No Don’t Leave Me Alone - Emilie & Erin

Adam Psali For The Great Lent

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

Psali Watos for the Great Lent

Dear Precious Jesus

Lord Jesus, let me know myself and know You,
and desire nothing except You.

Let me hate myself and love You.
Let me do everything for the sake of You.
Let me humble myself and exalt You.
Let me think of nothing except You.
Let me die to myself and live in You.
Let me accept all that happens as from You.
Let me banish self and follow You, and ever desire to follow You.

Let me fly from myself and take refuge in You,
That I may always be defended by You.
Let me fear for myself.
Let me fear You, and let me be among those who are chosen by You.
Let me distrust myself and put my trust in You.
Let me be willing to obey for the sake of You.
Let me cling to nothing except You,
And let me be poor because of You.

Look upon me, that I may love You.
Call me that I may see You,
 and for ever enjoy You. Amen.

You - St. Augustine Prayer

Verse 1 - John 4:5-7
He came to a city of Samaria
Where Jacobs well stood
Jesus sat thus by the well, 
The heat of the sun was sure

Along came a woman of Samaria
In her thirst to draw water
“Give me a drink”
Jesus said to her

Chorus 1 - John 4:9-10
“How is it that you
Being a Jew
Ask a drink from me
A Samaritan woman?”

Jesus answered “if you knew
what is the gift of God for you
And who it is that you spoke to 
You would have asked Him
He would give you water that lives”

Verse 2 - John 4:11-12
The woman said to Him
“Sir you have nothing to draw with
Where then do you get that
Living water

Are you greater than 
our father Jacob
Who gave the well 
and drank from it himself”

Chorus 2 - John 4:13-14
Jesus said to her
“Whoever drinks from this will thirst
But whoever drinks of the water 
That I shall give him

He will never thirst
But the water that I shall give
Will become in him a fountain of
Water springing up 
Into everlasting life”

The Living Water

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

The Grape Vine - Erika and Erin (كان فى عنقود عنب)

Verse 1:

Saint Mary how can I describe you
You are the lady, of all virtue
Our advocate and our comfort
Dear Saint Mary, I love you

Saint Mary we thank you 
For you never cease
To entreat on our behalf
And give us joy and peace
O Mother of mercy
We thank you so much
For you teach us the true way to know the Lord our God

Refrain 1:

Oh Saint Mary you are more than a page in the Bible
You’re my Mother, pride and joy
The Mother of Christ our Lord,
God gave you the greatest honour to bear His Son
For you were more worthy than any other one

Verse 2:

O my dear Mother
Thank you for all you do
You watch over your children and the Lord hears you
We thank you for your love
And for remembering us
The ones who cost you the life of your Son

Refrain 2:

We thank you Saint Mary
For loving us
Despite the pain we caused you
While at the cross
You watched the death
Of your only Son
Your Lord, your God
And saw that it was the done
You saw the life giving work
Right in front of your eyes
And forgave us transgressors, and pray for us all the time
Saint Mary your humility surpasses minds
Your purity and virtue reached the greatest heights

Verse 3:

Oh Mama, Saint Mary
You are my pride and joy
And everywhere I walk, your example guides my life
You’re always in my heart, your love is on my mind
I thank you for interceding for me all the time

Refrain 3:

Saint Mary you are so humble and so kind
You accepted anything or any place with faith in mind
From Bethlehem to Egypt to Nazareth to the cross
Your surrender let your life be led by God

Verse 4:

How could one not adore you the Mother of God
Who chose you, adorned you, and through you we are taught
To love the gifts of God and ponder them in our hearts
To magnify Him and decrease our selfish thoughts

Refrain 4:

Saint Mary you are truly one of a kind
As a pure and holy vessel, you let God's goodness shine
God knew every single woman, from the beginning of time
Yet He deemed you the most worthy, you who paid yourself no mind

Verse 5:

The faith that you had in the Lord, as just a young girl
Your life belonged to God, from the day of your birth
By your meek and your pure heart, you magnified God
He let you be His Mother, and the Mother of us all

Refrain 5:

