother forgets me,
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
If the mother forgets her baby,
My Lord will never forget me
(Treasured in His eyes is every tear,
Persistent is He to erase my fears) x2
To my soul, His love is always near
So how can He forget me?
Refrain
(Of the smallest bird, the Lord takes care
For the Lillies, clothing He prepares) x2
Precious in His eyes is every single hair
So how can He forget me?
Refrain
(For me the thorns you accepted
Not a single pain, have you rejected) x2
Beloved Jesus has never neglected
How then can He forget me?

You are Called (Midnight Praises) - Melismatic

Have You Seen Him

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 (2x)

*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) 2x
I rest in You alone, I rest in You

(All of my habits and my lusts have multiplied
My many prayers and requests are no more) 2x
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 ill hold Your's (2x)

(You know my life from its beginning to the end
You see the troubles of heart, and what I've hidden) 2x

No one but You has known me (2x)

*Refrain

You Call To Me ft. Coptic Oud

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

The Grape Vine - Erika and Erin (كان فى عنقود عنب)

Forgive Me My Redeemer

He Paid All My Debts

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

It Comes From Him - Psalm 121 (Original Song)

Recorded and Mastered at The Premises London 

State Of Grace

You're my protector
From all that is evil
You hold me by the right hand
My heart with You rejoices 

(R) You're the true Shepherd 
You carry me on Your shoulders
You take me to green pastures
Your love is overwhelming

You're always with me
You will never leave me
Your voice is within me
"Do not fear, My Child"

You will elevate me
In the midst of my suffering
You strengthen my weakness
You are my true fortress 

You will support me
In times of tribulations
Your hand guides me
Doing good for me

You're The True Shepherd

Hold my hand, O Lord,
Like You held Peter's hand.
When he started to drown,
You gently held his hand.

[Lifted him over the waves
And made him feel safe.] (2)
[And me too, O Lord,
hold my hand.] (2)

The waves are strong for me;
Makes my heart tremble,
And the winds, O Lord, are strong.
I´m not able to stand.

[When the ship goes up and down,
And rocks are in the way,] (2)
[Tell the waves to be calm,
And hold me in you arms.] (2)

Enter my ship o lord 
And also in my life
Cast my fear away
And heal all my pain

[And dwell in my heart
And fill it with your peace] (2)
[Never leave me alone
To walk in my path] (2)

My faith o lord is weak
Strengthen my faith 
And If I ever doubt you
Or get lost in the way

[Bring me back to live
With you all my life] (2)
[You are my father lord
Your heart is full of love] (2)

Hold My Hand, O Lord

His Sweet Voice

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

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
