O Ladrão Perdoado

The Forgiven Thief

O Ladrão Perdoado

I wanted to be there to talk to those peopleEu queria estar lá pra falar com aquela gente
About the love that Jesus brought to the needy worldDo amor que Jesus trouxe ao mundo carente
I wanted to be the forgiven thiefEu queria ser o ladrão perdoado
Who on the brink of death, was assured of eternal lifeQue a beira da morte, da vida eterna foi assegurado

I wanted to see live the warm bloodEu queria ver ao vivo o sangue quente
That flowed from the forehead of that innocent manQue escorria da fronte daquele homem inocente
I wanted to be the forgiven thiefEu queria ser o ladrão perdoado
Who on the brink of death, was assured of eternal lifeQue a beira da morte, da vida eterna foi assegurado

But I discovered, at that very moment I feltMas eu descobri, neste mesmo instante senti
That I was there on that crossQue eu estava lá naquela cruz
And that Jesus forgave me and gave me salvationE que Jesus me perdoou e me deu a salvação
Because I was the thiefPorque eu era o ladrão
