Vim Pra Receber
Nilton Junior
I Came to Receive
When the time comes to surrender
Embracing passion freely
He broke the simple bread, gave thanks and asked
Take and eat in remembrance of me
I came to receive
Your body and your blood in my being
To remember thus
Your death and your life, oh Lord!
At the end of the same supper he left
With his blood the covenant of love
He lifted the cup, gave thanks and asked
Take and drink in remembrance of me
I came to receive
Your body and your blood in my being
To remember thus
Your death and your life, oh Lord!
And by extending his arms on a cross
He reconciled the world in his favor!
He conquered death and nothing stopped him
From tearing the veil and living in me
I came to receive
Your body and your blood in my being
To remember thus
Your death and your life, oh Lord!
I came to receive
Your body and your blood in my being
To remember thus
Your death and your life, oh Lord!
