Sete Palavras
Pedro Bento e Zé da Estrada
Seven Words
God loved this world so much
The world did not respond
Then God sent the prophets
But nobody obeyed
God sent his own son
But nobody knew
When he wandered
There was a door that closed when he knocked
To save humanity
Our Lord was born
Thirty-three years old
In this world he lived
God of infinite goodness
He pitied the world
He gave his own life
To gather the beloved sheep
That was lost from the flock
At the time of the holy supper
He kissed the feet of his disciples
Then he spoke
You do as I do
I'm going to my father's house
Where we came from
One of you will betray me
Even Pedro will pretend he never knew me
He raised his eyes to the sky
He took the bread and blessed it
This bread is my body
Each disciple ate
This wine is my blood
Each disciple drank
Judas shot to the ground
That piece of bread
He left the table and ran
30 Silver Coins
That's how much he received
In the olive grove
He took a soldier and arrested him
Jesus arrested and bound
He remained silent
After so much mistreatment
They already shouted to Pilate
Crucify the Galilean
At the time of his death
The earth turned pale
It thundered from south to north
All of Judea trembled
The veil of the temple was torn
Pilate repented
One smiled, the other cried
Jesus said these words
There on the cross he died
Father, forgive them
They don't know what they're doing
Father, into your hands I commend my spirit
It is finished
It is finished
