A Alegria (part. Vanilda Bordieri)

Church because you love justice
And hate iniquity
You were anointed, with the oil of joy

The world doesn't understand
And cannot comprehend
How the church prevails
And keeps growing
In the beginning there were twelve
Now there are more than millions
If it's just madness
How does it convince crowds

On the cross with His blood Christ
Wrote the story
And the empty tomb is the answer

Because this people fight and do not tire
Because nothing kills their hope
Because they do not surrender to persecutors
And glorifying, they face the pains
Because they do not remain silent even when imprisoned
They contemplate the glory even when stoned
And what keeps the church firm in the war
Is that it is here, but not of the earth

The joy of the church is to worship God
Is to feel His glory anywhere
Is to bring to earth the sound that is from heaven
Our joy is to feel our God

The joy of the church is to make God happy
Is to know that He is in the midst of the church
Our joy is to shine His light
Is to radiate His glory Jesus

Because this people fight and do not tire
Because nothing kills their hope
Because they do not surrender to persecutors
And glorifying, they face the pains
Because they do not remain silent even when imprisoned
They contemplate the glory even when stoned
And what keeps the church firm in the war
Is that it is here, but not of the earth

The joy of the church is to worship God
Is to feel His glory anywhere
Is to bring to earth the sound that is from heaven
Our joy is to feel our God

The joy of the church is to make God happy
Is to know that He is in the midst of the church
Our joy is to shine His light
Is to radiate His glory Jesus

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Our joy is to worship You
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Our joy is to worship You

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Our joy is to worship You
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Our joy is to worship You
