Teach me to Wait on You O Lord

♱
Based on the prayer in Jonah 2, with my lovely sister :)
Original Arabic words by Fr. Makary Younan
*Related saying by St. Macarius the Egyptian below lyrics!

(Chorus)
Hear my cry Lord, I pray to Thee, 
And to my voice incline Your ear, 
(Hold me and have mercy on me,) x2
(For You O Lord I am in great need.) x2

(Verse 1)
My soul is troubled in the deep, 
And my eyes are full of tears, 
(Now I remembered You indeed,) x2
(For Your salvation is so near.) x2

(Verse 2)
All of the waves came upon me, 
And I was drowned in the deep sea, 
(I asked for help, where could it be) x2 
(But in the hands of my Lord dear.) x2

(Chorus)
So hear my cry Lord, I pray to Thee, 
And to my voice incline Your ear, 
(Hold me and have mercy on me,) x2 
(For You O Lord I am in great need.) x2

(Verse 3)
My heart is trembling in great fear,
And my head is wrapped in weeds, 
(Out of the depths I cried to Thee,) x2
(Save my soul and set me free.) x2

(Verse 4)
God ordered the whale in the sea, 
To safely drop Jonah down in peace, 
(In the whale's belly Jonah kneeled,) x2
(And thanked the Lord for His great deed.) x2

* "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

From all that is evil
You hold me by the right hand
My heart with You rejoices) x2

Refrain: 

(You're the true Shepherd
You carry me on Your shoulders
You take me to green pastures
(Your love is overwhelming))(x2)

(You're always with me
You will never leave me
Your voice is within me
"Do not fear, My Child") x2

Refrain

(You will elevate me
In the midst of my suffering
You strengthen my weakness
You are my true fortress) x2

In times of tribulations
Your hand guides me
Doing good for me) x2

Sunday Psali - I sought after You

In the Midst of the Raging Sea x I'll Cast All My Cares On You | Mashup

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

One Day You Passed By Me

The Hymn of the Seven Tunes; Cantor Bola Mounir 2015

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
