(If My own mother forgets me,
My Lord's embrace is enough for me) x2
Precious in His eyes is the smallest baby
So how can He forget me?
Refrain:
(So how can He forget me?) x2
If the mother forgets her baby,
My Lord will never forget me
(Treasured in His eyes is every tear,
Persistent is He to erase my fears) x2
To my soul, His love is always near
So how can He forget me?
Refrain
(Of the smallest bird, the Lord takes care
For the Lillies, clothing He prepares) x2
Precious in His eyes is every single hair
So how can He forget me?
Refrain
(For me the thorns you accepted
Not a single pain, have you rejected) x2
Beloved Jesus has never neglected
How then can He forget me?

If The Mother Forgets (إن أنسى)

Fr Mina Ibrahim Ayad Gerges - O Good Mother
The Second Scasis, Prayer Excerpt 88, page 146 in St Ephraim the Syrian's Spiritual Psalter excerpted by Bishop Theophan the Recluse

Lyrics:

O Good Mother of the all Good God
Look upon me with your merciful eye

(O Good Mother of the all Good God) x2
(Look upon me with your merciful eye) x2

Grant me repentance and a faithful mind
Grant me chaste reason and humble thinking

Grant me a sober soul and spiritual peace
that the Lord granted to His disciples

Disperse the clouds of my sorrow
Clear the confusion of my thoughts

Enlarge my heart with joy and gladness
that I may walk the path of your Son's commandments

Be my companion and guide as I pass through this life
with a pure conscience and without doubt

Stand beside your servant as I offer prayer
to the honor and glory of your Son and Lord

O Good Mother - A Prayer Of St Ephraim The Syrian (Live 20 August 2021)

Have You Seen Him

Lord, Lord

I feel like I’m here alone
And I wonder if you’re beside me
Everyday’s an uphill road
And this mountain surely reminds me
It’s been hard
Though you’re here, I feel alone

Lord, Lord

Place my soul into your hands
Lead me to the path of righteousness
Let your sun shine on my face
And remind me of your grace
It’s still hard
But I know, I’m not alone

Lord, Lord

Please don’t leave me here alone
Please don’t leave me here alone

Not Alone

Verse 1:
You're my Protector
From all that is evil
You hold me by the right hand
My heart with You rejoices

أنت اللى بتحمينى
من كل الشرور
ماسك بيمينى
قلبى معاك مسرور

Refrain:
You're the true Shepherd
You carry me on Your shoulders
You take me to green pastures
Your love is overwhelming

أنت الرب الراعى
على كتفك شايلنى
بتاخدنى المراعى
وبحبك غامرنى
وبحبك غامرنى

Verse 2:
You're always with me
You will never leave me
Your voice is within me
"Do not fear, My Child"

انت اللى معايا
ولا يمكن تسيبنى
وصوتك جوايا
متخافشى يا أبنى

Refrain

Verse 3:
You will elevate me
In the midst of my suffering
You strengthen my weakness
You are my true fortress

انت اللى بترفعنى
فى وسط الآمى
فى ضعفى تشجعنى
يا مصدر سلامى

Refrain

Verse 4:
You will support me 
in times of tribulation
Your hand guides me 
doing good for me

انت اللى بتسدنى
فى الظرف المرير
أيدك بتشكلنى
وبتعمل للخير

Refrain

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

Hold my hand o lord

O Thou whose presence delighteth my soul
And whom in my distress I call
My comfort by day and my refuge by night
My stronghold whenever I fall.

Shepherd of my soul I beg Thee to tell
Where thou keepest thy sheep to rest
For why should I roam in the valley of tears
And wander as one who is lost.

I ask thee to tell me, daughters of Zion,
Have ye seen the One I adore
I seek him in vain in the night of my soul
But lo I can find Him no more.

Shepherd of my soul I shall follow Thee
O how sweet Thy voice is to me
So guide me and lead me and show me the way
My only desire is Thee.

I am my beloved's and He is mine
He calleth me sister and spouse
O how do I long for the day we shall wed
In heaven in His Father's house.

Shepherd Of My Soul - Live (St. Mark DC High School Spring Retreat)

Refrain:
(I’ll cast all my cares on you,
and on your word I’ll cast my net
all my life is in your hands
who's hands but yours give me blessing)x2 

(I surrender all my life
and trust in your will for me
even with my sinful heart
I know you won’t let me down)x2

Refrain

(Im assured that you’re with me
certain in your plans for me
in weakness you are my shield
lifting me through the valley)x2

Refrain

(My heart cries out and calls to you
To always dwell within me
If I betrayed you before
Still bless all my years to come)x2

Lord, Let Me Lyrics 

Lord as I read the psalms 
Let me hear You singing 
As I read Your words 
Let me hear You speaking

As I reflect on each page
Let me see Your image
As I seek to put Your precepts into practice
Let my heart be filled with joy 
Let my heart be filled with all joy
 
Lord as I serve the poor 
Reveal Your humility
As I love the outcast
Let me meet Your tender eyes

As I kneel before You
Let me feel Your smile
As I pursue virtue, repentance, and solitude
Let me find You every day
Let me find You every single day

Lord, Let Me - Prayer of St. Gregory of Nazianzus

Excerpts from a prayer book, “When Will I Bear the Heavenly One in My Heart, Oh My Mother?” by Fr. Tadros Yacoub Malaty 

(Tell me, oh my mother,
What virtue should I have? 
I long to live like you
What have I to do?)

