Ele Sofreu Por Mim
Eu li que Jesus fora preso
De dor, a minh'alma vibrou
Eu antes assim não sentia
Agora isto a mim empolgou
Eu li que Ele foi conduzido
À corte de Jerusalém
Ali padeceu grande afronta
Foi coroado de espinhos também
Eu sei que eu era o culpado
Mas Ele sofreu já por mim
Eu sei que Ele era inocente
Padecendo tudo assim
Eu li que Jesus foi julgado
Uma cruz mui pesada levou
E nela, por mim expirando
Os meus vis pecados tomou
Enquanto na cruz pendurado
Uma lança Seu lado furou
Na esponja Lhe deram vinagre
E Ele por mim o tragou
Eu sei que eu era o culpado
Mas Ele sofreu já por mim
Eu sei que Ele era inocente
Padecendo tudo assim
Depois, José de Arimatéia
E outros discípulos também
Puseram-no em um sepulcro
E os guardas vigiavam bem
Enquanto no mundo, Ele disse
Que havia de ressuscitar
E Deus fez então um milagre
Fazendo-o dos mortos tornar
Eu sei que eu era o culpado
Mas Ele sofreu já por mim
Eu sei que Ele era inocente
Padecendo tudo assim
Os guardas ainda vigiavam
Quando um anjo veio do Céu
E a pedra que estava na porta
Com grande poder, removeu
Depressa os laços caíram
O plano de Deus era assim
E a luz e a vida resplendem
E isto foi tudo por mim
Eu sei que eu era o culpado
Mas Ele sofreu já por mim
Eu sei que Ele era inocente
Padecendo tudo assim
He Suffered for Me
I read that Jesus was arrested
My soul trembled with pain
I didn’t feel this way before
But now it’s got me stirred up
I read that He was led away
To the court in Jerusalem
There He suffered great shame
And was crowned with thorns as well
I know I was the guilty one
But He already suffered for me
I know He was innocent
Enduring all of this
I read that Jesus was judged
He carried a heavy cross
And on it, breathing His last
He took on my vile sins
While hanging on the cross
A spear pierced His side
They gave Him vinegar on a sponge
And He drank it down for me
I know I was the guilty one
But He already suffered for me
I know He was innocent
Enduring all of this
Then Joseph of Arimathea
And other disciples too
Laid Him in a tomb
And the guards kept watch real close
While in the world, He said
That He would rise again
And God performed a miracle
Bringing Him back from the dead!
I know I was the guilty one
But He already suffered for me
I know He was innocent
Enduring all of this
The guards were still on watch
When an angel came from heaven
And the stone at the door
Was rolled away with great power
Quickly the bonds fell off
This was God’s plan all along
And the light and life shone bright
And all of this was for me!
I know I was the guilty one
But He already suffered for me
I know He was innocent
Enduring all of this
