O Rosto de Cristo
Josely Scarabelli
The Face of Christ
Every time I read the story of Christ
I think with great emotion
Of the privilege that many had
To see his face, feel his hand
I also wanted the same joy
To have him close, very close to me
And look into his serene and gentle eyes
And how happy I would be like that
I wanted to know what his face was like
Although I feel it was very beautiful
It inspired faith and also trust
And gave everyone infinite joy
And when I see the engravings in the painted pictures
What they say is my Lord
My being does not accept what is on the canvas
And the painter's inspiration is false
I do not believe, I do not believe, in a defeated Christ
Full of bitterness, a face of pain
I believe in a Christ with a joyful face
I believe in a victorious Christ
And one day I will also see him face to face
And so I believe through my faith
Oh, hallelujah I will see his face
I will see Jesus as he is
