Thursday Theotokia -- St. Mary & St. Moses Abbey

Theotokia Medley

From the St. Mark DC 2022 College Fall Retreat...this was my favorite time we've ever sang this song in p&w. We had such amazing instrumentalists: guitar, piano, violin and even bongos.

under your feet, I pour my fragrance and worship You

Jesus you loved me
G                        Dm7                            Em
I live for you, I am your servant giving up my heart

My Lord Precious Jesus (St.Mark DC)

Sopping wet and undone

Lyrics (so far):
My friends call me the junk collector
I stack up all the boxes in a pile a mile high to reach the edges of the ocean with an eye out for my treasure
I follow all the X's but no luck
But no luck

And even if the clouds above me pardoned all my crimes against the water in my bloodstream, I'd have a debt to pay the Southern wind that's rooting for me
Guarding all the exits so I'm stuck
So I'm stuck

I see a hint of gold below and try to mind my business
I'm not a fan of letting go but no reset for the wicked
Don't you know?
Don't you know?

9 Lamb of God, our dear redeeming one is Christ (I want to follow Him)

Hymn 284

Loved with everlasting love,
Led by grace that love to know;
Spirit, breathing from above,
Thou hast taught me it is so.
Oh, this full and perfect peace!
Oh, this transport all divine!
In a love which cannot cease.
I am His, and He is mine.

In a love which cannot cease,
I am His, and He is mine.

Heaven above is softer blue,
Earth around is sweeter green;
Something lives in every hue
Christless eyes have never seen:
Birds with gladder songs o'erflow,
Flow'rs with deeper beauties shine,
Since I know, as now I know,
I am His, and He is mine.

Things that once were wild alarms
Cannot now disturb my rest;
Closed in everlasting arms,
Pillowed on the loving breast.
Oh, to lie forever here,
Doubt and care and self resign,
While He whispers in my ear,
I am His, and He is mine.

His forever, only His:
Who the Lord and me shall part?
Ah, with what a rest of bliss
Christ can fill the loving heart.
Heaven and earth may fade and flee,
Firstborn light in gloom decline;
But, while God and I shall be,
I am His, and He is mine.

Himno 137

1-Me amó con un amor
Tan divino͜ y eternal,
Por Su gracia supe yo
De͜ esta grande realidad.
¡Oh, completa͜ y dulce paz!
¡Me transporta todo͜ el ser!
En amor tan celestial,
Suyo soy y mío͜ es El.

2-Es el cielo más azul,
Y la tierra͜ un verde mar;
Algo vibra͜ en todo͜ aquí,

Pues mi ser en Cristo͜ está.
Dan las aves su canción,
Y las flores brillantez;
Desde que conozco yo,
Que soy Suyo͜ y mío͜ es El.

3-Lo que antes me͜ alarmó
No me puede perturbar;
En Su seno de amor
Yo me calmo͜ en dulce paz.
Quiero͜ aquí permanecer
Renunciando͜ a mi͜ avidez;
Mientras le͜ oigo susurrar
Suyo soy y mío͜ es El.

4-Para siempre suyo soy,
¿Qué nos puede separar?
Cristo en mi corazón,
¡Oh, qué gran felicidad!
Puede͜ el cosmos terminar,
O el alba͜ oscurecer,
Pero͜ estando yo con Dios
Suyo soy y mío͜ es El.