So unique from any person than this world has ever seen
The humble quiet temple girl, became the Queen
Saint Mary, you had no will of your own
This obedience and emptying let God fill you the most

Verse 6:

Oh my dear Saint Mary
Thank you for comforting me
Every time I’m lonely
And have no one with me
Your prayers strengthen me, in virtue, faith and peace
I always feel your presence with me

Refrain 6:

Oh Mary I thank you for all the little things
I cry unto you and you always hear me
You take care of your children
And send them precious gifts
Thank you for showing me all the love a mom can give

Saint Mary I thank you for caring for me
I wish I would call upon you more to ask for your mercies
But regardless of me, you exude humility
Your intercession and prayers on the last day will save me

My Dear Mother

1- With longing and desire and years of patience
With all conviction and faith
To the heavens we gaze and wait
To see You with our eyes.

Refrain
And the night is passing, the night has gone
And the day light is at hand
And our Bridegroom's come to take us
To our homes in the skies.

2- The days have passed, of our estrangement
And those days will never return
The signs have appeared, the trials disappeared
How lovely's that promised day

3- We arise and rejoice, at the trumpet's sound
The day our Christ meets us
Praising at all times, and proclaiming
Glory to You O Savior.

4- O our Lord, come, our Beloved, come
Our souls cry out for You
Fulfill Your pledge, show Your kindness
Your people wait for You.

The Night is Passing (George Beshara & Erin Melek)

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

Today

We are the ones who sinned, and you’re the one who suffered 
We are the ones who were indebted, 
and you were the one who paid our debts  
For our sake, you preferred suffering to comfort  

Toil to rest , Shame to glory  
And the cross to the throne  
You consented to be tied with ropes 
to release us from the bonds of our sins  

You humbled yourself to lift us up 
You hungered to feed us  
And thirsted to quench our thirst 
You went up on the cross naked to clothe us 
Your blood flowed to wash away our sins 
You died to grant us everlasting life 
 
My God, my sins are the thorns that plunged into your Holy head  
I saddened your heart by indulging in the worthless pleasures of the world 
What is this road leading to death which you walk O my Savior? 

What is that which you carry on your shoulders? 
It is the cross of shame that which you carry on my behalf 
How could this be my redeemer?  

What made you accept this?  
Could the great one be disgraced?  
Could the glorified one be humiliated?  
Could the most high be humbled?  
 O how great is your love! 

I thank you my Lord 
I am unable to give you thanks which match your love 
Greive O my soul for your sins have inflicted all this pain on our compassionate redeemer  
 
O my Savior let me cherish your suffering as my treasure 
Your crown of thorns as my glory 
Your pain as my joy 
Your myrrh as sweetness in my mouth  
Your blood as my life 
And your love as my honor and gratitude 
O the blood of Christ, purify all my sins  
O Jesus my beloved, revive me with 
the oil of your grace and affirm me in you

O Only Begotten Son

Refrain:
Watching us, hearing us, loving us
She could never possibly forget us
She´s St Mary mother of Jesus who saved us
We´re her children, and she´s always guiding us.

Verse 1:
She’s in heaven in her glory
The pride of all our saints (2)
Constantly, she’s interceding
With the saints on our behalf.

Verse 2:
She’s in heaven but she appears
To her children everywhere (2)
Spreading on earth love and peace
And preserving faith for all.

Verse 3:
She’s in heaven but she sees
When her children are in tears (2)
Mettias was handcuffed in jail
But she came and broke the chains.

Verse 4:
She’s in heaven but she hears
The pleading of a great Pope (2)
Anba Abraam come out and meet
The faith that moved the mountain.

