Sacrifício de Amor

Through the painful path walking
I saw a man carrying
A cross on his shoulders
He had lashes on his body
He continued without saying anything
Not even defending himself
I also saw that there was blood
On the path of the crown of thorns
That they placed on his forehead
His panting and tired countenance
His bruised face
That the soldiers beat

He was walking to Calvary
The scene was sad
Yet he did not back down
They pierced his hands on the wood
And the time of consummation arrived
And there he forgave my sins

Jesus I know that I owe my life
To that sacrifice of love
You showed me the way out
You pulled me out from the depths of the abyss
Today I have my white garments
And my name is written in heaven
Because you did not deny a rough cross
Even before I was born
You loved me
To save my soul you were faithful
