Your mercies (arabic & english) - St Mary & St Minas Coptic Orthodox Church

(Original Translation)

Back & forth a drop of water
Into the river with no stop
Only when it heard some talking
Thought of listening & why not 

John the baptist cried & said
Everyone should go ahead
Stop sinning & get baptized
For the remission of our sins

Then one day the drop was sleeping
Heard a noise & then woke up 
Happily singing, shouting, jumping
Into the river with no stop

The Son of God was there baptized
Voice was heard from heaven above
You are My Beloved Son
Spirit Upon Him like a dove

The baptism is a blessing
To His kingdom we are led
We were born of water & spirit 
& His word we all will spread

A new life we’ve been given
And our spot is in Heaven 
Our sins are forgiven  
In our hearts He will live in

واحبيبي

Lyrics:

One day You passed by me
You saw chains on my hands
I saw with my own eyes
Tears for me in Your eyes

One day I passed by You
I saw my chains on Your hands
I’m free because of You
Then tears filled my eyes

(“How much, Lord, did You pay
To set me free?” I asked
“My son, it is a lot,
But not too much for you.”) x2

One day by me You’ll pass
About my freedom You’ll ask
Feeling my slavery
Although in You I’m free

My sins have bounded me
Loving the world around me
I seek my place in it
That I am Yours I forget

(Free yet I am Your slave
Yours for all of my days
Your slave and free I’ll live
To You myself I give.) x2
