Stones

Pedras

We were street stonesNós éramos pedras de rua
Kicked, stepped on by feetChutadas, pisadas por pés
We hit against other stonesBatíamos contra outras pedras
We always rolled backwardsRolávamos sempre em revés

Until we fell into the abyssAté que caímos no abismo
Misshapen, broken, without lightDisformes, quebradas, sem luz
In the darkness of the night we stayedNas trevas da noite ficamos
Lost in the shadow of the cross!Perdidas à sombra da cruz!

The stone that men brokeA pedra que os homens quebraram
Remained as a cornerstoneFicou como pedra angular
The stone that was rejectedA pedra que foi rejeitada
Is a stone that can saveÉ pedra que pode salvar

If you lose yourselfSe tu te perderes contigo
Try to find JesusProcura encontrar a Jesus
The jewel of jewels, friendA joia das joias, amigo
Is a stone that translates lifeÉ pedra que vida traduz

The cornerstone of the templeA pedra de esquina do templo
Took us out of fatal mudTirou-nos da lama fatal
Cleaned us from the surrounding mireLimpou-nos do lodo envolvente
This divine love is great!É grande esse amor divinal!

Made us living and useful stonesNos fez pedras vivas e úteis
In the temple, in God's causeNo templo, na causa de Deus
And still polishes the edgesE ainda lapida as arestas
It finds in His childrenQue encontra nos filhos seus

In the war of good against evilNa guerra do bem contra o mal
Let us be a wall of faithSejamos um muro de fé
Let us fight for the principlesLutemos em prol dos princípios
That always keep us standingQue sempre nos firmam de pé

Soon we will be with ChristEm breve estaremos com Cristo
Walking in paths of lightAndando em caminhos de luz
And, stones once stepped onE, pedras outrora pisadas
We will be the victory of the crossSeremos vitória da cruz
