A Esperança Que Restou
Cicero Nogueira
The Hope That Remained
God, I arrived here deeply distressed
Having in my chest the reflection of sin
I am only the rag that remained
God, it's very sad for man to be enslaved
It was pitiful to contemplate my state
I was oppressed by an oppressive executioner
God, I came here to ask for Your help
I don't deserve it, but life goes on
I want to belong to You entirely
God, getting to know You was the most beautiful thing for me
You are the oasis I found here on Earth
Lord, accept me as I am
I raise my hands to the sky
And accept You at this moment, I trust in victory
My true friend, the hope that remained
I want to know You much better
I place my life in Your hands
Lord, keep me standing
From this rag of a person, make a citizen of Heaven
