I Don't Want to Deny You

Erlene Silva

Não Quero Te Negar

Foi o galo que anunciou a noite, mas triste
Foi o galo que cantou, e o seu canto ainda ecoa
Madrugada fria os saldados lhe batia
Sem temor sem compaixão
Levaram a Jesus em meio a pouca luz
Lhe davam socos e empurrões
E Pedro acompanhava e de longe avistava o sofrimento de Jesus
Sem entender o que estava acontecendo Pedro chorava
O que ele estava vendo o canto do galo em sua mente o açoitava
Parecia lhe dizer não te falei tu me negava
O que mais surpreendeu foi o olhar meigo mestre olhando Pedro
Quem sabe ele queria lhe dizer eu ainda te amo
Eu te amo o que passou, passou

Pedro virando a costas saiu
Foi chorar amargamente o que ele viu
A Jesus ele negou e a música do galo o acompanhou

Eu não quero te negar Senhor
Mas ao mesmo tempo falho sou
Não quero ser cana quebrada
Mas uma rocha bem firmada
Na tua presença eu quero ser

Eu não quero te negar Senhor
Mas ao mesmo tempo falho sou
Quero está em tua presença
Vou fazer a diferença
Prometo não vou te negar

I Don't Want to Deny You

It was the rooster that announced the night, but sadly
It was the rooster that crowed, and its song still echoes
In the cold dawn, the soldiers were beating him
Without fear, without compassion
They took Jesus away in the dim light
They were punching and shoving him
And Peter was watching from a distance, seeing Jesus' suffering
Not understanding what was happening, Peter cried
What he was seeing, the rooster's crow in his mind whipped him
It seemed to say, didn't I tell you, you denied me
What surprised him most was the gentle look of the master looking at Peter
Maybe he wanted to say, I still love you
I love you, what's done is done

Peter turned his back and left
He went to bitterly cry over what he saw
He denied Jesus, and the rooster's song followed him

I don't want to deny you, Lord
But at the same time, I’m flawed
I don’t want to be broken cane
But a rock, solid and strong
In your presence, I want to be

I don't want to deny you, Lord
But at the same time, I’m flawed
I want to be in your presence
I’ll make a difference
I promise I won’t deny you
