A Pedra

Miriam dos Passos

The Stone

It seems to be a logical order
When Jesus orders to remove the stone
The people seeing everyone around
They removed the stone and Jesus walks towards the door
Lazarus dead for four days
Even embalmed, the bad smell was rising
Jesus now calls: Lazarus
The dead is now resurrected
Jesus then orders to untie him!

If the stone didn't move
The friend of Jesus who is now resurrected
Couldn't come out from where he was buried
And the complete miracle wouldn't happen
The stone represents the delay of the miracle until it's removed
It seems like a crazy thing, but the order has been given
To achieve victory, the stone must be moved

The secret of the miracle is to remove that stone
The stone that hinders the miracle from happening
You may be a believer praying and fasting
But if you don't remove the stone, the dead won't live
Because the stone is the secret that hinders many people
They want the miracle to happen but the stone remains
If you want God to heal you today
If you want salvation to enter the doors of your home
Call the Master but you are the one who will remove the stone

The stone of lies, the stone of coldness
The stone of slander, the stone of sadness
The stone of envy, the stone of gossip
Of disbelief
Of slander and discord

The stone that doesn't let you feel joy
The stone that makes you keep being dead
Remove that stone and listen from above
Someone calling you by name and encouraging you
Obey the order
Now receive life, life, life
Now receive life, life, life
Listen to my voice that is life
Remove the stone
And now receive Life

The stone of vanity, the stone of falsehood
The stone of insult and false friendship
The stone of lust and hypocrisy
The stone of deception that cools your life
