to whom else shall i go

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?

All You Heavenly Orders

(Every day at your cross
I used to come and talk with You
My Lord and God 
To You My Father, I reveal
All my secrets and stories
With no fear)x2

I used to think that I will never
From now on and till forever
Will not change and leave my place
Under Your cross
In my heart I always prayed
Your love remains in me and stays
Nothing will take me away
I’ll remain and pray 
Remain and pray 

When I grew with chains anew
I tried to call you
I tried and failed
Sadness and tears
Growing so near
With sin and lust and pride
In a world of vain & fear

And I wondered when I can
Return to You 
And how I will
Stay again under your cross
As a child

In my heart I always prayed
You’ll forgive me
And fulfill
My hearts desires that I stay at Your cross
And pray again

No Eye Has Seen (Lyrics and Chords)

Capo 5

Em  Am  D
No eye has seen another God like You
Am  Em
Who opens the jails and shatters the chains (2x)
Em  Am  D  Am  C  Em
Who parts the sea and behold there’s a path
Em  Am  D  Am  C  Em
No mountains or barriers get in His way

Refrain:
Em  Am  D  C  Am  Em
No eye has seen another God like You  (2x)

Who else but You could appear in the flames
Or rescue a soul from the lions’ den  (2x)
Who lights the way when the darkness comes
With a blaze of love in a pillar of fire


Who else but You went to Calvary
Who else paid my debts, carried my iniquity  (2x)
and You promised me You’re coming very soon
To take me to heaven for eternity

George Beshara's Album

No Eye Has Seen

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.

His Sweet Voice - Erin Melek & Anthony Marcos feat. Fr. Suriel Costandi

Chorus (Psalms 139:9-10 NKJV)
    
If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the greatest depths of the sea,
Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.

Verse 1 (Psalms 139:13-14 NKJV)
                                      
For you formed my inward parts
You covered me in my mothers womb
I am fearfully and wonderfully made
By my bridegroom

Pre-Chorus (Psalms 139:7 NKJV)

Where can I go from Your Spirit
Lord where can I flee
Nothing is out of your presence
My soul longs for thee

Chorus (Psalms 139:9-10 NKJV)
    
If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the greatest depths of the sea,
Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.


Verse 2 (Psalms 139:16 NKJV)
                                                                  
Your eyes saw my substance,
Before I was even formed,
My soul was not carelessly made,
But beautifully adorned

Pre Chorus 2 (Psalms 139:1,4 NIV)

You have searched my thoughts O Lord
All too well You know me
Before a word is on my tongue
You, Lord, know it completely 


Chorus (Psalms 139:9-10 NKJV)
    
If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the greatest depths of the sea,
Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.

Psalm 139 Original Song

Because my Lord is good I will lift His name higher;
Everywhere I go I will lift His name higher!

At Your Cross
