Lyrics 

Hello Lord, I just have one question 
Did You forget to mention how I could deserve what You just did 
Cuz all I know is You put me in this heavenly place
And all I did was break Your heart and run away
But still You gave 

You gave me Your only Son 
You made me Your chosen one 
You took the load I could not bear and made it Yours 
Somehow You chose to be weak as me 
You chose to feel my pain my fear
Walked in these shoes 
Felt every joy and every loss 
Somehow You saw all of me and still You chose to come
And chose the cross

*Chosen*
 I just want to say 
 I know that I cannot repay 
The debt I'm in so I’ll just pray 
I’ll praise Your name in disbelief
Oh at the love that You’ve shown me 
And say today that all I am is Yours 
For it was You who gave 

You gave me Your only Son 
You made me Your chosen one 
You took the load I could not bear and made it Yours 
Somehow You chose to be weak as me 
You chose to feel my pain my fear
Walked in these shoes 
Felt every joy and every loss 
Somehow You saw all of me and still You chose to come
And chose the cross

But how could the Creator 
Choose to be the creature
Choose to feel my weakness
Choose to make me whole? 
He said I will come my daughter 
So you know how much I love you 
So when you cry to Me you’ll know that I’ve cried too 
So in your pain you know that I understand 
So you read this story and know I have a plan 

I’ll give you my only Son 
My love you are my chosen one 
I’ll take the the load you cannot bear I will make it mine 
Yes I will choose to be weak you 
And choose to feel your pain and fear too 
And in your shoes I'll know every joy and every loss 
Yes I see all of you my love 
And I still choose to come 
And I still choose the cross

Ikhristos Anesti! Alithos Anesti Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

 How can I remain hopeless, Back at the place of Golgotha While the light of hope has shone, By Jesus our risen Lord

Ikhristos Anesti! Alithos Anesti Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

 He carried all our burdens Forgave us our transgressions By his stripes we are healed Granting us his peace indeed

 Ikhristos Anesti! Alithos Anesti Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

 The sting of death he broke When he rose victorious He has lightened our paths And removed all darkness

 Ikhristos Anesti! Alithos Anesti Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

 How could He rise from the dead? Yet we still remain distressed, With rejoicing we now sing, Risen is the King of Kings!

 Ikhristos Anesti! Alithos Anesti Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

 The Mary’s were mourning, While He rose and was living, Christ Himself to them appeared, Indeed the truth was revealed

 Ikhristos Anesti! Alithos Anesti Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

 He conquered all of Hades, The thorns of death He broke, With the power of the cross, We say Shere Pistavros!

 Ikhristos Anesti! Alithos Anesti Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

 For us he suffered scourging Then he died upon the cross So he can watch us from above, What is greater then his love?!

 Ikhristos Anesti! Alithos Anesti Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

 To heaven he ascended after he rose from the dead giving us heavenly peace Ikhristos Analemepsis!

 If your Cross was the end Of your divine plan for us We would then not have said Christ is risen from the dead

* "Suppose a man were in the middle of a river in full flood, and overwhelmed by the water lay lifeless, drowned, with dreadful monsters all round him. If another man, who is not used to swimming, should wish to save the one who fell in, he too is lost, and is drowned with him. Clearly there is need of a skilled swimmer, an expert, to go out into the depth of the water of the gulf, and dive, and bring up the drowned man there among the monsters...The soul, in the same way, has been plunged and drowned in the abyss of darkness and the deep of death, and is dead and parted from God among dreadful monsters; and who is able to go down into those secret chambers and the depths of hell and death, except that expert Workman who fashioned the body? In His own person He enters into two quarters, into the depth of hell, and into the deep gulf of the heart, where the soul with its thoughts is held fast by death, and brings up out of the darksome hole the Adam that lay dead." + Fifty Spiritual Homilies of St. Macarius the Egyptian (Homily 11.12)

Jonah's Prayer/Hear my Cry (اسمع صراخي يا سيدي) - with Carol Eskandar on Violin

Cha kutumaini sina
Ila damu yake bwana
Si - na wema wakutosha
Dhambi zangu kuziosha

Chorus: 
Kwa-ke Yesu nasimama,
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.

On Christ the Solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.

Verse 2:
Nja yangu iwe ndefu
Yeye hunipa wokovu
Mawimbi yakinipiga
Nguvu zake ndizo nanga

When darkness veils His loving face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the vale.

Chorus: 
Kwa-ke Yesu nasimama,
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.

On Christ the Solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.

Verse 3:
Damu yake na sadaka 
natagemea daima
Yote chini yakiisha
mwokozi atanitosha.

His oath, His covenant, His blood,
support me in the ‘whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

Chorus: 
Kwa-ke Yesu nasimama,
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.

On Christ the Solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.

Verse 4:
Nikitwa hukumuni
rohoni nina amani
Nikivikwa haki yake
sina hofu mbele zake.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
dressed-in His righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne.

Chorus: 
Kwa-ke Yesu nasimama,
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.

On Christ the Solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.
Other ground is sinking sand.

Chorus:
Kwa-ke Yesu nasimama,
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.

Kwa-ke Yesu nasimama,
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.
Ndi-ye mwamba ni salama.

My heart with You rejoices) x2