Be a field for the divine / oh my child 
Come pray with me as I say / oh my child 
Behold I am yours / let it be as you will 
So that you may bear Him / and be a member in Him 
Hear me, oh my child / I am your mother 

Feel the presence of the Lord / in private prayer 
Silent prayer will edify / you oh my child 
Teaching you to utter / the heavenly language 
Be considered as those / standing in the heavens 
Hear me, oh my child, I am your mother 

Cling to the Bridegroom / be a wise virgin
Hold fast to the Lord / that you may walk His way
That you may have purity / of heart and soul 
You’ll be ready for the wedding / through the Holy Spirit 
Hear me, oh my child / I am your mother 

Accept suffering / for the comfort of other 
Taste the sacrificial love / as of a mother
So that Christ may be seen / in you to all mankind 
You will find sweetness / to be crucified like him
Hear me, oh my child / I am your mother 

Let joy fill your heart / oh my child
The crucified One will turn your pain / into comfort 
Through the cross your heart / will be lifted above 
Where sorrow has no / power over you 
Hear me, oh my child / I am your mother 

The crown of righteousness is Jesus / oh my child 
When He dwells in you / the heavenly path is set for you 
So that by Him / you will continue fervently 
And in Him you will / be confirmed eternally 
Hear me, oh my child / I am your mother

Tell Me O My Mother (Live 16 August 2023)

Capo 5

Em  Am  D
No eye has seen another God like You
Am  Em
Who opens the jails and shatters the chains (2x)

Who parts the sea and behold there’s a path
Em  Am  D  Am  C  Em
No mountains or barriers get in His way

No eye has seen another God like You  (2x)

Who else but You could appear in the flames
Or rescue a soul from the lions’ den  (2x)
Who lights the way when the darkness comes
With a blaze of love in a pillar of fire


Who else but You went to Calvary
Who else paid my debts, carried my iniquity  (2x)
and You promised me You’re coming very soon
To take me to heaven for eternity

I Love My Beloved Lord (Lyrics)

(I love my beloved Lord, not to gain paradise
Nor because I want to be saved from hell’s fire)2

(But I love Him because, because He loved me on the tree
Out of His great love, He bled so I go free)2

(For me He came and became, a humiliated slave
Spit on, beaten, wiped, exposed to, shame all for my sake)2

(The King of kings willingly, lived as a poor peasant
So He could save even the ones, who went and crucified Him)2

(Could I after knowing all, He suffered on my, behalf
Worship because of paradise or fear of torment)2

(I worship Him since my heart, is wounded by His love
No one in my life except, my Love who fills my heart)2

I Love My Beloved Lord

Hold my hand, O Lord,
Like You held Peter's hand.
When he started to drown,
You gently held his hand.

[Lifted him over the waves
And made him feel safe.] (2)
[And me too, O Lord,
hold my hand.] (2)

The waves are strong for me;
Makes my heart tremble,
And the winds, O Lord, are strong.
I´m not able to stand.

[When the ship goes up and down,
And rocks are in the way,] (2)
[Tell the waves to be calm,
And hold me in you arms.] (2)

Enter my ship o lord 
And also in my life
Cast my fear away
And heal all my pain

[And dwell in my heart
And fill it with your peace] (2)
[Never leave me alone
To walk in my path] (2)

My faith o lord is weak
Strengthen my faith 
And If I ever doubt you
Or get lost in the way

[Bring me back to live
With you all my life] (2)
[You are my father lord
Your heart is full of love] (2)

Hold My Hand, O Lord

His Sweet Voice - Erin Melek & Anthony Marcos feat. Father Suriel Costandi
Oud by Moura Raghib

Once I wandered so far away
from my Good Savior Jesus.
He came to me, He who saved me,
and called for me to return.

Refrain: 
His sweet voice did call me, call me:
“Prolong not thy straying away.
O dear child, return quickly, 
and come to Me, come to Me!”

Cruel thorns left my feet to bleed out,
wounds and agony unparalleled.
I heard the Voice call out to me,
“Thou art in error, return.”

Never did I ever care to 
heed to Him, nor to His words.
Therefore I walked away with His
warnings of pain in contempt.

My path grew ever more treacherous,
menacing darkness has prevailed.
I cried in my profound anguish:
“Where is Thy delightful Face?”

My grief has exceeded limits
due to my straying away. 
Desolated, I requested: 
“O my Savior! Come to me!”

Straightaway, a light shone brightly,
O how radiant it was!
My tender Redeemer with a
smile appeared to my aid.
