Return to Me
A song about the Prodigal Son

the son said, “father i must go,
i wish not to stay here you know,
the world has much I want to see,
I hope that you will not stop me.
I see riches, I see gold
I see goods that I uphold
though it hurts to see you cry
I must bid you this last goodbye”

the father looked down lovingly
saying, “if you walk away from me
i will miss you with all of my heart
but even if you do depart
i will be waiting for you here
no matter if it takes you years
you are my son until the end
and I pray i will see you again”

the son left from his father’s place
with a smile on his face
ready to be free and grow
oh but little did he know
the world of pleasures has a cost
beware your soul may be lost
if you consume these earthly things 
and forget the joy your father brings 

the father looked out lovingly				
saying, “though you walked away from me
i miss you with all of my heart
but even though you did depart
I am waiting for you here
no matter if it takes you years
you are my son until the end
And I pray I will see you again”

the son quickly consumed his wealth
lost his food and lost his health
all his friends had left his side
so now he had to decide
should he live in misery,
watching pigs roam happily,
or return to his father’s place
to serve him for the rest of his days

the father looked out lovingly,
saying “son you have returned to me,
I have waited all this time
praying for you to be mine
let us kill the fattened calf
So we can sing and dance and laugh
to celebrate my son who died
who now has been brought back to life”

Resurrection Psali - Abouna Domadious

I Place My Soul Into Your Hands

Have you seen Him?
The One I love
Have you seen Him
The Holy Man

Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice
Have you heard Him?
The great I AM

I am dark but 
I am lovely
Among the thorns, I am 
His rose and lily

His banner over me 
Is love and grace
And nothing gives me joy 
like His tender face

Have you seen Him?
The One I love
Have you seen Him
The Holy Man

Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice
Have you heard Him?
The great I AM

I was wounded 
Broken and empty
But His Spirit 
Rushed in and filled me

I was waiting 
For life and healing
But His sweet eyes alone 
Restored my feeling

Have you seen Him?
The One I love
Have you seen Him
The Holy Man

Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice
Have you heard Him?
The great I AM

The oil I poured on Him 
Could not consume
His sweet aroma 
It filled the room

Come and meet Him 
Sit at His feet
Drink in His beauty 
It set me free

Have you seen Him?
The One I love
Have you seen Him
The Holy Man

Have you heard Him?
His gentle voice
Have you heard Him?
The great I AM

Have You Seen Him (Softer) — St Mark DC

God Who Is Always With Us (Live)

on the other side of this.

This is originally a Byzantine hymn which is used currently during the distribution of the Holy Mysteries during every liturgy. In the Coptic Church, the Alexandrian tradition is to chant this hymn on Holy Thursday, the day we commemorate our Lord's establishment of this sacrament.

"Receive me today, Son of God, as a partaker of Your mystical Supper. I will not reveal Your mystery to Your adversaries. Nor will I give You a kiss as did Judas. But as the thief I confess to You: "Remember me O Lord in your kingdom." http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/view/1511

Smorgasbord NJIT Performance - Coptic Society

You're my protector
From all that is evil
You hold me by the right hand
My heart with You rejoices 

(R) You're the true Shepherd 
You carry me on Your shoulders
You take me to green pastures
Your love is overwhelming

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

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

You will support me
In times of tribulations
Your hand guides me
Doing good for me
