Good stuff

Instrumental: Youssef Asaad

￼Lord as I read the psalms
Let me hear You singing
As I read Your words
Let me hear You speaking
As I reflect on each page
Let me see Your image
As I seek to put Your precepts into practice
Let my heart be filled with joy

Lord as I serve the poor
Reveal Your humility
As I love the outcast
Let me meet Your tender eyes
As I kneel before You
Let me feel Your smile
As I pursue virtue repentance and solitude
Let me find You every day

Lord, Let Me—Prayer of St. Gregory Nazianzen

Lyrics:

On a chilly morning one day
In the desert far away
One monk went to the garden
As usual to pray

He saw a strange glow
A grape vine hanging low
But this was not the season
For any grapes to grow

(The monk didn’t wait
Rushed to the monastery’s gate) x2
(And gave it to the Abbott
St Macarious the Great) x2

St. Macarious said who
Should I give this vine to?
Finally he walked to the cell  
Of the eldest monk he knew

He said take this my dear
You are the eldest here
And when you get the blessing
We’ll all be of good cheer

(The monk reluctantly
Took it but so quickly) x2
(Thought how can I enjoy it
When my brothers sleep hungry) x2

He gave it to the monk next door
And it went from door to door
It came back to the abbot
At the end of its tour

St Macaious the Great 
He rose up right away
Asking all the monks to gather 
And hear what he had to say

(He said I clearly see
Seeds of love growing here) x2
(And this grape vine 
Is my sure sign) x2

(Our Lord made us aware
We are light of the world) x2
(And when it’s shining bright
It can never ever hide) x2

Hold My Hand O Lord

(When You are with me 
I cast all my cares behind me 
I look for your love within me
And long to find You all around me) x2

(And see Your love filling the world
Filling my love, with no end
When You’re with me) x2

(When You are with me
I find peace within Your Words
In promises beyond this earth
No eye has seen nor ear heard)x2

(Your love captivated me
I cast my burdens on You to
Heal my hurt)x2

(When You are with me
You illuminate my ways
To heaven my eyes I raise
And offer You all my praise)x2

(You are my comfort and my hope
I shall walk beside You for
All my days)x2

(When You are with me
All my troubles I forget
You wiped all fears and regrets
When You paid all of my debts)x2

(Your mercies engulf my life
Every day, unto You
My sights I set)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

When I Feel Worried- Paul Mankarious

O MARY

Lyrics:

One day You passed by me
You saw chains in my hands
And I saw with my eyes 
Tears for me in Your eyes

One day I passed by You
I saw my chains in Your hands
I’m free, because of You 
Then the tears filled my eyes 

“How much, Lord, did You pay
To set me free?”, I asked You
“A lot, except that, my son,
It’s not too much for you” (2)

One day by me You passed
About my freedom You asked
Feeling my slavery
Although in You I’m free

My troubles have bound me
Loving the vain world around me
I seek my place in it
That I’m Yours, I forget

Free yet, I am Your slave
Yours for all of my days 
Your slave and free I will live
To You, myself I give (2)

One Day You Passed By Me

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
