أنت الكائن فى كل زمان - القس يسى رزق‬

Fr Philopateer Kamel- Gregorian Liturgy (ابونا فيلوباتير كمال)

(Every day at your cross
I used to come and talk with You
My Lord and God 
To You My Father, I reveal
All my secrets and stories
With no fear)x2

I used to think that I will never
From now on and till forever
Will not change and leave my place
Under Your cross
In my heart I always prayed
Your love remains in me and stays
Nothing will take me away
I’ll remain and pray 
Remain and pray 

When I grew with chains anew
I tried to call you
I tried and failed
Sadness and tears
Growing so near
With sin and lust and pride
In a world of vain & fear

And I wondered when I can
Return to You 
And how I will
Stay again under your cross
As a child

In my heart I always prayed
You’ll forgive me
And fulfill
My hearts desires that I stay at Your cross
And pray again

Lyrics from "At Your Cross" by Tervina Hebaysh

Prayed on Covenant Thursday May 2, 2013 in St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church, East Brunswick, NJ.

Agios (Gregorian) - Fr. Mikhail Tobia

Original Song

1. [O Lord Jesus, I've been lost  
Christ, I seek to be with You  
Purify me, at all costs
And teach me what is true

My Lord Jesus the helper  
Come O Lord do not delay  
Be my shield and protector  
Show me my Lord the true way]

R: [Lord I’ve strayed I’ve lost my way
My sins are overwhelming me
Come visit me every day
And heal the pain inside of me]x2

2. [The comfort of all weary souls
The hope of those in agony
The One who makes the broken whole
And sets all the captives free

Hold me close when tears do fall  
Take me in Your loving embrace  
I am Your child, through it all
Guide me always by Your grace]

R: [Lord I’ve strayed I’ve lost my way
My sins are overwhelming me
Come visit me every day
And heal the pain inside of me]x2

3. [Father accept my contrition  
Cleanse me and make me unblemished  
You forgive without condition  
And restore what sin diminished]x2

R2: [Lord You’ll stay even with my ways
My sins won’t overpower me
You are with me all my days
You’ve healed the pain inside of me]x2

O Beloved (Feat: Christina Maurice, Mark Botros)

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

His Sweet Voice

A stranger I lived in the world - غريبا عشت في الدنيا

*From the Poems of H.H Pope Shenouda III

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 the 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
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
Beware that now I am alive
A stranger as were my fathers.

A stranger I lived in the world - غريبا عشت في الدنيا
