Sacrifício de Amor

Sacrifice of Love

Sacrifício de Amor

Through the painful path walkingPela via dolorosa caminhando
I saw a man carryingVi um homem carregando
A cross on his shouldersUma cruz nos ombros seu
He had lashes on his bodyEle tinha em seu corpo chicotadas
He continued without saying anythingProsseguiu sem dizer nada
Not even defending himselfNem se quer se defendeu
I also saw that there was bloodVi também que tinha sangue
On the path of the crown of thornsNo caminho da coroa de espinhos
That they placed on his foreheadQue em sua fronte colocaram
His panting and tired countenanceSeu semblante ofegante e cansado
His bruised faceO seu rosto machucado
That the soldiers beatQue os soldados o espancam

He was walking to CalvaryEle estava caminhando pro Calvário
The scene was sadEra triste o cenário
Yet he did not back downMesmo assim não recuou
They pierced his hands on the woodNo madeiro perfuraram suas mãos
And the time of consummation arrivedE chegou a hora da consumação
And there he forgave my sinsE ali os meus pecados perdoou

Jesus I know that I owe my lifeJesus eu sei que devo a minha vida
To that sacrifice of lovePra aquele sacrifício de amor
You showed me the way outTu me mostraste a porta de saída
You pulled me out from the depths of the abyssDo fundo do abismo me tirou
Today I have my white garmentsEu hoje tenho minhas vestes brancas
And my name is written in heavenE o meu nome está escrito lá no céu
Because you did not deny a rough crossPor que uma rude cruz, tu não negaste
Even before I was bornMesmo antes que eu nascesse
You loved meTu me amastes
To save my soul you were faithfulPra salvar a minha alma tu fostes fiel
