O Encontro
Neide Martins
The Encounter
Once again, the scene repeated
Once again, the tears flowed
Once again, the lament is heard from those who refuse to be silent
Once again, hope that seemed lost
Once again, just a crowd and nothing more
Once again, many people around, yet always feeling alone
Imagine a woman with a troubled soul
Imagine she had no peace, no joy
Imagine what she couldn't imagine, what she couldn't imagine
That on the way to Nain, Jesus Christ was there
Everything was ready for the burial
A crowd followed the procession
What she didn't know was that on that day the burial wouldn't happen
Everything was ready for the spectacle
One of the greatest encounters was about to happen
Death and life were soon to meet
At the city gate, the funeral procession would stop
Jesus arrives at the right time and stops the coffin
Breaking through the crowd, He goes in a certain direction
And in front of Him is a woman who can't stop crying
And He says, 'Woman, do not weep, for I am your Lord'
Touching the coffin, the boy arose
And suddenly the crying stopped
And suddenly the crying stopped
It's true that we are dust
But when this dust surrenders
He quickly responds
And suddenly the crying stopped
And suddenly the crying stopped
That's how it happens
Evil has no alternative
Where Jesus arrives, He brings life
It doesn't matter to Him the time or duration
If it's four days, twelve years, it doesn't matter
He comes to meet you
Fighting
Winning
Struggling
Breaking through
Breaking barriers
Breaking chains
Breaking bonds, giving victory
For His glory
He fights
He wins
He struggles
He breaks through
Breaking barriers
Breaking chains
Breaking bonds
Giving victory
For His glory
Because He lives
He lives
He lives
He lives
And in His presence
There's only the sound of glory!
