In the story of the paralytic man, we neglect one important group: the crowd that stands watching as Christ heals. Fr Joseph breaks down how this crowd represents the church, how they played a role in the healing of the paralytic man, and how each church should adopt unity and reflect heaven.

Ethveti Anastasis (Funeral for Hegumen Raphael Hanna)| Arsani Sidarous and Chorus

1) I place my soul into your hands, my Lord Jesus Christ 
Lead me cause I depend on you, lead me and I'll serve you 
Please be my guide in every way, be my guard I won't go astray 
Sanctify my heart and my needs, until I see you Lord 

Refrain:
As you have always said O source of all goodness 
Come unto me O you weary, Come on to me and you'll find rest 
Come onto me I am the Way, I am the Truth and Life 

2) When my life gets filled with worries and darkness overwhelms 
The clouds will be dispersed away by you O Prince of Peace 
You are my shield you are my hope, you are my strength you are my goal 
You are the perfect love O Lord, of whom then shall I fear 

Refrain:
As you have always said O source of all goodness 
Come unto me O you weary, Come on to me and you'll find rest 
Come onto me I am the Way, I am the Truth and Life 

3) You are my shepherd I'll not want, lead me to still waters 
Restore my soul I'm calling you, lead me to righteousness 
Though I walk through the Death Valley, with you I will fear no evil 
You are my comfort staff and rod, all the days of my life 

Refrain:
As you have always said O source of all goodness 
Come unto me O you weary, Come on to me and you'll find rest 
Come onto me I am the Way, I am the Truth and Life 

4) Come take your cross and follow me, Fear not I am with thee 
Cheer up I've overcome the world, your tears I'll wipe away 
I showed you my love on the cross, and if your faithful unto death 
I will give you eternal life, come now and follow me

Refrain:
As you have always said O source of all goodness 
Come unto me O you weary, Come on to me and you'll find rest 
Come onto me I am the Way, I am the Truth and Life

I Place My Soul Into Your Hands | سلمت نفسي في يديك
