O Tell Me John, O Tell Me -- Live Convent 2021

Fraction - Anba Abakir

Refrain:
Watching us, hearing us, loving us
She could never possibly forget us
She´s St Mary mother of Jesus who saved us
We´re her children, and she´s always guiding us.

Verse 1:
She’s in heaven in her glory
The pride of all our saints (2)
Constantly, she’s interceding
With the saints on our behalf.

Verse 2:
She’s in heaven but she appears
To her children everywhere (2)
Spreading on earth love and peace
And preserving faith for all.

Verse 3:
She’s in heaven but she sees
When her children are in tears (2)
Mettias was handcuffed in jail
But she came and broke the chains.

Verse 4:
She’s in heaven but she hears
The pleading of a great Pope (2)
Anba Abraam come out and meet
The faith that moved the mountain.

Verse 5:
She’s in heaven but she leaves
Many miracles where she appears (2)
In the church she comes and shares
With faith we witness her care

Watching Us (Coptic Song for St Mary)

Lyrics:

Oh Creator of Love, Oh refuge of my soul
You are the guarantee in the midst of my journey 
I am in need of You
I am in need of You
I need from You a power to raise me
You, Oh Lord, alone
You, Oh Lord, alone
You aid me when I’m weak
And have mercy

Oh my master, I want to delve so deep in you
Revive me! Give life to me
I want to see the light of your love
Shining inside of me (2x)

Oh Creator of Love! 
Here I am to You, screaming!
I am returning to You. 
To You, I’m returning!
To Your embrace, I’m returning!
To Your path, I’m returning!
To Your love, I’m returning!
Oh Creator of Love (2x)

Oh Creator of Love, Oh source of my power
While in the midst of my sorrows, You are my comforter
I am longing for You
I am longing for You 
I long for You to live in me, oh my King
You, by Your spirit
You, by Your spirit
Throughout my life and journey, You are leading 

Oh my Master, come change my life by Your spirit
And reign over my will 
Touch my heart, my senses and the world wherein I dwell (2x)

Oh Creator of Love! 
Here I am to You, screaming!
I am returning to You. 
To You, I’m returning!
To Your embrace, I’m returning!
To Your path, I’m returning!
To Your love, I’m returning!
Oh Creator of Love (2x)

Oh Creator Of Love

In the midst of the raging sea ترنيمة وسط البحر الهايج - Mena Fawzy & Mike Morkos

Refrain:
In one of my dreams, while sleeping in peace
I saw three fathers and a soldier strong yet meek
In one of my dreams a great and beautiful scene
I saw three fathers and a soldier strong yet meek

One had a long white beard, old in age and held a rod
He lived in a distant cave, held the writings that he taught
His sayings were plenty and the demons he fought
(My beloved Abba Anthony may his blessings be with me) 2x
Quickly I ran to him, kissed the cross in his hand
He urged me to remember from sin I must withstand

The second had a sack, carried it on his back
He walked around with care and from it sin poured 
He said these are my sins in God’s mercy do not doubt
(My beloved Abba Moses the strong and the holy) 2x
Quickly I ran to him to bear my sufferings
He urges me to remember the way of repentance

The third was kneeling down in the corner of his room
He had a bowl of water with love he was consumed
He lived with our Lord, washed the feet of the Bridegroom
(My beloved Abba Pishoy with love in Christ he grew) 2x
Quickly I ran to him, in peace he let me in
He urged me to remember have love for all humans 

And the soldier was standing lifting up his hands
A red cloak on his shoulders, two camels in the sand 
Armor on his chest, the monastery behind him
(My beloved St.Mina the faithful intercessor) 2x
Quickly I ran to him, with open arms he came my way 
He urged me to remember be steadfast in the faith

In One Of My Dreams

He Paid All My Debt

Friday Psali & Friday Theotokia

This is a hymn for the Man Born Blind.  It is typically recited during communion of the sixth week of the Great Lent.  The attached audio is a recording of the hymn in Arabic.

I am the blind without a companion
I don’t have a friend or a pal
Sitting to beg in the street
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Refrain:
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

It was announced to me about the news
Jesus is coming among the multitudes
i cried have mercy on me Jesus
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

One of the disciples rebuked me
For my cries he criticized me
But Jesus came and asked me
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

I don’t care about the criticizers
Jesus is faithful and his promises are true
He spat on the floor and made clay
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

And the Lord of peace said to me
Go, my son, speedily
And wash in the Silwam Lake
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

And I turned intently
With haste and eagerly
And washed my eyes from the clay
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Jesus healed me the blind
My heart from joy is overflowing
I was blind and now I see
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

I returned to Jesus with great joy
And I worshipped Him with humility
Confessing that He is the Savior
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

At all times I will witness
To the Redeemer of sins I will inform
I was blind and now I see
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

If you come to Him O sinner
He’ll help you, trust me, Jesus loves you
And He’ll open the eyes of your heart
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Once I wandered so far away
from my Good Savior Jesus.
He came to me, He who saved me,
and called for me to return.

Refrain: 
His sweet voice did call me, call me:
“Prolong not thy straying away.
O dear child, return quickly, 
and come to Me, come to Me!”

Cruel thorns left my feet to bleed out,
wounds and agony unparalleled.
I heard the Voice call out to me,
“Thou art in error, return.”

Never did I ever care to 
heed to Him, nor to His words.
Therefore I walked away with His
warnings of pain in contempt.

My path grew ever more treacherous,
menacing darkness has prevailed.
I cried in my profound anguish:
“Where is Thy delightful Face?”

My grief has exceeded limits
due to my straying away. 
Desolated, I requested: 
“O my Savior! Come to me!”

Straightaway, a light shone brightly,
O how radiant it was!
My tender Redeemer with a
smile appeared to my aid.
