does anybody the text for the hymn called my coptic church

PrincessMary

My coptic church
The church of the Lord
Ancient and strong
I wish her long life
In the early years
After the birth of Christ
St. Mark came bearing
light of the true faith
He dwelt in the land
Proclaiming salvation
In the name of our redeemer
Christ who removed our sins

The Copts then believed
In the Lord Jesus
And joy filled all
The cities of Egypt
In a very, very short time
He abolished all idols
The cross was exalted
The sign of the faith
Satan quickly rose
To war the Son of God
He stirred the rulers,
Emperors and armies

He then declared war
On the sons of the faith
"deny your Christ
or be thrown in the fire"
our honored fathers,
elders and youngsters
Were not moved by pain
distress nor dishonor
but said courageously;
"Forward, no turning back
We dont fear fire
Our Lord is Jesus Christ"

They were beaten and imprisoned
They lived in opression
They were burned and killed
And tasted every pain
By the power of their faith
They overcame their pain
And remained believeing in
The king of peace
with blood and suffering
they bought the faith
and preserved it for us
in the name of our savior

let us all rise
from our laziness
with dilgence seeking
the heavenly reward
the church of our fathers
you are our pride
to her success
let us all join together
my Coptic church
her faith is orthodox
forever strong
Egypt is Christ's


...

hi people, recently, in our church we are translating some spiritual songs into dutch, (it sounds so cool 8)), so i was wondering if the songs: "Same7na ya fadeena", and "Wasat el ba7r el hayeg", and "entee el shafee3a" were translated into english, and if anybody could post the text, it would be such a great help, thnx in advance and God bless.

PrincessMary

Samehna Ya Fadeena/ Forgive Me My Redeemer

Forgive me my Redeemer
And bless me o Lord Jesus
My eyes are filled with tears
Pleading for forgiveness

You are the living God
Very soon you will come
You'll come and forgive us
And wipe away our tears

With all the world's temptations
We fall into tribulations
O strenghen us Lord Jesus
We are pleading O Lord

Lord, overlook our sins
Be gracious unto us
And place Your hands upon us
Please bless us one and all

We are Your hand's creation
Your servants and Your children
All sinners and believers
Lead us to still waters

O Lord, we are not worthy
Your gifts we're not deserving
Your love is overwhelming
In reverence we bow down

Our hearts You are seeking
And blessed is the one listening
With all his heart repenting
And with no turning back

PrincessMary

Hi Pooh,

Father God

1- Father God I wonder how I managed to exist without the knowledge.
Of your parenthood and your loving care.
But now I am your child I am adopted in your family.
And I will never be alone Cause Father God your there beside me.

2- (I will sing praises I will sing praises I will sing praises forevermore)(2x)


Our Lord, Our Lord

1- Our Lord, Our Lord
Come for us our Lord
Born in a manger like us
Because he truly loves us

R- He Loves all of us
He refeemed all our souls
Our Lord, Our Lord come for us our Lord

2- I am Glad, I am Glad
By birth O my Lord
Your birth in Bethlehem
A great joy in my soul

3- The virgin rejoiced
In the word of Gabriel
Our hearts are Happy
In the birth of Emmanuel

Shone was the wise men
Our hearts are candle
Lit for the Holy Lord
