Quero Aprender a Amar

Lord, I'm tired
Of trying to win by my own strength
I fall and get up, even weaker
Sometimes I feel like a winner
But what victory is this of mine?
I stumble on the same mistakes
The more I promise not to fall
In the midst of my torment
I look at the cross and see
That Christ became fragile there
To be a winner!

I want to learn to love
I want to trust in You
And know that I don't need to fight anymore
I want to learn to love
Have Christ by my side
And feel the peace in depending on You
And if I am without strength
I will go calmly, for with you I am learning to love

One day I heard that I should win
And trying to fight, I felt disillusioned
Because I didn't feel happy
I fought and promised to change
I was frustrated to see myself falling even more
Then I understood, in a somewhat confused way, I fought
Against the evil that only the cross has already defeated
For it is enough to trust, accept You, hold Your hand
And not let go for a single moment
