A Cruz
Eliane Fernandes
The Cross
My mother, the simple Maria
Raised me with so much joy, and I thinking about the cross
Joseph was a good carpenter
Teaching me how to work the wood, and I thinking about the cross
As a boy in the temple teaching
And the masters asking me, and I thinking about the cross
John the Baptist baptizing in the river
And the Spirit resting on me, and I thinking about the cross
I walked on water, multiplied bread and fish
And showed my light to the blind
With each miracle I was closer to the cross
I resurrected the dead, purified the lepers
Freed the captives
With each miracle I was closer to the cross!
So finally I faced it, face to face with the cross
My Father made the promise, to fulfill I set out
All the time I knew, that on the cross that day, I would have to die
And today here I am, face to face with you
I'm looking into your eyes, I came here to tell you
Don't be afraid, I am Jesus
When I thought about the cross, I was thinking about you!
I walked on water, multiplied bread and fish
And showed my light to the blind
With each miracle I was closer to the cross
I resurrected the dead, purified the lepers
Freed the captives
With each miracle I was closer to the cross!
So finally I faced it, face to face with the cross
My Father made the promise, to fulfill I set out
All the time I knew, that on the cross that day, I would have to die
And today here I am, face to face with you
I'm looking into your eyes, I came here to tell you
Don't be afraid, I am Jesus
When I thought about the cross, I was thinking about you!
Don't be afraid, I am Jesus
When I thought about the cross, I was thinking about you!
