No Eye Has Seen Another God Like You-Joe Seif

Lyrics:

How could I forget the One who died for me?
How could I forget the side that had to bleed? (2)

He who saw me in my misery, so He came running to me
He who bought me and redeemed me broke my chains and set me free (2)

How could I forget your kindness through the years?
Your right hand always reaching out to me. (2)

In my joys and in my sorrows, in all of life's storms
You've become my friend and fortress, You're the One to whom I call (2)

Help me Lord I want to lose myself in You;
All my pride has blinded me from seeing You. (2)

So I'll keep watching and praying, setting my eyes on You 
Trusting in your sure promise, that You'll be back for me soon (2)

Lyrics:

How lovely it is to get together
In love our Lord teaches us
When two meet in My name together
I'll always be in between their gather
  
Refrain
Oh Lord come now and join us here
We ask You to come and give us cheer
Fill us with joy from Your Holy Spirit
And peace, no riches can provide

The Lord is here always with us
How lovely He is, how content we are
We talk to Him and He always listens
He'll always be with us, in us

How Lovely

You are a model of purity
A pillar of virginity 
The mother of the merciful
Oh mother of the mighty Lord

Refrain
Our mother the virgin 
The compassionate 
The beloved of us all 
Our helper when we call

You bore the beloved Lord 
Who redeemed us with His cross 
Intercede before the Lord 
As we offer him our tears 

Refrain 

We see the Virgin our Mother
the beloved queen of our hearts
Always interceding for us
Lifting our prayers to the Lord

Refrain

You have performed miracles
Comforted us in trials
Joy to the broken you gave
And the afflicted you save

Refrain 

My queen and the help of mankind
You have enlightened my mind
Our hearts please guide them
Remember us in heaven

Refrain

Our Mother The Virgin (El 3adra Omena)

Lyrics:

Oh Thou in Whose presence delighteth my soul,
And Whom in my distress I call,
My comfort by day and my refuge by night,
My stronghold whenever I fall.

Shepherd of my soul I beg Thee to tell,
Where Thou keepest Thy sheep to rest,
For why should I roam in the valley of tears,
And wander as one who is lost?

I ask thee to tell me daughters of Zion:
Have ye seen the One I adore?
I seek Him in vain in the
night of my soul,
But lo, I can find Him no more.

I am my Beloved's and He is mine,
He calleth me sister and spouse,
Oh, how do I long for the day we shall wed,
In heaven in His Father's house.

Shepherd of my soul
I shall follow Thee,
Oh, how sweet Thy voice is to me!
So guide me and lead me and show me the way,
My only desire is Thee.

O Mary

Atai Parthenos (Snippet) at St. George

“O Beloved” recalls the salvation we have been granted by our Lord Jesus Christ. He suffered, was ridiculed, condemned, smitten, abused, and was crucified before rising from the dead, effectively raising us from our death in sin. The path of suffering is the same path that led to triumphant glory. We live in His resurrection, so now when we share in His sufferings, when we struggle against evil, when we sacrifice ourselves for the love and salvation of the world, we are also active and faithful participants in His glorious resurrection!

O Beloved

My Coptic Church

Lyrics:

I love you Lord, in my solitude
You call to my heart with deep words
I love you Lord, in my tribulation 
In my time of need, in my time of pain (whole verse 2x)

I love you Lord, in my repentance 
In times of tears, in times of regret
I love you Lord, in times of prosperity 
And also love you in times of scarcity (last line 2x)

I love you if you build a palace for me
And also love you if it is destroyed (3x)

I love when your heart heals my wounds
And I rejoice greatly
I love when your spirit hovers around me 
Offering my soul the greatest grace (whole verse 2x)

Offering my soul the greatest grace (3x)

I Love You, Lord- Poem by Pope Shenouda III

O Beloved (Feat: Christina Maurice, Mark Botros)

Lyrics:

Hear my cry I pray to thee
And to my voice incline Your ear
Hold me and have mercy upon me (2x)
For You Oh Lord I'm in great need (2x)
	
My soul is troubled in the deep
And my eyes are full of tears
Now I remember you indeed (2x)
For your salvation is near (2x)

All the waves came upon me
I was drowned in the deep sea
I asked for help. Where could it be? (2x)
But in the hands of my dear Lord (2x)

My heart is trembling in great fear
And my head is wrapped in weeds
Out of the depths I cried to Thee (2x)
Save my soul and set me free (2x)

God ordered the whale in the sea
To safely drop Jonah in peace
In the whale's belly Jonah kneels (2x)
And thank the Lord for his great deeds (2x)

تسبحة كيهك - الأنبا يوأنس أسقف أسيوط وتوابعها

09 مديح يا م ر ي م

The glorious mystery of the burning bush: the Fire of Divinity descended upon our Mother St. Mary and did not touch her Virginity but did touch her soul; the fire of the trials and tribulations of the wilderness did not touch the Israelites' well-being but did touch their prideful hearts; the fire of the Holy Spirit does not consume our weak humanity but does consume our lives, transforming them into a precious aroma to the Lord and to all those we encounter. May we always carry the flame of Love in our hearts, minds, and bodies and take it with us to the ends of earth.

Your Love Oh Mary

يا أم الله فيروز

In commemoration of our beloved Pope Shenouda III, this song was written to honor the great impact he had on all of our lives. His book “Have You Seen the One I Love?” describes a beautiful relationship with God that is based on sincere Love and wholehearted devotion. The beginning of the song describes how this relationship of Love with Christ was manifest in the lives of three women: The Shulamite, St. Photini (the Woman at the Well) and the Woman with the alabaster box. The second half of the song describes how Pope Shenouda’s love for his flock affected us deeply and taught us, by
example, to search with all our hearts, all our minds and all our souls for the One we love. We still feel his love and prayers today and hope that each of us can live the life of love and holiness that he embodied.
