Levanta e Vai
Cecília de Souza
Rise and Go
Pilgriming through this world
Walking towards the light of heaven
Many times with wounded feet
Stumbling with the heavy cross
Whether singing or even crying
I can't leave my cross behind
For in the midst of anguish
I hear the voice of my Jesus
Speaking to me this way:
Lift up your head and go
Keep going and don't cry anymore
The Lord will wipe away your tears
And you will sing a new song
If you are discouraged
Already thinking of leaving the cross
Forgetting that on the other side
The Lord Jesus awaits you
Take up your cross and keep going
Even if your cross is heavy
But do not fear, have faith
It is the Lord testing your faith
The Lord tests those he loves
And will never forget you
If you cry, He sees you
If you call out, He will also hear you
Cast your problems upon Him
Put your knees on the ground
For there is someone by your side
Who is collecting your prayers
