A Igreja de Joelhos

James is killed with the edge of the sword, by order of King Herod
Herod, overcome by hatred, wants to destroy the church
And he sends his soldiers to Peter to arrest
And now what to do if Pedro is in prison?
And now what to do if the church is without a pastor?

But the church knew, it didn't forget that
And his greatest weapon was to cry out to his God

And ceaselessly the church begins to pray
Pedro is in prison
And the church is on its knees, Pedro remains in prison
And the church remains on its knees
And God hears the cry of the church
And orders the angel to release Peter
And when he is freed, Pedro goes to the house
Where do you find the church gathered in prayer
And he knocks on the door and says: It's me, Pedro
And the disciples say they don't believe it's Peter
But Rodi the woman says: Yes, I know my pastor's voice!
And the door opens, and it was really Pedro
Who was freed by the Lord
Because there was a church
Who was constantly on his knees

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

If the enemy arises: The church prays
If illness arrives: The church prays
If there is persecution: The church prays
Because she knows she is victorious!
If sin plagues: The church prays
If coldness takes over: The church prays
If they want to shut the church up
That's where she prays

In fervent prayer, come your heart in the presence of God to pour out
But you can only flow what you're asking for, when you leave it all at the altar

And this is a church that does not sell itself, that does not corrupt itself
And who does not bow to the system of men
We are part of a Church that meets
On your knees
