Santidade

Heaven, beautiful Heaven
Heaven, beautiful Heaven

Heaven, that's where I'm going
No one will stop me
I will arrive there
And I will present myself
In the presence of the king

New garments I will have
A new name I will gain
Face to face I will see
How He is!

All tears God will wipe away
On streets of gold we will walk
In the beautiful choir we will sing
At a great table with Him we will dine
The church will rise, will rise, will rise

But to get there is not so simple
Not in every way
It's not a joke
The matter is serious, you have to be holy if you want to rise
You have to be prudent, obedient
You have to be different
Give testimony of a believer
You have to walk in truth
That's the way if you want to arrive there

Because sin does not enter there
Adultery does not enter
Fornication does not enter prostitution
Those who practice the fruits of the flesh
Certainly will not enter there

Because God is Holy, Jesus is Holy
The Spirit is Holy, The church is Holy
He demands holiness for those who serve Him here

The holy church Jesus will take
Has reserved oil, has fire on the altar
She is a prudent bride, obedient
Does everything with zeal, walks on her knees
And surely will rise
If you and I want to rise, if you want to rise
It has to be like this

But to get there you have to remove arrogance
Remove ignorance, remove pride, you have to be a sheep
What is shown, what is exalted will not arrive there
It can be a preacher, it can be a singer
From member to pastor, it can be anyone
If not in the Word, it will not reach the gate

Because the wolf does not enter there, the goat does not enter
The fox does not enter, the serpent does not enter
There is a place for the sheep for the shepherd to tend

It's no use having a cape
Or a mask
And it's no use hiding
If not, God will catch you
And will show who you are
For you to orient yourself

The holy church Jesus will take
Has reserved oil
Has fire on the altar
She is a prudent bride, obedient
Does everything with zeal, walks on her knees
And surely will rise
If you and I want to rise
If you want to rise
It has to be like this

It has to be like this, there is no other way
You have to pay the price if you want to get there
There is no division there, no corruption
No fighting among brothers
No little saint, no big saint
You have to be Holy, consecrate yourself
You have to watch, fast and pray
You have to read the Word, pray at dawn
Have one face, a consecrated bride

And by doing so, the church will rise
