O Sacrifício de Abraão

Every believer is tested
Every blessing has a price, for him to receive
If he wants authority, humility is necessary
And to obey God

Many times the Lord asks
For what I don't want to give
Asks for what I love the most
What will hurt me
That's how he tests
Do you remember Isaac
Whom God commanded to sacrifice

Abraham didn't doubt
Took his son Isaac
To make a sacrifice
Went to Mount Moriah
Took the wood and the knife
With sadness in his soul
Laid him on the wood

When he raised the knife
From above God shouted
Abraham, don't do this
Your faith pleased me
Descend with your blessing
For now I acknowledge
That you fear the Lord

Do you remember Joseph
He was sold as a slave
By his own brothers

He was taken prisoner
Humiliated all the time
But he didn't dream in vain

God was always with him
Day and night he prayed
Until one day Pharaoh
Called him to the palace
And interpreting a dream
From that moment on
He became a governor

Jesus Christ was tested
He gave his own life
Like a lamb he was led
Wounds on his body
There were my sins
All the guilt of this world
He bore on himself

His body bleeding there
With his feet and hands nailed
I have to thank
And say thank you very much
For saving my soul
And giving me calm in the struggle
And for being my savior
