Fr Mina Ibrahim Ayad Gerges - O Good Mother
The Second Scasis, Prayer Excerpt 88, page 146 in St Ephraim the Syrian's Spiritual Psalter excerpted by Bishop Theophan the Recluse

Lyrics:

O Good Mother of the all Good God
Look upon me with your merciful eye

(O Good Mother of the all Good God) x2
(Look upon me with your merciful eye) x2

Grant me repentance and a faithful mind
Grant me chaste reason and humble thinking

Grant me a sober soul and spiritual peace
that the Lord granted to His disciples

Disperse the clouds of my sorrow
Clear the confusion of my thoughts

Enlarge my heart with joy and gladness
that I may walk the path of your Son's commandments

Be my companion and guide as I pass through this life
with a pure conscience and without doubt

Stand beside your servant as I offer prayer
to the honor and glory of your Son and Lord

O Good Mother - A Prayer Of St Ephraim The Syrian (Live 20 August 2021)

Your Love O Mary

Lyrics:
Why have You slept, oh rising Son?
Laying dormant, as I run?
I bring to Your feet, 
The causes of my death,
And lay next to You, in Your glorious grave.

And as I shut my eyes,
You raised me above all these lies, 
That have consumed my head, 
Regarding Your holy death,
And I found the truth, in Your lovely Sunrise.

Chorus: And Michael stands before me,
At the mouth of the tomb,
“Why do you seek the Living 
Among the dead?” 
Swaddled in a manger 
Then swaddled in a grave,
He does not desire my death, 
My own sunrise, He has paved

From the outside of the tomb,
The wailing women’s voices did bloom,
But from inside Your grave,
Eternal life You gave,
And the prophets found, their Truth at last. 

The morning Light spilled into darkness, 
Conquering, triumphant, and victorious 
For we are not bound up, 
To Adam’s unrestrained hands,
But to the palms that were, nailed and bled Life. 

Chorus

I am as greedy as the grave,
To its consuming force I am slave,
Like death, unsatisfied,
But out of the rock in the wilderness, 
You have brought forth, the living water

In the garden, Adam plucks the fruit, 
And in the garden, Christ plucks the cup, 
And in the garden, 
The Gardener appears to me,
And He will cultivate, in me a paradise 

Chorus (x2)

Sunrise

I can hear my Savior calling,
I can hear my Savior calling,
I can hear my Savior calling,
"Take the cross and follow, follow Me."

Where He leads me I will follow,
Where He leads me I will follow,
Where He leads me I will follow,
I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.

If He leads me to the judgement, 
If He leads me to the judgement, 
If He leads me to the judgement, 
I will go with Him, with Him all the way

If in jail or in chains,
If in jail or in chains,
If in jail or in chains,
I will go with Him, with Him all the way

If He leads me to crucifixion,
If He leads me to crucifixion,
If He leads me to crucifixion,
I will go with Him, with Him all the way

If in health or in sickness,
If in health or in sickness,
If in health or in sickness,
I will go with Him, with Him all the way

If I’m beaten or afflicted,
If I’m beaten or afflicted,
If I’m beaten or afflicted,
I will go with Him, with Him all the way

He will lead me to grace and glory,
He will lead me to grace and glory,
He will lead me to grace and glory,
And will go with me, with me all the way

Where He Leads Me

Lyrics:

Lord Make me present like You
How often I underestimate that virtue
How often am I distracted, constantly rushing 
through the little you entrusted me to
This day you gave me as new; You wanted me to rejoice in it with You
Instead, I anxiously run from service, from prayer, and further away from You


O Lord, Im often deceived, why so I think the whole world depends on me?
 “If I don’t give it my best, If I’m not there on time, it will be a catastrophe”, 
Lord show me my littleness, before You, Omnipotent One who upholds all life,
Oh My Lord Jesus Christ; Ever-Present Being, the Lover of Mankind; 

What mystery is it to us that You hold up the universe - yet with everyone
You made them feel like the only one there in the world, You saw what no one else did,
Lord when they looked in your eyes,
They saw the face of love and they were stopped in time.

