Lyrics:
Word of God
and Truth itself, 
I gave this day to you; 
But now night has fallen. 
my lamp is barely bright. 
This I prayed over

soo....beautiful, peaceful. Thank you❤❤❤

Amazing 💕

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

Inspired by Hymns in St. Ephrem’s “Hymns on Paradise”

In the evening the world sleeps
closing its eyes
while the morning sun
continues to rise

He may feel distant
but a night’s length away
but now dawn is coming
and He’s here to stay

our death is behind us
our resurrection new
bear up life of mourning,
paradise awaits you

Its dew will wash off
all that plagues your skin,
in comfort He’ll crown you
and the race you’ll win

oh children of light,
you must pray and arise,
that you may be delivered
to the living paradise 

………

blessed are the people
who enter that place
where both men and women 
are clothed there with grace

the crippled will dance again
and the blind will see
the deaf will hear songs of joy
they’ll be so happy 

none toil or hunger
nor grow old or die
we will have no shame there
no reasons to cry

the serpent’s destroyed
and now he’s cast away
praise the Lord who saved you
for this blessed day

oh children of light,
you must pray and arise,
that you may be delivered
to the living paradise

The Living Paradise

Verse 1 - John 4:5-7
He came to a city of Samaria
Where Jacobs well stood
Jesus sat thus by the well, 
The heat of the sun was sure

Along came a woman of Samaria
In her thirst to draw water
“Give me a drink”
Jesus said to her

Chorus 1 - John 4:9-10
“How is it that you
Being a Jew
Ask a drink from me
A Samaritan woman?”

Jesus answered “if you knew
what is the gift of God for you
And who it is that you spoke to 
You would have asked Him
He would give you water that lives”

Verse 2 - John 4:11-12
The woman said to Him
“Sir you have nothing to draw with
Where then do you get that
Living water

Are you greater than 
our father Jacob
Who gave the well 
and drank from it himself”

Chorus 2 - John 4:13-14
Jesus said to her
“Whoever drinks from this will thirst
But whoever drinks of the water 
That I shall give him

He will never thirst
But the water that I shall give
Will become in him a fountain of
Water springing up 
Into everlasting life”

The Living Water

Prayer Before the Setting of the Sun
St. Gregory of Nazianzus.
Hymn 2.1.25. 

Lyrics:

Word of God
and Truth itself, 
I gave this day to you; 
But now night has fallen. 
my lamp is barely bright;
This I prayed over
But even so my feet 
still stumbled, 
darkness fell around me,
That hater of salvation. 
Oh, Christ! Relight my lamp, 
And shine on me once more.

Shine on Me

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.

Have You Seen Him, the One I Love (St. Mark DC)

i wonder when it was that everything changed
some things in myself got re-arranged
sometimes i’m not sure who i am anymore
but i’m not really sure who i’m looking for 

i want to be like You, but then i turn the other way
i say i’ll try tomorrow, then again another day
i look for all the answers but i have no will to change
it really makes no sense and it feels a little strange

it’s difficult to me that what You want is very clear
but i’m hindering myself with uncertainty and fear
and it pains me to face that my faith is so weak
i close my ears to You and get upset that You don’t speak 

i wish that in my shame i’d come closer and hearken
but i run off and hide like adam did in the garden
You come find me in the trees and pull me into Your embrace 
and let me feel the sunshine emanating off Your face 
remind me that i don’t need to be anything at all
other than Your child who listens when You call

When You Call

Verse 1:
There was a rich man 
who lived a life of luxury
And a beggar named Lazarus
who lived in poverty

The rich man was consumed 
by his wealth and pride,
While Lazarus lay at his gate, 
hungry, sick and tired

Chorus:
A man of means, a man of wealth,
The rich man lived for his own self,
His heart was cold
his soul was dry,
to Lazarus turned a blind eye 

Verse 2:
Lazarus outside he lay
his body wasting away
the dogs would come, 
his wounds they’d lick
to comfort that man who was sick

time came when the beggar died
angels took him to abraham’s side
the rich man passed and was buried
but he was taken to Hades

Chorus:
A man of means, a man of wealth,
The rich man lived for his own self,
His heart was cold
his soul was dry,
to Lazarus turned a blind eye 

Verse 3: 
So the rich man in a plea
said, Abraham please have pity
send Lazarus with water that he
may give just a drop to quench me

Abraham replied, 
‘Son, remember in your life
you received all the good things,  
while Lazarus lived in strife 

Now he’s comforted
while you burn in the fire
for you lived your life in vain
now you cannot cross over

Chorus:
A man of means, a man of wealth,
The rich man lived for his own self,
His heart was cold, his soul was dry,
to Lazarus turned a blind eye 
but their fates reversed
for now the rich man did thirst
while Lazarus is at peace 
and his joy will never cease

Blind Eye

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
