Love Divine All Love Excelling

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:
Why have You slept, oh rising Son?
Laying dormant, as I run?
I bring to Your feet, 
The causes of my death,
And lay next to You, in Your glorious grave.

And as I shut my eyes,
You raised me above all these lies, 
That have consumed my head, 
Regarding Your holy death,
And I found the truth, in Your lovely Sunrise.

Chorus: And Michael stands before me,
At the mouth of the tomb,
“Why do you seek the Living 
Among the dead?” 
Swaddled in a manger 
Then swaddled in a grave,
He does not desire my death, 
My own sunrise, He has paved

From the outside of the tomb,
The wailing women’s voices did bloom,
But from inside Your grave,
Eternal life You gave,
And the prophets found, their Truth at last. 

The morning Light spilled into darkness, 
Conquering, triumphant, and victorious 
For we are not bound up, 
To Adam’s unrestrained hands,
But to the palms that were, nailed and bled Life. 

Chorus

I am as greedy as the grave,
To its consuming force I am slave,
Like death, unsatisfied,
But out of the rock in the wilderness, 
You have brought forth, the living water

In the garden, Adam plucks the fruit, 
And in the garden, Christ plucks the cup, 
And in the garden, 
The Gardener appears to me,
And He will cultivate, in me a paradise 

Chorus (x2)

Sunrise

Heb. 12:13, 2 Sam 13:4
Oh why am I parylized?
Daughter of a king but every day where is my strength?
Oh You wake me up with a goal to glorify You to serve Your name but I give nothing
But today, O Lord, I want to change. 
But today, let me be who You see in me.

Malachi 1:8, Heb. 13:15, Ps. 73:26
Lord I’m done with lame and blind 
I want to offer You a pure sacrifice, a true offering of praise
Lord today, give me a heart of strength 
to trample the enemy
Lord could this be me?

Matt. 12:11, Heb. 12:6
Today, I feel myself going astray
But Lord pick me up and place me in Your loving embrace
Today, teach me, even chasten me 
Lord anything, just let me hear what You have to say

1 Cor. 15:57, 2 Cor 6:2, Eph. 1:18
Cause today is the day of victory
Lord today and always You are mighty!
O Lord, show me the hope of Your call
Please Open the eyes of my heart
To see Your richness

Lord I want to be,
Lord, make me want to be
Everything You see in me
I want to be
Lord, I want to see
All the glory You want me to see
All the miracles, blessings for me, I want to see
Oh, and I want to believe in Your heavenly promise for me, 
In Your life giving mysteries, I want to receive
Lord, I want to be.

Haggai 1:14, Matt. 5:13-14, 2 Cor. 2:15
Dare I say, make me a giant, Lord make me a saint
Lord please bear with me and stir me to change
So I can glorify Your name
Lord make me a light, Oh make me salt
I want to be spreading Your beautiful aroma
For the world to see
For the world to know
The mighty God, who loves them and me
Lord, I wanna be

Have You Seen Him, the One I Love (St. Mark DC)

♱
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

In my father’s house I was living
In mercy and grace   	
Till I took my share of his wealth
To a distant place      	
(I left my family                           					
So I could be free)x2		
And pursue my own ways         				          	

I set off for a distant country
So far away
My life was wild and more wasteful
With every day 
(Satan deceived me
Attacked and beat me)x2
He threw me in the flames

I became slave to my many sins
And evil deeds
Trying to fill my desires
Paying no heed
(I wasted my fortune
With no thought or caution)x2
And found myself in need

After I had spent everything
I was in need
To those who saw me in those days
I was dead indeed 
(They forgot the old feasts
Days that had long ceased)x2
And left me to my misery

I asked one of the citizens
To have mercy on me
Give me the most despicable job
I will agree 
(He sent me to his field
The swine I had to feed)x2
Their food I longed to eat

I came to myself immediately
To repentance
Went back to my father to ask him
To forgive my sins
(And when he saw me
He ran towards me)x2
And called me beloved son

O sinner listen to me 
And my story
Repent, return to Your Father
In great hurry 
(You’ll find joy and peace
That will never cease)x2
In the shadow of His glory

In My Father's House (Song of the Prodigal Son)

His Sweet Voice - Erin Melek & Anthony Marcos feat. Father Suriel Costandi
Oud by Moura Raghib

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.

His Sweet Voice - Erin Melek & Anthony Marcos feat. Fr. Suriel Costandi

Teoi Enhekanos/Evol Hiten/Nim Ghar (English)

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

Many Years Have Passed By (سنين طويلة مضت)

(Open my eyes/
that I may see Wonders) x2
(from Your law) x4
(That I may see wonders) x2


(Your word I have hidden in my heart/
That I might not sin against You.) x2
‭￼(Your word I have hidden) x4
(That I might not sin against You) x2


(I am a stranger in the earth/ 
Do not hide Your commandments from me) x2
(Do not hide from me) x4
(Do not hide Your commandments from me) x2


(Your word is a lamp to my feet/ 
And a light to my path) x2
(A lamp to my feet) x4
