É Assim Que Eu Te Amo

I love you more than the bee loves the flower
I love you, and how strong is my love
I love you more than everything, more than life, that is within me
I love you and nothing overcomes this love that has no end
I love you because you exchanged my burden for the cross
This is how I love you, Jesus

I love you more than a prisoner longs to see
All the light of freedom, and live like that
I love you more than the sailor loves the homeland that left him
More than a poor exile loves the ground that despised him
I love you more than a blind person can desire the light
This is how I love you, Jesus
