Eu Fui Chamado Por Jesus

I heard it said that not long ago
Our brothers in faith, before cruel kings
Were forced to choose
Renounce their faith, or die
And one by one they gave in
For they could not deny their Lord
And in the cold chill of this place
I can almost hear their voices echoing:

I was called by Jesus
And I gave my heart
I will also carry my cross
I was called by Jesus

The years come and go, and time has passed
But His cause, no, it hasn’t died
Now it’s our turn to embrace the cross
Renounce the world and follow Jesus
And one by one we will give in
Our whole lives laid down on this altar
For when the heavens open, and the trumpet sounds
We’ll be together, shouting

I was called by Jesus
And I gave my heart
I will also carry my cross
I was called by Jesus

For my Jesus who heard my cry
And in my place bore my pain
I will also carry my cross

I was called by Jesus
I was called by Jesus
And I gave my heart
I will also carry my cross
I was called by Jesus
