Em Jerusalém
Elaine de Jesus
In Jerusalem
Dawn has broken
Today is Friday in Jerusalem
With the cross on His shoulders, He comes
Like a silent lamb, He does not complain to anyone
Dawn has broken
And the pain He feels is too much
On the way to Calvary, He goes
Condemned to die in my place
He died
His body was torn
He was crucified to forgive me
The earth trembled, the sun hid
The veil tore and Friday ended
The cross is now empty, He was taken
His body has been placed in the tomb
The disciples, afraid, think of stopping
They forgot the promise and are crying
Suddenly something happened in the tomb
The soldiers fell to the ground, the stone moved
The news spread quickly among the people
The tomb is empty, He has risen
He has risen
He triumphed over hell and death
He has already stepped on the head of the serpent
He took the devil's keys and made it tremble
He is the Father of Eternity, He is the Owner of Power
He ascended to heaven, but promised to return
He will come to gather His redeemed Church
But only those who pass by the foot of the cross
Will behold the face of Jesus on that Day
Like a lamb to the slaughter, He went without complaining
He was humiliated and wounded just because He loves me
But on the cross He cried out loud: 'IT IS FINISHED!'
To fulfill the prophecy, He left His Throne
And at Calvary, He then gave His life
But on the third day, my Jesus rose
He triumphed over hell and death
He has already stepped on the head of the serpent
He took the devil's keys and made it tremble
He is the Father of Eternity, He is the Owner of Power
He ascended to heaven but promised to return
He will come to gather His redeemed Church
But only those who pass by the foot of the cross
Will behold the face of Jesus on that Day
The face...Your face...Jesus
