A Igreja de Joelhos

Tiago is killed by the sword, by order of King Herod
Herod consumed by hatred, wants to destroy the church
And sends his soldiers to arrest Peter
And now what to do if Peter is in prison?
And now what to do if the church is without the shepherd?
But the church knew, it did not forget
And its greatest weapon was to cry out to its God

And incessantly the church begins to pray
Peter is in prison
And the church on its knees, Peter remains in prison
And the church continues on its knees
And God hears the church's cry
And commands the angel to release Peter
And when Peter is set free, he goes to the house
Where he finds the church gathered in prayer
And he knocks on the door and says: It's me, Peter
And the disciples say they don't believe it's Peter
But Rhoda the woman says: Yes, I know, I recognize the voice of my shepherd!
And they open the door, and it was indeed Peter
Who was freed by the Lord
Because there was a church
That was constantly on its knees

When the church prays, it's only victory, it's only victory
When the church prays, it's only victory, it's only victory
When the church prays, it's only victory

If the enemy rises: The church prays
If illness comes: The church prays
If there is persecution: The church prays
Because it knows it is victorious!
If sin plagues: The church prays
If coldness takes over: The church prays
If they want to silence the church
That's when it prays

In fervent prayer, let your heart come to pour out in the presence of God
But only what you ask for can flow, when you leave everything on the altar

And this is a church that does not sell out, that does not corrupt
And that does not bow to the system of men
We are part of a Church that is found
On its knees
