A Ovelha Perdida

The Lost Sheep

A Ovelha Perdida

The good shepherd sought meO bom pastor buscou-me
Already far from the foldJá longe do redil
And with tenderness found meE com ternura achou-me
Fallen, sad, vile!Caído, triste, vil!
The wounds, with love, He thoughtAs chagas, com amor, pensou
And to home, in His arms, He took meE ao lar, nos braços, me levou

Yes, Jesus loved meSim, Jesus amou-me
With love He sought meCom amor buscou-me
He Himself restored me to GodEle mesmo restaurou-me a Deus
By His blood, He restored me to GodPor Seu sangue, restaurou-me a Deus

He followed me, far awaySeguiu-me, bem distante
From His place, in heavenDo Seu lugar, no céu
And said, in a loving voiceE disse, em voz amante
I found you, you are mine!Achei-te, tu és meu!
I never felt such great loveJamais senti tão grande amor
Like this from my good shepherdComo este do meu bom pastor

Yes, Jesus loved meSim, Jesus amou-me
With love He sought meCom amor buscou-me
He Himself restored me to GodEle mesmo restaurou-me a Deus
By His blood, He restored me to GodPor Seu sangue, restaurou-me a Deus

I am dear to HimPor Ele sou querido
What singular grace!Que graça singular!
For He was woundedPois Ele foi ferido
In order to save meA fim de me salvar
Thus, I am His sheepAssim, ovelha Dele sou
And with His flock I will goE com o Seu rebanho vou

Yes, Jesus loved meSim, Jesus amou-me
With love He sought meCom amor buscou-me
He Himself restored me to GodEle mesmo restaurou-me a Deus
By His blood, He restored me to GodPor Seu sangue, restaurou-me a Deus

I now proceed joyfullyProssigo alegre agora
God gives complete powerDeus dá poder cabal
And saving graceE graça salvadora
Protects me from evilProtege-me do mal
The good shepherd is with meO bom pastor comigo está
He will guide my stepsMeus passos Ele guiará

Yes, Jesus loved meSim, Jesus amou-me
With love He sought meCom amor buscou-me
He Himself restored me to GodEle mesmo restaurou-me a Deus
By His blood, He restored me to GodPor Seu sangue, restaurou-me a Deus
