Feast of St. Matthew the Evangelist
October 9th, Sawwaf Calendar
The lyrics of this hymn, Matta, by touch our hands choir team.
"Suddenly, I became attached to Him, And my confidence returned to me once again. I saw myself beautiful in His eyes When He came that day and called me.
He came gesturing from afar, I saw a hand extended towards me. Maybe He is the only one Who truly felt what I was going through at that moment.
I am Matthew, the tax collector. I am the person who suddenly chose Jesus, to complete the journey, And to live the rest of my life for Him.
I am Matthew, Levi the tax collector. I am the person who suddenly chose Jesus, to complete the journey, And to live the rest of my life for Him.
I am Levi from Capernaum, I am among the sinners and the rejected, Who faced a thousand blamings, Yet Jesus is always a helper.
My heart trembled and was confused When I saw Him coming for me. Jesus cast His net for me, In the middle of Galilee He came to me and called me.
There is nothing like His beauty and calm, I have never seen anyone with such grace and kindness. I haven't forgotten standing before Him, His tenderness... His heart, and His longing.
I am Matthew, the tax collector. I am the person who suddenly chose Jesus, to complete the journey, And to live the rest of my life for Him."
عيد الشهيد مَتَّى الرسول
٩ أكتوبر - تقويم الصوَّاف
فجأة كدا اتعلقت بيه
وثقتي رجعت ليا تاني
وشوفتني حلو فـ عنيه
لما يومها جه ونداني
جاي يشاور من بعيد
شوفت ايد ممدودة ليا
يمكن يكون هو الوحيد
اللي حس ساعتها بيا
انا متى انا العشّار
انا الشخص اللي فجأة اختار
يسوع ويكمل المشوار
ويعيش العُمر علشانه
انا متى لاوي العشّار
انا الشخص اللي فجأة اختار
يسوع ويكمل المشوار
ويعيش العُمر علشانه
انا لاوي من كفر ناحوم
انا م الخطاه والمرفوضين
اللي واجهوا ألف لوم
لكن يسوع دايما مُعين
اتهز قلبي وارتبك
لما شوفته جاي عشاني
يسوع رمى ليا الشبك
وسط الجليل جالي ودعاني
مافيش في جماله وهدوءه
ماشوفتش حد انا فـ ذوقه
مش ناسي الوقفه قدامه
حنيته.. وقلبه وشوقه
انا متى انا العشّار
انا الشخص اللي فجأة اختار
يسوع ويكمل المشوار
ويعيش العمر علشانه
