Nação da Cruz

I have suffered from unrequited love
I have suffered from dreams not lived
I have suffered from the death of a loved one
I have been sick
I have lost friends
But nothing compares
To what Jesus suffered
To bring eternal life
How much He endured

We are the nation of the cross
Saved by the blood
Saved by the blood
We are the nation of the cross
Saved by the blood
Saved by the blood of Jesus

If to live is Christ and to die is gain
I mourn for the oppressors
I may be persecuted
But not forsaken
Struck down, but not destroyed
My suffering is only worth it
If it's for this love
Hope for the afflicted
Relief for the pain

We are the nation of the cross
Saved by the blood
Saved by the blood
We are the nation of the cross
Saved by the blood
Saved by the blood of Jesus

My suffering is only worth it
If it's for this love
Hope for the afflicted
Relief for the pain

They cut off the prophet's head
The prophet is now our inspiration
Where we run, the blood flows
Covering the fight in red
Life here is short
Short is your faith for a revolution
Nation of the cross, each one carries their own
I heard a cry
Come to the streets!
But the street has always been my position
The world is cruel and they thirst for killing
But here
Only those ready to die form the battalion

We are the nation of the cross
Saved by the blood
Saved by the blood
We are the nation of the cross
Saved by the blood
Saved by the blood of Jesus
