Carta de Alforria

Emancipation Letter

Carta de Alforria

What was evil took away from meO que era mal afastou de mim
And what condemned me, Jesus put an end toE o que condenava-me, Jesus pós um fim
It weighed on my shouldersPesou nos ombros
From an innocent the sin that was mineDe um inocente o pecado que era meu
It was on the cross, yes on the crossFoi na cruz, sim na cruz
It was dispelled through JesusFoi dissipado através de Jesus

All my mistakes remainedTodo o erro meu ficou
Nailed there on the crossCravado lá na cruz
And the shame that was stamped on meE a vergonha que estampava em mim
And the impure cloak that covered my beingE o manto impuro que cobriu o meu ser
For so long you have kept me away from GodPor tanto tempo me afastou de Deus
It was torn on the cross through the blood of JesusFoi rasgado na cruz através do sangue de Jesus

The shackles were brokenOs grilhões foram quebrados
The chains, the handcuffs tooAs correntes, as algemas também
The eternal prison that awaited meA prisão eterna que me esperava
It was undone, destroyed thereFoi desfeita, destruída ali
I am freeSou livre

It was there on the crossFoi lá na cruz
That Jesus boughtQue Jesus comprou
Every mistake that was mine, Jesus paidTodo erro que era meu, Jesus pagou
It was there on the cross that Jesus tookFoi lá na cruz, que Jesus levou
The letter of manumission set me freeA carta de alforria e me libertou
I am free, free, freeSou livre, livre, livre

All my mistakes remainedTodo o erro meu ficou
Nailed there on the crossCravado lá na cruz
And the shame that was stamped on meE a vergonha que estampava em mim
And the impure cloak that covered my beingE o manto impuro que cobriu o meu ser
For so long you have kept me away from GodPor tanto tempo me afastou de Deus
It was torn on the cross through the blood of JesusFoi rasgado na cruz através do sangue de Jesus

The shackles were brokenOs grilhões foram quebrados
The chains, the handcuffs tooAs correntes, as algemas também
The eternal prison that awaited meA prisão eterna que me esperava
It was undone, destroyed thereFoi desfeita, destruída ali
I am freeSou livre

It was there on the crossFoi lá na cruz
That Jesus boughtQue Jesus comprou
Every mistake that was mine, Jesus paidTodo erro que era meu, Jesus pagou
It was there on the cross that Jesus tookFoi lá na cruz, que Jesus levou
The letter of manumission set me freeA carta de alforria e me libertou
It was there on the crossFoi lá na cruz
That Jesus boughtQue Jesus comprou
Every mistake that was mine Jesus paidTodo erro que era meu Jesus pagou
