Ya Rabbo Ma Ahla El Hayat Qorbaka (O Lord, How Sweet is Life Near You)

Draw near to God and He will

draw near to you.—James the Just

Nardine Rafik

English lyrics:

Oh God, living beside You is the best because I love living with You.

Being close to You comforts me and makes me happy, nights go by, and clouds disappear.

How good are You for my life, Jesus?!  You’ve made me happy and wiped all my tears.

Who in the sky do I believe in?  Who do I desire or want in my abode.

How great are You?!  You’re great.  Oh Jesus, You’re great.

You supported me during my troubles.  You were strong during the difficulties.

You’ve provided us with all our needs and there was a spring of love left over.

You let me know how it is to love God.  You’ve embarrassed me because my love isn’t eternal.  So, bless me as I love you wholeheartedly, so don’t blame me.

This song expresses the love, peace, and gratitude Christians feel walking beside Jesus Christ every day; we are thankful for this life (John 10:10 and Colossians 3:15).

ترنيمة إله النور  | Ellah El Nour

The God of Light

English lyrics:

Oh, God of light and righteousness, I exist through You.

Oh, master of everything, Your reign has no limits.

You’re righteous and honest. You provide mercy and welfare all the time.

You support every saddened person during their troubles so that they’d be delighted.

Whenever I become weak, You, my God, would strengthen me.

You clear and lift all my worries.  You hold my hand to motivate me.

And You tell me, “Oh son, your worries are My worries.”

With You, my God, all worries will be gone.

God’s tender kindness is witnessed by those who put their trust in Him.  Keep trusting God.
