As Sete Cartas

Hey, João, write the things I will say
Seven letters to the seven angels
To the seven churches

I have seen the affliction
Everyone needing correction
And the need to hear my voice

To the church of Ephesus: Remember, where you fell?
And repent, and practice the first works
For if not, I will come to you quickly
And remove your candlestick from its place
If you do not repent

Return to your first love, oh church
Return to your first love

To the church in Smyrna
Do not fear the things you will suffer
The devil will throw some of you into prison

So that you may be tested
And also troubled
Be faithful unto death
And I will give you the crown of life

To the church of Pergamum
Do not love the world
Nor the sacrifice of idolatry and corruption

To the church in Thyatira
Do not listen to Jezebel
Who has introduced among you
Idolatry and prostitution

Seek holiness in the Lord
In the Lord, in the Lord
Seek holiness in the Lord

To the church of Sardis
Rise up from the dead!
Awake, you who sleep!
And Christ will enlighten you

To the church in Laodicea
Seeking only riches
Financial prosperity

A lukewarm church God will reject
A lukewarm church God will reject

(Philadelphia, Philadelphia) Philadelphia
(Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Philadelphia)
(Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Philadelphia)

I know your deeds
And behold before you
I have set an open door that no one can shut

Even though you have little strength
You have not denied my name
As you have kept the word of my patience

I will also keep you from the trial
That is coming upon the whole world
To test those who dwell on the Earth

Behold, I come quickly!
Keep what you have
So that no one may take your crown!

To the church of today: What are you doing?
The last hour has come
There is no more time to lose

I will worship only my God
I will sanctify myself to dwell in heaven
I want to see the face of my bridegroom
The Emmanuel!

I will snatch souls from hell
I will put on the armor of God
I am the church, of the last hour

He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit is saying
To the churches of the last hour

To the one who overcomes
I will make a pillar in the temple of God
I will give him a new name
In the city of my God, the New Jerusalem

Listen, listen, listen to the Spirit of God
Listen, oh church, listen
Listen to the letters, from the Apocalypse!

What church are you?
What church are you?
What church are you?

Hey, João
