In Memorian / Semente do Sangue

I’ll always remember the courage, the love
The strength and will, the faith and devotion
The church from the time of Paul, Peter, and John
Who faced the fury of Rome
But never denied their faith as Christians
It’s an example for me, a true lesson

I wanted to see the bravery of the saints
In the arena facing the lions
The more the fire burned
The louder the praise of our brothers rang out
Under the blood, they fell in the streets
They arrived in heaven with victory in their hands
It’s an example for me, a true lesson

Oh, my God! Revive Your church again
Let the flame burn in this people
Like the first Christians did
Oh, my God! Revive Your church again
Let the flame burn in this people
Starting in my heart

I know that James was killed by beheading
And Peter was crucified in a cruel way
I know some were killed by the sword
I know they’re also there in the bosom of God, no one thought to be a coward

They died for love
They never denied for a second that Jesus Christ
Is the Savior, they were grounded in the promise, guaranteed by Jesus Christ
Whoever is faithful until death will receive the crown of life

I am the seed of blood
Of the brothers who died bleeding
To keep the Gospel alive, they kept dying
Of Christ saying: I am the seed of blood
Of the brothers who had the courage

To face the whips and death and carry the message
To face the whips and death and carry the message
Starting in my heart
