You’re the True Shepherd -- St. Mark DC Youth Live

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.

His Sweet Voice - College Ministry at St. Mark DC (Live)

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

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

Lyrics:

How could I forget the One who died for me?
How could I forget the side that had to bleed? (2)

He who saw me in my misery, so He came running to me
He who bought me and redeemed me broke my chains and set me free (2)

How could I forget your kindness through the years?
Your right hand always reaching out to me. (2)

In my joys and in my sorrows, in all of life's storms
You've become my friend and fortress, You're the One to whom I call (2)

Help me Lord I want to lose myself in You;
All my pride has blinded me from seeing You. (2)

So I'll keep watching and praying, setting my eyes on You 
Trusting in your sure promise, that You'll be back for me soon (2)

How Could I Forget

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

*Icon by George Makary

Yeshua — St Mark DC (Convent 2024)

A stranger I lived in the world
A foreigner like my forefathers
A pilgrim in my attitude
In my thoughts and my desires

A stranger, I have no one to
Unload on him, my thoughts so true

The people do not like my roots
Nor do they understand my end
In craze arise the multitude
In maddening noise without an end
And I remain in solitude
Serenity in my heart felt

A stranger, I can find no home
Nor a corner to rest alone

I cast away the world’s pleasures
Ignoring her callings to me
I went, I dragged away my things
Away from their merry-makings
My heart silent, indifferent
To all they think is important

My listening will never yield
To loud and worldly conversing

I wander off all on my own
So happy to be in the vast
With my timbrel and my cymbal
And melodies of praise I sing
And now comes the holy moment
In which I retreat with my King

I roam about as a spirit
Invisible to on-lookers
The world alien I am to it
A foreigner like my forefathers

My existence is a triumph
No wealth, power to disturb me
No house is here to delay me
Nor any friend or family
And with me are sweet verses
And great proverbs to console me

The Bible here my only lamp
And nothing else to concern me

I do not know of any fear
Nor any bonds that hinder me
No longer does the world rule me
Against me and at times for me

I say to every enemy
Who only wants to seduce me
The world alien I am to it
A foreigner as were my fathers

A Stranger — St Mark DC (Convent 2024)

My Lord, I rest in peace. 
You see the waves rise high and strong, 
Command the storm to cease.) x2

And waves shake all around, 
With Jesus guiding at the helm,
I know we’re safe and sound. ) x2

((Through trials, pain, and suffering) x2
I walk this weary land,
But soon my Savior will return,
And wipe tears with His hand.) x2

((Through valleys dark and filled with grief) x2
He turns my tears to spring, 
For soon my Savior will return
and joy and peace He brings.) x2

((So I will live with thankfulness) x2
Rejoicing through the tide.
No storm can shake or bring me down, 
With Jesus by my side.) x2

Lyrics:

Hear my cry I pray to thee
And to my voice incline Your ear
Hold me and have mercy upon me (2x)
For You Oh Lord I'm in great need (2x)
	
My soul is troubled in the deep
And my eyes are full of tears
Now I remember you indeed (2x)
For your salvation is near (2x)

All the waves came upon me
I was drowned in the deep sea
I asked for help. Where could it be? (2x)
But in the hands of my dear Lord (2x)

My heart is trembling in great fear
And my head is wrapped in weeds
Out of the depths I cried to Thee (2x)
Save my soul and set me free (2x)

God ordered the whale in the sea
To safely drop Jonah in peace
In the whale's belly Jonah kneels (2x)
And thank the Lord for his great deeds (2x)

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.

with exultation. Know that the Lord Himself is our God; He made us, and not we ourselves”