Verse 5:
She’s in heaven but she leaves
Many miracles where she appears (2)
In the church she comes and shares
With faith we witness her care

Watching Us (Coptic Song for St Mary)

Artwork by: George Makary - Coptic Icons

Lyrics:

Lord Make me present like You
How often I underestimate that virtue
How often am I distracted, constantly rushing 
through the little you entrusted me to
This day you gave me as new; You wanted me to rejoice in it with You
Instead, I anxiously run from service, from prayer, and further away from You


O Lord, Im often deceived, why so I think the whole world depends on me?
 “If I don’t give it my best, If I’m not there on time, it will be a catastrophe”, 
Lord show me my littleness, before You, Omnipotent One who upholds all life,
Oh My Lord Jesus Christ; Ever-Present Being, the Lover of Mankind; 

What mystery is it to us that You hold up the universe - yet with everyone
You made them feel like the only one there in the world, You saw what no one else did,
Lord when they looked in your eyes,
They saw the face of love and they were stopped in time.

O Lord how can I witness? The fruit of Your Spirit is not evident inside me
How can I be loving when I’m not patient nor kind, not gentle; without mercy 
Lord I want to look like You; my Father, Role Model, Please Lord, make me anew! 
You promised to take on tomorrow, why can’t I be vulnerable and give you control?

I can’t seem to want to be anywhere you place me
Lord help me to stop closing my eyes to your presence and blessings in each precious moment;
Which you have prepared from the foundation of time, that I may walk in it
But Lord I’m often decieved: Always saying yesterday was lighter, tomorrow will be brighter, but Lord, teach me in the present to find You
Always saying, yesterday was lighter, tomorrow will be brighter, but Lord, teach me in the present to find you
Always saying, yesterday was lighter, tomorrow will be brighter, but Lord of Love make me present to find You

----------------------------

I wrote this song in a period of my life where I really struggled with despondency and busyness. Until now, I really struggle to find the beauty of Christ's presence in each moment I live.
This song came through being genuinely baffled by the paradoxical mystery of our beautiful Lord Jesus who can oversee the entire cosmos for all of eternity, but is simultaneously, infinitely present and poured-out for His creation in each moment. This song is a prayer for deeper communion with Christ and the world around me and for a more true experience of Him in the days He has given me.

Please keep me in your prayers, I hope this song can become a prayer for you too!

How Could I Forget (feat. Joseph Isaac)

O Good Teacher what may I do
To have eternal life with You
For from my youth I’ve done all that You’ve asked

And Christ filled with love in His eyes
Truly wanted to save his life
Said son, since you ask
One thing you lack
One thing you lack

If you wish to be perfect
Sell all you have and follow Me
And you will have abundance, see!
My word I will keep.

But how can I let my wealth go?
What a cost to be Your disciple
And who will I be then? 
I cannot follow at this expense
At this expense
---------------------------
How hard is it my dearest friends
To gain heaven with our own richness
For what do we possess 
But that which is from His own Hand?

We try to save our lives, but lose our souls
The one thing that our Saviour calls
To deny all, take up your Cross
And Follow with all your hearts

For he who loses his own life
Will gain it back a hundred times
Both in this life and in the age to come,
What a great sum

For what more can a man desire
Then to see God’s glorious will transpire 
For who is more faithful than our Lord?

I Cannot Come to the Banquet (Erin & Erika Melek)

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Lord, please open my eyes
I want to see Your light
Please don't let me wander far
With my lips I lift Your name on high
But my heart is far from Your love

Pre-Chorus
Have compassion, Lord of Mercy
Who opened eyes of the blind
The Publican and the adulterous
You covered and changed their mind

Chorus 1
Lord of Love, whose ways are above us
Purify my heart and my mind to see 
Your glory manifest in this time
You're working mighty things
You redeemed creation so we might
return to Your glorious image

Verse 2
Before my days even began
With care You made a plan
Of how my spirit ought to grow
Giving thanks in all circumstances
You sought the cross and grace overflowed, so…


Pre-Chorus 2
Teach Your children in Your wisdom
To see what You made us for
All the choruses of Heaven
Wait for us to return home

Chorus 2
So Lord of Love, whose heart is immeasurable
Hear my knock and say, "Come in, My beloved one"
That we may be renewed in Your love
And we may overcome
In Your name, O Lord, Victorious One
The Lord of Hosts

Lord of Love, make a home within us
That we may offer ourselves as Your living gospel
That all hearts would fall before Your love
Returning to their Maker
That we may become one in Your blood
On earth and in Heaven

Lord of Love
