Bright Saturday

Holy week + Lent

St Mark DC

All night I drenched my bed
With bitter tears then 
I promised God 
It won’t happen again

I’ll stand in your love
I’ll stand as a rock
From all my heart, my heart
I will not go back

I will not go back
I will not go back
From all my heart, my heart
I will not go back

But the fierce warfare
Came upon me 
I have gone back 
To the depth of iniquity

So I cried from my heart
With pure repentance 
But only for a while, a while
And I went back again

Then I went back again
Then I went back again
But only for a while, a while 
Then I went back again

I strengthened my will
And increased my pledges
From the excess of my pride 
I added promises

Sure in my struggle
And my determination 
My soul tricked me, tricked me 
And I went back again

And I went back again
And I went back again
My soul tricked me, tricked me
And I went back again

So I cried out strongly 
And said, “have mercy”
I know my weakness 
O Lord help me

Power comes from You
From above, not from me
As long as You are with me, with me
I won’t go back, surely

I won’t go back surely
I won’t go back surely
As long as You are with me, with me
I won’t go back surely

I Drenched My Bed With Tears (بللت فراشي بدموعي)

The Thanksgiving Prayer (Coptic) -- Abouna Mina Shaheid

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

Refrain

Abouna Paul Guirgis: Agios, Agios, Agios Nahda Liturgy 2019

Yea We Ask You (Arabic)| Fr.Joseph Ashang

Hold my hand, O Lord,
Like You held Peter's hand.
When he started to drown,
You gently held his hand.

[Lifted him over the waves
And made him feel safe.] (2)
[And me too, O Lord,
hold my hand.] (2)

The waves are strong for me;
Makes my heart tremble,
And the winds, O Lord, are strong.
I´m not able to stand.

[When the ship goes up and down,
And rocks are in the way,] (2)
[Tell the waves to be calm,
And hold me in you arms.] (2)

Enter my ship o lord 
And also in my life
Cast my fear away
And heal all my pain

[And dwell in my heart
And fill it with your peace] (2)
[Never leave me alone
To walk in my path] (2)

My faith o lord is weak
Strengthen my faith 
And If I ever doubt you
Or get lost in the way

[Bring me back to live
With you all my life] (2)
[You are my father lord
Your heart is full of love] (2)

Hold My Hand, O Lord

Have You Seen Him, The One I Love

“Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness; come into His presence
with exultation. Know that the Lord Himself is our God; He made us, and not we ourselves”
