Ao Partir o Pão
Walmir Alencar
Breaking the Bread
Who could have imagined
That cross
Was just the beginning
Of a love story
They commented with great sorrow
Everything that happened
And never expected
To meet the Lord
It happened without even waiting
He appeared among the disciples walking
Speaking of love and the sound of his voice
Set their hearts on fire
And they said
Lord, stay with us
It's late and the day is declining
Almost without hope
We leave without direction
But around the table
Our eyes were opened
We recognize you
In breaking the bread
Jerusalem, do not cry anymore
Joy has returned
Your Lord is alive
He has risen
It happened without even waiting
He appeared among the disciples walking
Speaking of love and the sound of his voice
Set their hearts on fire
And they said
Lord, stay with us
It's late and the day is declining
Almost without hope
We leave without direction
But around the table
Our eyes were opened
We recognize you
In breaking the bread
Jerusalem, do not cry anymore
