Ergue-se a Cruz

The Cross is Raised

Ergue-se a Cruz

In the streets of Jerusalem, my Savior walkedNas ruas de Jerusalém, caminhava meu Salvador
Carrying a heavy cross, feeling great painCarregando uma cruz pesada, sentindo grande dor
And the whole crowd shouted: Crucify this evildoer!E toda multidão gritava: Crucifiquem este malfeitor!
They didn't know they were killing their CreatorNão sabiam que estavam matando o seu Criador
And my Master fell with the heavy crossE caiu meu Mestre com a pesada cruz
And the sound of the whip, of the executioner was heardE o som, do chicote, do carrasco se ouvia
And Jesus went on, and Jesus went onE seguiu Jesus, e seguiu Jesus
To the mountain where He would die for mePara o monte onde iria morrer por mim
And the crown of thorns wounded His foreheadE a coroa de espinhos Sua fronte feria
And the precious blood flowed, on His face of lightE o sangue precioso escorria, em Sua face de luz
He carried on His shoulders the weight of my sinsCarregava em Seus ombros o peso dos pecados meus
And Jesus went to die for meE foi Jesus, morrer por mim

Then the cross is raised, with my Savior on itEntão ergue-se a cruz, nela o meu Salvador
A breeze blew, bringing the pain and loneliness of the worldUma brisa soprou, trazendo a dor e a solidão do mundo
And Jesus breathed His last, hope diedE Jesus expirou, morreu a esperança
The light of heaven went out, the Earth trembledA luz do céu apagou, a Terra tremeu
Jesus Christ diedJesus Cristo morreu
And now, the light of the world, doesn't shine anymoreE agora, a luz do mundo, não brilha mais
The hope of salvation died on the crossA esperança, de salvação, morreu na cruz
And the pain of loneliness tightens the soulE a dor, da solidão aperta a alma
But His great love for me made Him returnMas o Seu grande amor por mim o fez voltar

Jesus rose, covered in gloryJesus ressuscitou, coberto de glória
Ensuring forever, my victoryGarantindo pra sempre, sempre, a minha vitória

Christ lives, He is risenCristo vive, ressuscitou
Christ lives, He is the LordCristo vive, Ele é o Senhor
Christ lives, He lives, He is risenCristo vive, Ele vive, ressuscitou
