Rosto de Cristo

Every time I read the story of Christ
I think with great emotion
Of the privilege that many had
To see His face, feel His hand

I would also have the same joy
To see Him up close
Close to me
To look into His serene and gentle eyes
Oh! How happy I would be

I wish I knew what His face was like
Although I feel it was very beautiful
It inspired faith and also trust
And gave everyone endless joy

Seeing the engravings of the painted pictures
Of what they say is my Lord
My being does not accept what is on the canvas
The painter's inspiration is false

I do not believe, I do not believe in a defeated Christ
Full of bitterness, a face of pain
I believe in a Christ with a joyful face
I believe in the victorious Christ

And one day as well
I will see Him face to face
And so I believe through my faith

Oh! Hallelujah, I will see His face
I will see Jesus as He is
Oh! Hallelujah, I will see His face
I will see Jesus as He is
