O cego de jerico

Bartimaeus, the blind
(Chagas Sobrinho)

One time Jesus was passing by
In Jericho to preach peace.
And there was to beg,
The blind Bartimaeus who began to cry out:

(Chorus)
Have mercy, have mercy son of David,
The blind man cried out unable to resist.
Have mercy, have mercy son of David,
Bartimaeus shouted for Jesus to hear.

And those who passed by rebuked him,
To silence the one who could not see.
But Bartimaeus was not deterred,
Because the blind man insisted more and more

(Chorus)
Have mercy, have mercy son of David,
The blind man cried out unable to resist.
Have mercy, have mercy son of David,
Bartimaeus shouted for Jesus to hear.

And Jesus stopped and sent for
That man who was shouting.
And someone calling told him to take heart,
Come here, the Master is calling you!

(Chorus)
Have mercy, have mercy son of David,
The blind man cried out unable to resist.
Have mercy, have mercy son of David,
Bartimaeus shouted for Jesus to hear.

And the blind man approaching, Jesus asked him:
“What do you want me to do?” And he said to him:
“That I may see”, Jesus replied to him:
“Go, oh Bartimaeus”, your faith has saved you!

(Chorus)
Have mercy, have mercy, son of David,
The blind man cried out unable to resist.
Have mercy, have mercy, son of David,
Bartimaeus shouted for Jesus to hear.

If you also want to be a child of light,
Start crying out for Christ Jesus.
He is the way, He guides you,
Cry out for the one who died on the cross.

(Chorus)
Have mercy, have mercy, son of David,
The blind man cried out unable to resist.
Have mercy, have mercy, son of David,
Bartimaeus shouted for Jesus to hear.
