Buscou-me Com Ternura
Igreja Cristã Maranata
Sought Me Tenderly
Sought me tenderly
Jesus, the good shepherd
Found me in misery
Saved me with love
In heaven they sang with joy
The angels, yes, in harmony
Oh! What glorious love!
Such a grand price
That Jesus paid for me on the cross
He showed me unheard-of grace!
Wounded, abandoned
Jesus helped me
And whispered to me: I found you
From now on you are mine
I never heard such a gentle voice
Never felt greater pleasure
Jesus showed me the wounds
He suffered in my place
A crown, but of thorns
The cross he endured
What could he find in me
To endure such insults?
My enraptured soul
Contemplates his face
Recalls the many blessings
Of his unparalleled love
Praise and glory and adoration
I offer to him my heart!
As the hours pass
I have joy and peace
And await my good master
Who makes me so happy!
Jesus will come for me
And then I will enjoy forever!
