Alegria da Minha Juventude

I ascend to the altar of God which is the joy of my youth
I ascend silently
With a joyful and fearful heart
For I know where the Lord will take me

Where would I be if not for Your love, Lord?
How happy would I be if I didn't do what my Lord commands?
Make me consecrated by love

I heard Your voice, that's why I'm here
I felt Your calling so I decided
And I throw myself, surrender myself in the arms of Your love
For in this love I want to remain

Your love burns me without consuming me
Your love is a sea of impetuous waters
And returns, and returns and returns of Your love
For in this love I want to remain

Make me feel Your love
Make me feel Your presence
I want to stand before You, Lord
Forever
