A Cruz

The Cross

A Cruz

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

I walked on waterSobre as águas andei
I multiplied bread and fishPão e peixe 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 deadOs mortos eu ressuscitei
I purified the lepersOs leprosos eu purifiquei
And I freed the captivesE os cativos eu libertava
With each miracle, I was closer to the crossA cada milagre mais perto da cruz eu estava

So finally I faced the crossEntão enfim me deparei frente a frente com a cruz
My father made the promise, and I committed to fulfill itO meu pai fez a promessa pra cumpri-la eu me propus
All the time I knew that on the cross that dayO tempo todo eu sabia que na cruz naquele dia
I would have to dieEu teria que morrer
And today here I am facing youE hoje aqui eu me deparo frente a frente com você
Looking into your eyesEstou olhando nos seus olhos
I came here to tell youVim aqui pra te dizer
Do not be afraid, I am JesusNão tenha medo eu sou Jesus
When I thought about the crossQuando eu pensava na cruz
I was thinking about youEstava pensando em você

Do not be afraid, I am JesusNão tenha medo eu sou Jesus
I was thinking about youEu pensava em você
