Sung during Lent Tasbhea (Midnight praises)

Lenten Tenoweh Ensok - Cantor Tharwat with Choir

In his first letter to the Corinthians, St. Paul writes, “Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” (1 Cor. 5:8). St. John Chrysostom comments on this, saying that St. Paul ìdesires for us to celebrate the Cross because “Christ is the Passover and has been sacrificed for us” (1 Cor. 5:7). The Cross is the altar on which the Son was sacrificed for the forgiveness of sins. This is the sacrifice whose aroma the Father has accepted on behalf of humanity. The sins of humanity have indeed been forgiven through the sacrifice of the Cross.
As for the rite of the Feasts of the Cross, the prayers are all chanted in the Palm Sunday (Sha’aniny) and the joyful tunes. “Avashk” is used when applicable, including Sunday Liturgies. During the Vespers and Prime Raising of Incense, the Verses of the Cymbals are chanted in the joyful tune, and the verses specifically for the Feast of the Cross are chanted immediately after the Adam or Watos Introductions.

Lesmak ya Fadina | لاسمك يا فادينا

Onishtee by Ibrahim Atalla

Written in the perspective of Lazarus' sister.

Lyrics: 
Verse 1:
Sitting in the midst of loudness
Confusion starts to fill the room 
Prayers prayed are counltess
There's not much else you can do

Prechorus:
And you take all broken hearted pleas 
You take all pieces and set us free

Chorus:
And I could not imagine all the hurting you were feeling
And I could not imagine all the sorrow inside your heart
If He were here sooner thoughts running inside your head
In a moment of despair He looked at you saying he will rise again

Verse 2:
Come and see the one you love 
Hes laying in the tomb
But you are the one we trust
When grief starts to consume

Prechorus:
And you take all broken hearted pleas 
You take all pieces and set us free

Chorus:
And I could not imagine all the hurting you were feeling
And I could not imagine all the sorrow inside your heart
If He were here sooner thoughts running inside your head
In a moment of despair He looked at you saying he will rise again

Bridge:
He will rise again
He will rise again
Lazarus rise up he said, rise up agiain today 
And Lazarus come out to me, following this way
Move that stone and he will come to me, my dear dear friend 
Believe in me, and you will live even when you die

Chorus:
And I could not imagine all the hurting you were feeling
And I could not imagine all the sorrow inside your heart
If He were here sooner thoughts running inside your head
In a moment of despair He looked at you saying he will rise again

You take all broken hearted pleas
