Amen Alleluia ♱ Nayrouz (Live) آمين الليلويا ♱ النيروز

ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ (O-On Oohelpis Excerpt 1) Mlm Reda Barsoum | لحن أوأون أوهيلبيس المعلم رضا برسوم

I Won't Forget…

I won't forget a year that passed that overflowed with love
And Your gentleness and care and kindness from You Lord
And I won't forget that I was in between Your hands and You held me
Like the father who holds his child on his tender chest

I won't forget that day You reached Your hand out to save me
And how You shaped my heart O Potter and filled me
And I won't forget that I was in between Your hands and You held me
Like the father who holds his child on his tender chest

I won't forget My savior's love despite my stubbornness
And how He came running to me to strengthen my weakness
And I won't forget that I was in between Your hands and guide me
Like the Shepard that carried his lost sheep on His shoulders.

I won't forget the chains tied to me by the enemies 
And how You saved me O Lord from the deep of darkness
And I won't forget that I was in between Your hands and You held me
Like the father who holds his child on his tender chest

I wont forget  - 1/1/24

Lyrics
The model of our faith, Saint Mary the righteous (2)
For thousands of years God waited, to be born from her womb, (2) 
When the Angel came to tell Mary, about the immaculate birth 
She said “behold the handmaiden of the Lord, 
Be it unto me according to thy word.” 

For God so loved the world, 
Written by the beloved St. John (2)
For this reason He has given,
His only begotten Son,
Three in One and One in Three
The Logos was in St Mary,
She bore Him to be nailed to the cross
So we’ll earn salvation (2)

St Mary said but a few words,
But those words were life changing (2)
She said my soul magnifies the Lord, 
and my spirit rejoiced in Him (2) 
For He has regarded the lowly state of his maidservant 
For He Who is Mighty has done great things for me Holy is His name 

St Mary taught us all the Christian virtues we strive to attain (2)
Though she said but very little, we have oh so much to gain (2) 
Humility, Chastity, Obedience, and Love,
She preached the Gospel everywhere and used words when she must

Life of Prayer and Contemplation

What is our life, if not to live for Christ in everything we do. We must each day try as much as possible to re-centre our lives onto the Rock and Foundation of our existence.

Recentering our lives on Christ
