Sempre Que Eu Leio
Mensageiros de Cristo
Whenever I Read
Whenever I read the story of Christ
I think with great emotion
Of the privilege that many had
To see his face, feel his hand
I would also have the same joy
To see him up close, right next to me
And look into his serene and gentle eyes
Oh, how happy I would be
I wanted to know what his face was like
Although I feel it was very beautiful
Inspiring faith and also trust
And giving everyone infinite joy
And when I see the pictures in the painted frames
What they say is my Lord
My being does not accept what is on the canvas
And the painter's inspiration is false
I do not believe, I do not believe, in a defeated Christ
Full of bitterness, a face of pain
I believe in a Christ with a joyful face
I believe in a victorious Christ
And one day I will also see him face to face
And so I believe through my faith
Oh, hallelujah I will see his face
I will see Jesus as he is
