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

Theotokia Medley

Lord Jesus, let me know myself and know You,
and desire nothing except You.

Let me hate myself and love You.
Let me do everything for the sake of You.
Let me humble myself and exalt You.
Let me think of nothing except You.
Let me die to myself and live in You.
Let me accept all that happens as from You.
Let me banish self and follow You, and ever desire to follow You.

Let me fly from myself and take refuge in You,
That I may always be defended by You.
Let me fear for myself.
Let me fear You, and let me be among those who are chosen by You.
Let me distrust myself and put my trust in You.
Let me be willing to obey for the sake of You.
Let me cling to nothing except You,
And let me be poor because of You.

Look upon me, that I may love You.
Call me that I may see You,
 and for ever enjoy You. Amen.

You - St. Augustine Prayer

Lyrics: 
Verse 1: 
In time of weakness, I see You heal me, from misery
And in my grievance, You are a friend to me, So comforting
And so I sing, my heart I bring, surrendering

Chorus: 
I do not live for me
Not my own luxury
My life always belongs to Thee
O Lord, I’m in need
Please, will to help me
Guide me and be my Remedy

Verse 2: 
Lord I’m returning, please wipe away my tears, and mourn with me 
For You I’m yearning, my Lord Jesus, please comfort me 
And so I sing, my heart I bring 
Surrendering 

Verse 3: 
My path is known to You, plans of prosperity and plans of hope 
So I lift my heart to You, accept me for I am Yours, O my Lord
And so I sing, my heart I bring, surrendering

(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: 
(Who do I have but You O Lord
I live for you alone, O my Lord)x2
You are my safety
in You I am free 

(I long for You, O my Lord 
You fill my life, O my Lord)x2
I will sing joyfully 
Enlighten my path for me 

(At Your embrace, O my Lord
I taste Your sweetness, O my Lord)x2
Cast off my worries
Calm my anxieties

(In the midst of thorns, O my Lord 
My eyes look to You, O my Lord)x2
Heal my injuries
Renew the joy in me

(You are my refuge, O my Lord 
My eyes turn to Heaven, O my Lord) x2
My strength is Your love
Your promises are from above

Who do I Have but You -  ما لي سواك - Translation

Lyrics:

Oh you who loves me,
and for me came and to me called while I was in chains 
You waited on me 
and you held my broken heart throughout my life

(Why did you love me?
what good is in me?)x2 
I am a sinner, full of much evil
but willingly You came to live inside me

Oh you who loves me,
deep in Your heart is grace that fills me and cleanses my sins
Your hand that guides me 
and your kindness it comforts me throughout all my days 

(Why did you love me?
what good is in me?)x2 
I am a sinner, full of much evil
but willingly You came to live inside me

Oh you who loves me,
under your feet, I pour my fragrance and worship You
Jesus you love me
I live for you, I am your servant giving up my heart 

(Why did you love me?
what good is in me?)x2 
I am a sinner, full of much evil
but willingly You came to live inside me

Oh You Who Loved Me - Ft. Gaby Youssef

(Verse)
Golden sand stuck to my skin
You laugh louder than the waves crashing in
I trace the freckles on your shoulder
But every day
The nights get colder

(Chorus)
I love you
Summer boy
Will you still be here when summer is over
When the leaves fall
Will you stay closer
I love you
Summer boy

(Verse 2)
The ice cream melts faster than we can eat
Your hand in mine
We walk these quiet streets
You tell me stories like they’re secrets to keep
But will you still whisper when the world falls asleep

(Chorus)
I love you
Summer boy
Will you still be here when summer is over
When the sky turns gray
Will you pull me closer
I love you
Summer boy

(Bridge)
Seasons change
But hearts can freeze
Promises hang like leaves in the trees
Will you be the sun in my winter’s chill
Or just a shadow
A maybe
A thrill

(Chorus)
I love you
Summer boy
Will you still be here when summer is over
When the warm fades
Will you stay or wander
I love you
Summer boy

Summer Boy

Mina Hanna's Album

My Mothers the Nuns

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

His Sweet Voice - Erin Melek & Anthony Marcos feat. Father Suriel Costandi
Oud by Moura Raghib

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.”

Never did I ever care to 
heed to Him, nor to His words.
Therefore I walked away with His
warnings of pain in contempt.

My path grew ever more treacherous,
menacing darkness has prevailed.
I cried in my profound anguish:
“Where is Thy delightful Face?”

My grief has exceeded limits
due to my straying away. 
Desolated, I requested: 
“O my Savior! Come to me!”

Straightaway, a light shone brightly,
O how radiant it was!
My tender Redeemer with a
smile appeared to my aid.

Return to Me
