Algemas
Junior (Gospel)
Handcuffs
Why do you pull away from my presence
Trying to hide from me with your face in your hands?
When it was I who died on a cross to give you freedom
And took from my blood the blindness from your sight?
I opened the path of life that was closed
I knocked down the stone walls that divided us
I removed the handcuffs that were permanent prisons
I took the strongest chain off your feet
And you still won't accept me in your heart
Why do you tell others that you don't know me
And sometimes pray to gods in vain?
When pain comes to ravage your whole body
You'll see then that only in me will you find a solution
The ground you walk on and the water that quenches your thirst
The air you breathe often just to survive
Clearly show everyone that I still love you
And I've never forgotten a moment of looking at you
