this is too beautiful 😭 i can’t 🤍

Beautiful ❤️❤️ love this song !!  🫶🏻

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

Teach me to Wait on You O Lord

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)

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

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

How Could I Forget (feat. Joseph Isaac)

1- Oh beloved, oh beloved; nailed unto the cross for me
O what sin hast Thou committed; Thou who callest all to be.
Oh beloved, wish that I could; spend the rest of life with Thee
Worshipping Thine holy passion, crucifying the flesh for Thee.

2- Daughter of Zion behold Me; stricken and smitten for Thee
Friend and kin, me have forsaken; there is none to comfort me.
All alone I'll tread the winepress, all alone I'll drink the cup
Shedding my blood for Thee to ransom, and my flesh for Thee to sup.

3- I was bound, and I was smitten, and they did spit in my face.
I was stripped, and I was scourged, I was condemned in your place.
Your sins became my crown of thorns; Oh that you would understand
Everytime you sin a new, it's one more nail in my hand.

4- Like a lamb brought to the slaughter, like a dumb sheep to be sheered.
King, Creator, Lord, and Master, by His creatures, mocked and jeered.
Despised, rejected, with grief acquainted, and of men was not esteemed.
Bruised and wounded, sore afflicted, yet, with His stripes we were healed.

5- Lord create in us a fountain; that with tears will ever flow.
And a heart contrite and broken, and the spirit within renew.
Oh that we could shed the tears over Thy feet pierced and bruised
Oh that we always remember, for our sins Thou wert abused.

O Beloved - Ft. Erin Melek

Verse 1:
(I pray to Him | and then His plans blow me away
He shuts a door | but opens a thousand other ways) x2 
For as soon as He sees my hands raised in prayer
With greatest love, His goodness overflows my way

I don’t understand His ways and I complain
And in trials I see Him far while in disdain 
He tells me that you must endure it joyfully
My hands are preparing a joy you shall obtain

Chorus:
(Providing | mercy to those awake through sleepless nights 
And sending | Grace to those lost, who struggle to fight) x2 
He comforts those who are worried and gives them might
He opens through deep sadness a window of light

All-loving, | those who’ve tasted Him know this well 
Surrounding | those who underneath his wings do dwell 
Yet He is patient with those who do go astray
And remains faithful even if all friends betray

Verse 2:
(I go to Him | casting my burdens at His feet 
And sleep assured | that all my fears, He will defeat) x2 
My least of worries is what tomorrow will bring
For the Lord’s plans suffice and my life He will lead  

Apple of his eye, he carries me in His mind 
And His presence fills me with peace beyond all kind
He told me He promised He’ll crown all my struggles
Though years have passed but tomorrow new light will shine 

Chorus:
(Providing | mercy to those awake through sleepless nights 
And sending | Grace to those lost, who struggle to fight) x2 
He comforts those who are worried and gives them might
He opens through deep sadness a window of light

All-loving, | those who’ve tasted Him know this well 
Surrounding | those who underneath his wings do dwell 
Yet He is patient with those who do go astray
And remains faithful even if all friends betray

I Pray To Him - اصليله - Translation

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?
