Ergue-se a Cruz
Nas ruas de Jerusalém, caminhava meu Salvador
Carregando uma cruz pesada, sentindo grande dor
E toda multidão gritava: Crucifiquem este malfeitor!
Não sabiam que estavam matando o seu Criador
E caiu meu Mestre com a pesada cruz
E o som, do chicote, do carrasco se ouvia
E seguiu Jesus, e seguiu Jesus
Para o monte onde iria morrer por mim
E a coroa de espinhos Sua fronte feria
E o sangue precioso escorria, em Sua face de luz
Carregava em Seus ombros o peso dos pecados meus
E foi Jesus, morrer por mim
Então ergue-se a cruz, nela o meu Salvador
Uma brisa soprou, trazendo a dor e a solidão do mundo
E Jesus expirou, morreu a esperança
A luz do céu apagou, a Terra tremeu
Jesus Cristo morreu
E agora, a luz do mundo, não brilha mais
A esperança, de salvação, morreu na cruz
E a dor, da solidão aperta a alma
Mas o Seu grande amor por mim o fez voltar
Jesus ressuscitou, coberto de glória
Garantindo pra sempre, sempre, a minha vitória
Cristo vive, ressuscitou
Cristo vive, Ele é o Senhor
Cristo vive, Ele vive, ressuscitou
The Cross is Raised
In the streets of Jerusalem, my Savior walked
Carrying a heavy cross, feeling great pain
And the whole crowd shouted: Crucify this evildoer!
They didn't know they were killing their Creator
And my Master fell with the heavy cross
And the sound of the whip, of the executioner was heard
And Jesus went on, and Jesus went on
To the mountain where He would die for me
And the crown of thorns wounded His forehead
And the precious blood flowed, on His face of light
He carried on His shoulders the weight of my sins
And Jesus went to die for me
Then the cross is raised, with my Savior on it
A breeze blew, bringing the pain and loneliness of the world
And Jesus breathed His last, hope died
The light of heaven went out, the Earth trembled
Jesus Christ died
And now, the light of the world, doesn't shine anymore
The hope of salvation died on the cross
And the pain of loneliness tightens the soul
But His great love for me made Him return
Jesus rose, covered in glory
Ensuring forever, my victory
Christ lives, He is risen
Christ lives, He is the Lord
Christ lives, He lives, He is risen
