Lyrics: 
Verse 1: 
In time of weakness, I see You heal me, from misery
And in my grievance, You are a friend to me, So comforting
And so I sing, my heart I bring, surrendering

Chorus: 
I do not live for me
Not my own luxury
My life always belongs to Thee
O Lord, I’m in need
Please, will to help me
Guide me and be my Remedy

Verse 2: 
Lord I’m returning, please wipe away my tears, and mourn with me 
For You I’m yearning, my Lord Jesus, please comfort me 
And so I sing, my heart I bring 
Surrendering 

Verse 3: 
My path is known to You, plans of prosperity and plans of hope 
So I lift my heart to You, accept me for I am Yours, O my Lord
And so I sing, my heart I bring, surrendering

(Chorus)
In the shade of your protection
We take refuge O Mary
Don’t turn our prayer away
Whenever we call you

(Verse 1)
O the pride of the human race
The best of people are you
O you river of gifts
That flows into the world

(Verse 2)
O you gate of heaven 
Mother of our Redeemer
O you are our hope
And the sweetest name we call

(Verse 3)
Intercede for your people
Pray at all times
We are asking your Son
Pleading as children*

(Verse 4) – (*Personal addition from the 11th part of the Sunday Theotokia's ☺️)
You are brighter than the sun
And more sparkling
Than the cherubim
And the seraphim

In the Shade of your Protection (فى ظل حمايتك) - ft. André Ghobrial on Oud

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)

Forgive Me, My Redeemer (feat. The Ten Strings)

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

It Comes From Him - Psalm 121 (Original Song)

Refrain:
O my Master how cruel was the shameful death of the cross
before it carried You, You carried it
O righteous One

1) You asked for water, You tasted vinegar
and all bitterness,
Your blood flowed from Your body,
to save all sinners

2) Upon the cross, O my Beloved
You suffered much pain
by those who caused Your suffering
yet You forgave their sins

3) All this my Lord,
to bring me back
in Your protection, I’ll live with You
and You will comfort me

4) Oh that my heart, may treasure You
so that I may attain You
and live sincerely
in submission to You

O My Master | يا سيدي كم كان قاسياً

His Banner Over Me Is Love

Refrain:
I have need of You 
O Lord of powers
You stretch out Your right hand
And perform wonders

Refrain

You know all my worries
Before I cry to You
No matter how dreadful
Nothings too hard for You

Refrain

The lions are hungry
Send forth Your angel
The king in fear will know
You save the faithful 

Refrain

I go down in the furnace
The fire burns with rage
With Your gracious hand You
Pull me out unscathed 

Refrain

Physicians have no cure
They are confused
Your healing hand will show
There is no one like You

Refrain

The seas waves are fearful
I am in jeopardy
Your power and might will
Shortly rescue me

Refrain

You are the manna
In times of hunger
The water from the rock
Flows to cure all thirst

Refrain

I Have Need of You (انا عايزك انتا)
