Casa Velha
Reginaldo Oliveira
Old House
An old abandoned house
With cracked walls
That was me, an old house
And without plaster, the rafters all crooked
About to fall to the ground
All the woodwork warped
And the roof also with holes about to fall
Before the Old House collapsed
The carpenter arrived, put his hand
And had compassion on me
Old House was me before knowing God
I lived in darkness, but when
The carpenter arrived at the old house
He transformed it into a beautiful mansion
Today I am a beautiful house, the Holy Spirit
Dwells in it, and it is all illuminated
He joined the cracks
Plastered the walls
And replaced the roof
He removed the crooked rafters
Made a new base and raised a new structure
Those who look at the house today
Cannot understand how the house
Was changed, and with crimson paint
The walls of this house are painted
I am a project, the architect is the Lord Jesus
I who once was darkness now shine
For I live in the light, I am a beautiful house
And documented by Dr. Emanuel
I am a registered house and deeded in the registry office in heaven
