Love Divine All Love Excelling

Lyrics:
Why have You slept, oh rising Son?
Laying dormant, as I run?
I bring to Your feet, 
The causes of my death,
And lay next to You, in Your glorious grave.

And as I shut my eyes,
You raised me above all these lies, 
That have consumed my head, 
Regarding Your holy death,
And I found the truth, in Your lovely Sunrise.

Chorus: And Michael stands before me,
At the mouth of the tomb,
“Why do you seek the Living 
Among the dead?” 
Swaddled in a manger 
Then swaddled in a grave,
He does not desire my death, 
My own sunrise, He has paved

From the outside of the tomb,
The wailing women’s voices did bloom,
But from inside Your grave,
Eternal life You gave,
And the prophets found, their Truth at last. 

The morning Light spilled into darkness, 
Conquering, triumphant, and victorious 
For we are not bound up, 
To Adam’s unrestrained hands,
But to the palms that were, nailed and bled Life. 

Chorus

I am as greedy as the grave,
To its consuming force I am slave,
Like death, unsatisfied,
But out of the rock in the wilderness, 
You have brought forth, the living water

In the garden, Adam plucks the fruit, 
And in the garden, Christ plucks the cup, 
And in the garden, 
The Gardener appears to me,
And He will cultivate, in me a paradise 

Chorus (x2)

Verse 1:
You're my Protector
From all that is evil
You hold me by the right hand
My heart with You rejoices

أنت اللى بتحمينى
من كل الشرور
ماسك بيمينى
قلبى معاك مسرور

Refrain:
You're the true Shepherd
You carry me on Your shoulders
You take me to green pastures
Your love is overwhelming

أنت الرب الراعى
على كتفك شايلنى
بتاخدنى المراعى
وبحبك غامرنى
وبحبك غامرنى

Verse 2:
You're always with me
You will never leave me
Your voice is within me
"Do not fear, My Child"

انت اللى معايا
ولا يمكن تسيبنى
وصوتك جوايا
متخافشى يا أبنى

Refrain

Verse 3:
You will elevate me
In the midst of my suffering
You strengthen my weakness
You are my true fortress

انت اللى بترفعنى
فى وسط الآمى
فى ضعفى تشجعنى
يا مصدر سلامى

Refrain

Verse 4:
You will support me 
in times of tribulation
Your hand guides me 
doing good for me

انت اللى بتسدنى
فى الظرف المرير
أيدك بتشكلنى
وبتعمل للخير

(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:

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)

Heb. 12:13, 2 Sam 13:4
Oh why am I parylized?
Daughter of a king but every day where is my strength?
Oh You wake me up with a goal to glorify You to serve Your name but I give nothing
But today, O Lord, I want to change. 
But today, let me be who You see in me.

Malachi 1:8, Heb. 13:15, Ps. 73:26
Lord I’m done with lame and blind 
I want to offer You a pure sacrifice, a true offering of praise
Lord today, give me a heart of strength 
to trample the enemy
Lord could this be me?

Matt. 12:11, Heb. 12:6
Today, I feel myself going astray
But Lord pick me up and place me in Your loving embrace
Today, teach me, even chasten me 
Lord anything, just let me hear what You have to say

1 Cor. 15:57, 2 Cor 6:2, Eph. 1:18
Cause today is the day of victory
Lord today and always You are mighty!
O Lord, show me the hope of Your call
Please Open the eyes of my heart
To see Your richness

Lord I want to be,
Lord, make me want to be
Everything You see in me
I want to be
Lord, I want to see
All the glory You want me to see
All the miracles, blessings for me, I want to see
Oh, and I want to believe in Your heavenly promise for me, 
In Your life giving mysteries, I want to receive
Lord, I want to be.

Haggai 1:14, Matt. 5:13-14, 2 Cor. 2:15
Dare I say, make me a giant, Lord make me a saint
Lord please bear with me and stir me to change
So I can glorify Your name
Lord make me a light, Oh make me salt
I want to be spreading Your beautiful aroma
For the world to see
For the world to know
The mighty God, who loves them and me
Lord, I wanna be

Based on the prayer in Jonah 2, with my lovely sister :)
Original Arabic words by Fr. Makary Younan
*Related saying by St. Macarius the Egyptian below lyrics!

(Chorus)
Hear my cry Lord, I pray to Thee, 
And to my voice incline Your ear, 
(Hold me and have mercy on me,) x2
(For You O Lord I am in great need.) x2

(Verse 1)
My soul is troubled in the deep, 
And my eyes are full of tears, 
(Now I remembered You indeed,) x2
(For Your salvation is so near.) x2

(Verse 2)
All of the waves came upon me, 
And I was drowned in the deep sea, 
(I asked for help, where could it be) x2 
(But in the hands of my Lord dear.) x2

(Chorus)
So hear my cry Lord, I pray to Thee, 
And to my voice incline Your ear, 
(Hold me and have mercy on me,) x2 
(For You O Lord I am in great need.) x2

(Verse 3)
My heart is trembling in great fear,
And my head is wrapped in weeds, 
(Out of the depths I cried to Thee,) x2
(Save my soul and set me free.) x2

(Verse 4)
God ordered the whale in the sea, 
To safely drop Jonah down in peace, 
(In the whale's belly Jonah kneeled,) x2
(And thanked the Lord for His great deed.) x2

* "Suppose a man were in the middle of a river in full flood, and overwhelmed by the water lay lifeless, drowned, with dreadful monsters all round him. If another man, who is not used to swimming, should wish to save the one who fell in, he too is lost, and is drowned with him. Clearly there is need of a skilled swimmer, an expert, to go out into the depth of the water of the gulf, and dive, and bring up the drowned man there among the monsters...The soul, in the same way, has been plunged and drowned in the abyss of darkness and the deep of death, and is dead and parted from God among dreadful monsters; and who is able to go down into those secret chambers and the depths of hell and death, except that expert Workman who fashioned the body? In His own person He enters into two quarters, into the depth of hell, and into the deep gulf of the heart, where the soul with its thoughts is held fast by death, and brings up out of the darksome hole the Adam that lay dead." + Fifty Spiritual Homilies of St. Macarius the Egyptian (Homily 11.12)

Jonah's Prayer/Hear my Cry (اسمع صراخي يا سيدي) - with Carol Eskandar on Violin

In matters of style 
swim with the current
in matters of principle
stand like a rock

In Life there is meaning
for me to seek
Forty two
maybe there are glitches
nature does not hurry
yet everything is done
be Slow to anger
be quick to forgive
Stars are my guides

And this Our life
exempt from public haunt
finds tongue in trees 
books in the running brooks
sermons in stones
and good in everything 

Universe is where I belong
Tapestry of rainbow
I bow in humility
Come to the woods
for here is rest
Welcome to my heaven
the universe is my home

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

Many years have passed by
And the Lord cared for me
Carried me everyday 
On His eternal shoulders
(And with His hands He holds me
Through the path of love He leads me) x2

Refrain:

Jesus the King of kings
And the Lord of Lords
Our souls are longing
To see Your majesty
(And see You with our eyes
O Lord You are so precious) x2

With His Love Christ embraced me
And my heart rejoiced
To glory He took me
To end all my mourning
(And Heaven will be for me
In the presence of my Redeemer) x2

Jesus the King of Kings 
And the wounded Lord
Our souls are longing
To be filled with the Spirit 
(And overflow O Lord
With your spiritual gifts) x2 

Jesus is coming quickly 
To take us on the cloud
And wipe away our tears
And end our troubles
(With everlasting happiness 
And all heavenly joy) x2
