I Heard The Voice Of Jesus Say

(Chorus)
Be strengthened O my soul 
Be ready for eternity 
Arise and be enlightened  
And forsake all sin
Your life belongs to Your God
Jesus, the savior of mankind
For He awaits you	
With His strong love

Do not look, O my soul
At your dark condition
For the Lord has called you
The most beautiful among women
Be vigilant in your prayers
And look up to heaven 
Be strong in your struggles
And cling to Him with hope

Be strengthened O my soul 
Be ready for eternity 
Arise and be enlightened  
And forsake all sin
Your life belongs to Your God
Jesus, the savior of mankind
For He awaits you	
With His strong love

In the night while on my bed
I sought the lover of my soul
I sought, but I found 
My cup full of sins
But He awaits my return
He runs to me from afar
I will not forsake You, Lord
Restore me again, O my God

Be strengthened O my soul 
Be ready for eternity 
Arise and be enlightened  
And forsake all sin
Your life belongs to Your God
Jesus, the savior of mankind
For He awaits you	
With His strong love

I lie sleeping
But my heart is awake
Awaiting my beloved’s voice
O Lord come speedily to my help
Take ownership of my life
Remove from me all distress
Grant me that I may
Live with You forever

Be strengthened O my soul 
Be ready for eternity 
Arise and be enlightened  
And forsake all sin
Your life belongs to Your God
Jesus, the savior of mankind
For He awaits you	
With His strong love

Come O lover of my soul
For my heart is yearning
Draw me close to You
And into Your depth
Count me among the sheep
At Your right hand
Accept me in Your kingdom
When the time comes

Be strengthened O my soul 
Be ready for eternity 
Arise and be enlightened  
And forsake all sin
Your life belongs to Your God
Jesus, the savior of mankind
For He awaits you	
With His strong love


Be Strengthened O My Soul (تقوي يا نفسي)

O Thou in whose presence delighteth my soul
And whom in my distress I call
My comfort by day and my refuge by night
My stronghold whenever I fall.

Shepherd of my soul I beg Thee to tell
Where thou keepest thy sheep to rest
For why should I roam in the valley of tears
And wander as one who is lost.

I ask thee to tell me daughters of Zion
Have ye seen the One I adore
I seek him in vain in the night of my soul
But lo! I can find Him no more.

Shepherd of my soul I shall follow Thee
O how sweet Thy voice is to me
So guide me and lead me and show me the way
My only desire is Thee.

I am my beloved’s and He is mine too
He calleth me sister and spouse
O how do I long for the day we shall wed
In heaven in His Father’s house.

O Thou In Whose Presence

1. Let us give thanks to our God

Let His grateful children gather
To give thanks to the Father

As he loves His Only-Begotten Son.
Before the founding of the world

Humanity and no one other, 
The Word took flesh from our kind
Let us give thanks to the Father

In the womb of the Theotokos
To save us from our sins
Let us give thanks to the Father

Let us give thanks to the Father

An angel from heaven
A companion and guardian
Let us give thanks to the Father

The glistening stars and galaxies
A testament to His Majesty

16. For in His hands we choose to fall
Rather than the hands of men
For His majesty is like His mercy
Let us give thanks to the Father

17. For He created Earth for us
And adorned it with natural wonders
Til He brings us to the eternal home
Let us give thanks to the Father

18. For He has shown us
What’s greater than earthly power
And deceptive riches of this world
Let us give thanks to the Father

19. On this day of Thanksgiving
Let’s praise and glorify the Lord
That He may forgive us our sins
And we all cry out saying:

20. Our Father, God of Love
We offer you this sacrifice
A broken heart of thanksgiving
Unto the end of the ages.

Thanksgiving Chant

As the Deer Pants

I am the blind man without a friend
I have no support or companion
Sitting to beg at the street's end
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Refrain:
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

It was announced to me about the news
Jesus is coming among the multitudes
Jesus have mercy, do not refuse
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Refrain

A disciple rebuked me badly
My cries he opposed steadfastly
But Jesus came and asked me
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Refrain

I don't care what the critics say
Jesus is faithful; He won't delay
He spat on the ground and made clay
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Refrain

And the Lord of peace said to me
Go to the pool, my son, speedily
To wash at Siloam, He sent me
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Refrain

So I departed right away
In great haste I ran to obey
And washed my eyes from the clay
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Refrain

Jesus had compassion on me
One thing my heart knows clearly
That though I was blind; now I see
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Refrain

I returned to Jesus joyfully
And worshipped Him with humility
He is the Savior, I believe
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Refrain

I'll witness to Him ceaselessly
The Redeemer has saved me
I was blind and now I see
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Refrain

O sinner come, He will help you
Jesus loves you, this is true
He'll open your heart's eyes anew
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Refrain

Opened My Eyes

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

Melody of Apocalypse Saturday - اه يا نائم في القبور - Lord at Rest in the Tomb - 2020 Live

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.