O Lord how can I witness? The fruit of Your Spirit is not evident inside me
How can I be loving when I’m not patient nor kind, not gentle; without mercy 
Lord I want to look like You; my Father, Role Model, Please Lord, make me anew! 
You promised to take on tomorrow, why can’t I be vulnerable and give you control?

I can’t seem to want to be anywhere you place me
Lord help me to stop closing my eyes to your presence and blessings in each precious moment;
Which you have prepared from the foundation of time, that I may walk in it
But Lord I’m often decieved: Always saying yesterday was lighter, tomorrow will be brighter, but Lord, teach me in the present to find You
Always saying, yesterday was lighter, tomorrow will be brighter, but Lord, teach me in the present to find you
Always saying, yesterday was lighter, tomorrow will be brighter, but Lord of Love make me present to find You

----------------------------

I wrote this song in a period of my life where I really struggled with despondency and busyness. Until now, I really struggle to find the beauty of Christ's presence in each moment I live.
This song came through being genuinely baffled by the paradoxical mystery of our beautiful Lord Jesus who can oversee the entire cosmos for all of eternity, but is simultaneously, infinitely present and poured-out for His creation in each moment. This song is a prayer for deeper communion with Christ and the world around me and for a more true experience of Him in the days He has given me.

Please keep me in your prayers, I hope this song can become a prayer for you too!

Present

Have you seen Him?
The one I love
Have you seen Him
The holy man
Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice
Have you heard Him?
The great I am

I am dark but 
I am lovely 
Among the thorns I am 
His rose and lily
His banner over me 
Is love and grace
And nothing gives me joy
Like his tender face 

Have you seen Him?
The one I love
Have you seen Him
The holy man
Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice 
Have you heard Him?
The great I am

I was wounded 
Broken and empty
But his spirit
Rushed in and filled me 
I was waiting 
For life and healing 
But his sweet eyes alone
Restored my feeling 

Have you seen Him?
The one I love
Have you seen Him
The holy man
Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice 
Have you heard Him?
The great I am

The oil I poured on Him
Could not consume
His sweet aroma
It filled the room
Come and meet him	
Sit at his feet
Drink in his beauty 
It set me free 

Have you seen Him?
The one I love
Have you seen Him
The holy man
Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice 
Have you heard Him?
The great I am

Yeshua — St Mark DC (Convent 2024)

Hail to you Mary, 
the beautiful dove, 
who gave birth, 
to God the Word for us.

You are the flower, 
of incense, 
that has blossomed, 
from the root of Jesse.

The rod of Aaron,
which blossomed, 
without planting or watering, 
is a symbol of you.

You who gave birth to Christ, 
our true God, 
without the seed of man, 
and remained a virgin.

Wherefore everyone, 
magnifies you, 
O my Lady the Mother of God, 
the ever-holy.

And we also pray, 
that we may win mercy, 
through your intercessions, 
with the Lover of Mankind

At Your Cross x Who Do I Have But You | Mashup

Lyrics: 
When I'm filled with sorrow and weakness
No hope and all alone 
In your eyes you see me  
Your child, called to your throne

As you opened up your arms
And looked to me with love 
I remember your promise 
To help me lest I fall

Chorus:
In my times of despair 
I kneel to you in prayer
My Lord Redeemer
I plead please heal me the sinner

At times I feel miles apart
But you call me when I am astray
You created within me Paul 
Taking the Saul away

I am like the samaritan
Weakness overcomes me 
Thirsty longing to be filled
There’s only you to guide me

Chorus

No matter the sin I may commit 
My tears lead me to you 
waiting at your feet as you say 
your sins I paid for you 

I am fearfully made
Ur words I will obey 
My eyes look up to you lord
yearning to see your way 

Chorus
