In the midst of the raging sea,
There I was sailing.
The waves were pounding me,
Making me afraid.
(And it seems That Christ has left me,) x2
(But I no longer see him because of my weak faith) x2

Refrain:
Jesus when he saw me,
Came to me quickly.
In my despair and darkness,
He opened my eyes.
(When I saw him, I cried have mercy) x2
(He came to me quickly and had mercy on me) x2

The sounds of the angry waves,
Agonized my ears.
Darkness of the creeping night,
Has threatened my peace.
(And the tears, have not left my eyes)x2
(And the sleepless nights, have overwhelmed me) x2

I was in despair and drowning,
And my hope is torn.
I came to my beloved Jesus,
Offering him my tears.
(When he saw me, He had compassion on me) x2
(He stretched out his sweet hand, and dried my tears) x2

In the Midst of the Raging Sea

Chorus:
The Lord is near to those who call on Him
He is not far as we have made Him 		
He’s not a stranger to all our sufferings
He said “come now hurry all you weary”
To give them rest from burdens too heavy  
To wipe a tear from all hearts in misery

V1:
Sojourner and no place to stay
Abandoned, doubted and friends betrayed 	
Yet He arose to grant the way 
to eternity
A friend to the tax collectors, 
A comfort for the adulterers,
An advocate for the sinners 
Of whom I am chief

V2:
He guided all those questioning, 
goodness on earth He was spreading, 	
He tasted death while bearing 
The shame of sinners 
His night of death, prayed earnestly
Father willing, take this from Me
Sweat drops of blood from agony
All for my sake

V3: 
When I was thirsty He quenched me 
When I was naked He clothed me
When abandoned He sheltered me 
From all my fears 				
So how can I not be trusting
His love I'll never be doubting 
A Father who is so loving 
Even to death

You’re the True Shepherd -- St. Mark DC Youth Live

Prayer Before the Setting of the Sun
St. Gregory of Nazianzus.
Hymn 2.1.25. 

Lyrics:

Word of God
and Truth itself, 
I gave this day to you; 
But now night has fallen. 
my lamp is barely bright;
This I prayed over
But even so my feet 
still stumbled, 
darkness fell around me,
That hater of salvation. 
Oh, Christ! Relight my lamp, 
And shine on me once more.

Shine on Me

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

Ana Damen Feek A7lamy/Ana Gailak Alby Zaleel أنا جايلك قلبي ذليل/ أنا ضامن فيك أحلامي

Original Song based on Psalm 121.

Lyrics:

Chorus:
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from? It comes from Him
He made the heaven, earth and what’s within
God guards my going out and coming in
 
Verse 1:
He watched over Israel and He will watch over me
My God will not slumber, indeed, He doesn’t sleep
He’s the shade at my right hand, the sun can’t hurt by day
and the moon at night, can’t harm me in any way

Chorus:
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from? It comes from Him
He made the heaven, earth and what’s within
God guards my going out and coming in

Verse 2:
I have heard Your promises and believe they’re set in stone
but I forget I’m your daughter and You’re King on the throne
Sing my soul to the Lord of Hosts, Trust in the Most High
Through the hills and the valleys, in Him my hope lies

Chorus:
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from? It comes from Him
He made the heaven, earth and what’s within
God guards my going out and coming in

*Icon by George Makary

It Comes From Him - Psalm 121 (Original Song)

Lyrics:
(How could I forget, the One who died for me
How could I forget His side that had to bleed) x2
(He who saw me in my misery so He came running to meet me
He who bought me and redeemed me broke my chains and set me free) x 2

(How could I forget your kindness through the years
Your right hand always reaching out to me) x 2
(In my joys and in my sorrows, in all of life's storms
You've become my friend and fortress, You are the One to whom I call) x2

(Help me Lord I want to lose myself in You
All my pride has blinded me from seeing You) x2
(So I'll keep watching and praying setting my eyes on You
Trusting in your sure promises that You will be there for me soon) x2
