I was an abandoned houseEu era uma casa abandonada
God's light never shone on meA luz de Deus jamais brilhava em mim
I was in the middle of the bushEstava no meio do mato
Full of mosquitoes, cockroaches, and termitesCheio de mosquito, barata e cupim
All walls were ruinedParede toda acabada
No furniture, balcony, or gardenSem mobilia, varanda e jardim
The roof almost collapsingO teto já quase caindo
No power, endless darknessNão tinha energia, escuridão sem fim

And in this ruined stateE eu desse jeito acabado
I had a 'for sale' signEstava com placa de venda
On the sign it was writtenNa placa estava escrito
If you fix me up, I can serve you!Se me der um jeito eu posso servir!
Many passed by sayingMuitos passavam por longe dizendo
Why do I want this old housePra quê eu quero essa casinha velha
Without a door or window, looks like a ruinSem porta e janela, parece uma tapera
Where only insects and bad things liveOnde só mora inseto e coisa ruim

Many were discouragedMuitos desenganavam
They stoned me and insulted meMe apedrejavam e me insultavam
Said things that didn't please meDiziam coisas que não me agradavam
And I thought it was my endE eu já pensava que era o meu fim

Then two buyers arrivedAí chegou dois compradores
Interested in buying meInteressados a me comprar
One wanted my goodUm queria o meu bem
But the other wanted to bring me downMas o outro queria era me derrubar
Belial started to speakBelial começou a falar

And Jesus was just listeningE Jesus só estava a escutar
To see what he was sayingPra ver o que ele dizia
What was coming, what he had to offerO que vinha, o que tinha para o ofertar
He offered a lot of moneyOfereceu muito dinheiro
But had no right to eternal lifeMas a vida eterna não tinha direito
I could see he wasn't the heirJá estava vendo não era o herdeiro
I'll listen to the next one offeringVou escutar o próximo a me ofertar

The crowd presented themselvesApresentou-se a multidão
And said he was the master, the author of salvationE disse que era o mestre o autor da salvação
I'll turn the house into a mansionVou transformar a casa em um casarão
Where the Holy Spirit will dwellOnde o Espírito Santo é quem vai morar

Without shovel, without cementSem pá, sem colher, sem cimento
He renovated me from the insideMe reformou toda por dentro
Turned on the light, blew out the candleLigou a luz, tirou a vela
Opened the window to let in the windAbriu a janela pra entrar o vento
The wind removed the dirtO vento tirou a sujeira
Cleaned the dust, lit the fireplaceLimpou a poeira, ligou a lareira

The wind can't set wood on fireO vento não pode pôr fogo em madeira
But the work of the spiritMas o agir do espírito
Works beautifully without anyone understandingTrabalha bonito sem ninguém entender
And this wind is passing through a fallen houseE esse vento está passando em casa derrubada
A damaged house, an abandoned houseCasa estragada, casa abandonada
Good for nothingNão presta pra nada
Where man looks and says: I don't even want to seeOnde o homem olha e diz: Nem quero ver

You'll have to see God act in your lifeVai ter que ver Deus agir na tua vida
From an old house to a beautiful homeDe casinha velha pra casa bonita
This miracle you'll have to seeEsse milagre ele vai ter que ver

You'll have to see God make it happenVai ter que ver Deus fazer acontecer
From an old house now beingDe casinha velha agora ser
God's dwelling placeMorada de Deus
