Eu Fui Chamado

I Was Called

Eu Fui Chamado

I was called by JesusEu fui chamado por Jesus
And I gave my heartE me entreguei de coração
I’ll carry my cross tooLevarei também a minha cruz
I was called by JesusEu fui chamado por Jesus

I heard that some time agoEu ouvi dizer que há um tempo atrás
Our brothers in faith, before cruel kingsNossos irmãos de fé, perante reis cruéis
Were forced to chooseObrigados foram a escolher
Renounce their faith, or die insteadRenunciar a fé, ou então morrer

And one by one they gave inE um a um foram se entregar
For they could not deny their LordPois o Seu Senhor não podiam negar
And in the freezing cold of that placeE no frio gelado desse lugar
I can almost hear their voices echoing:Posso quase ouvir sua voz a ecoar:

I was called by JesusEu fui chamado por Jesus
And I gave my heartE me entreguei de coração
I’ll carry my cross tooLevarei também minha cruz
I was called by JesusEu fui chamado por Jesus

The years come and go, and time has passedOs anos vêm e vão, e o tempo passou
But His cause, no, it hasn’t diedMas a sua causa, não, não morreu
Now it’s our turn to embrace the crossAgora é nossa vez de abraçar a cruz
Renounce the world and follow JesusRenunciar ao mundo e seguir Jesus

And one by one we’ll give ourselvesE um a um vamos nos entregar
Our whole lives laid down on this altarToda nossa vida depor nesse altar
For when Heaven opens, and the trumpet soundsPois quando o Céu se abrir, e a trombeta soar
We’ll be together, shoutingEstaremos juntos, a exclamar

I was called by JesusEu fui chamado por Jesus
And I gave my heartE me entreguei de coração
I’ll carry my cross tooLevarei também minha cruz
I was called by JesusEu fui chamado por Jesus

For my Jesus who heard my cryPelo meu Jesus que ouviu me clamor
And in my place bore my painE no meu lugar suportou minha dor
I’ll carry my cross tooLevarei também a minha cruz
I was called by JesusEu fui chamado por Jesus

I was called by JesusEu fui chamado por Jesus
And I gave my heartE me entreguei de coração
I’ll carry my cross tooLevarei também minha cruz
I was called by JesusEu fui chamado por Jesus
