A Cruz

The Cross

A Cruz

My mother, the simple MariaMinha mãe a simples Maria
Raised me with so much joy, and I thinking about the crossMe criava com tanta alegria, e eu pensando na cruz
Joseph was a good carpenterJosé era um bom carpinteiro
Teaching me how to work the wood, and I thinking about the crossMe ensinava lavrar o madeiro, e eu pensando na cruz
As a boy in the temple teachingEu menino no templo ensinando
And the masters asking me, and I thinking about the crossE os mestres me perguntando, e eu pensando na cruz
John the Baptist baptizing in the riverJoão Batista no rio batizando
And the Spirit resting on me, and I thinking about the crossE o Espírito em mim repousando, e eu pensando na cruz

I walked on water, multiplied bread and fishSobre as águas andei, pão e peixes eu multipliquei
And showed my light to the blindE pro cego mostrei minha luz
With each miracle I was closer to the crossA cada milagre eu estava mais perto da cruz
I resurrected the dead, purified the lepersOs mortos eu ressuscitei, os leprosos eu purifiquei
Freed the captivesOs cativos eu libertava
With each miracle I was closer to the cross!A cada milagre mais perto da cruz eu estava!

So finally I faced it, face to face with the crossEntão enfim me deparei, frente a frente com a cruz
My Father made the promise, to fulfill I set outO meu Pai fez a promessa, pra cumprir eu me propus
All the time I knew, that on the cross that day, I would have to dieO tempo todo eu sabia, que na cruz naquele dia, eu teria que morrer
And today here I am, face to face with youE hoje aqui eu me deparo, frente a frente com você
I'm looking into your eyes, I came here to tell youEstou olhando nos seus olhos, vim aqui pra te dizer
Don't be afraid, I am JesusNão tenha medo eu sou Jesus
When I thought about the cross, I was thinking about you!Quando pensava na cruz, estava pensando em você!
