Quem Poderia
Shirley Carvalhaes
Who Could
It's been a long time since the story happened
I want to tell it now, pay close attention
About a certain man, persecuted and humiliated
Who died crucified for my transgressions
He was the Christ, the anointed one sent
That God had prepared to save the world
He was tortured, hung on the cross
The true friend, who died in my place
Who could love like that to have such compassion
His pure blood shed, his death fulfilled
All our redemption
From my sins and the world's oppressions
I was set free in a second when he breathed his last
Distressed, many were crying
They couldn't bear what seemed like the end
Surprised, with immense joy
It was the third day when he rose again
He went to hell, defeated death for me
Ensuring forever an eternal life
Who could love like that to have such compassion
His pure blood shed, his death fulfilled
All our redemption
