REFRAIN:

O MY MASTER HOW CRUEL WAS THE SHAMEFUL DEATH OF THE CROSS
BEFORE IT CARRIED YOU, YOU CARRIED IT
O RIGHTEOUS ONE

1)YOU ASKED FOR WATER, YOU TASTED VINEGAR
AND ALL BITTERNESS,
YOUR BLOOD FLOWED FROM YOUR BODY,
TO SAVE ALL SINNERS

2) UPON THE CROSS, O MY BELOVED
YOU SUFFERED MUCH PAIN
BY THOSE WHO CAUSED YOUR SUFFERING 
YET YOU FORGAVE THEIR SINS

3)ALL THIS MY LORD, 
TO BRING ME BACK
IN YOUR PROTECTION, I’LL LIVE WITH YOU
AND YOU WILL COMFORT ME

4) OH THAT MY HEART, MAY TREASURE YOU
SO THAT I MAY ATTAIN YOU
AND LIVE SINCERELY 
IN SUBMISSION TO YOU

O My Master

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

A translation/rewrite of the Arabic spiritual song "F Yom Mn El Ayam".

Lyrics:
Chorus:
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

Verse 1:
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) x2

Quickly I ran to him
Kissed the cross in his hand
He urged me to remember
From sin I must withstand

Verse 2:
The second had a sack
Carried it on his back
He walked around with care
And from it sand poured out
He said these are my sins 
In God's mercy do not doubt

(My beloved Abba Moses
The strong and the holy) X2

Quickly I ran with him
To bear my sufferings
He urged me to remember
The way of repentance

Verse 3:
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) x2

Quickly I ran to him
In peace he let me in
He urged me to remember
Have love for all humans

Verse 4:
And the soldier was standing
Lifting up his hands
A red cloak on his shoulders
Two camels on the sand
Armour on his chest 
The monastery behind him

(My beloved St. Mina
The faithful intercessor) x2

Quickly I ran to him
With open arms he came my way
He urged me to remember
Be steadfast in the faith

O MARY

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

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

Fraction of the Great Fast to Confession_Fr. Suriel Costandi

Many years have passed by
And the Lord cared for me
Carried me everyday 
On His eternal shoulders
(And with His hands He holds me
Through the path of love He leads me) x2

Refrain:

Jesus the King of kings
And the Lord of Lords
Our souls are longing
To see Your majesty
(And see You with our eyes
O Lord You are so precious) x2

With His Love Christ embraced me
And my heart rejoiced
To glory He took me
To end all my mourning
(And Heaven will be for me
In the presence of my Redeemer) x2

Jesus the King of Kings 
And the wounded Lord
Our souls are longing
To be filled with the Spirit 
(And overflow O Lord
With your spiritual gifts) x2 

Jesus is coming quickly 
To take us on the cloud
And wipe away our tears
And end our troubles
(With everlasting happiness 
And all heavenly joy) x2
