Carta de Alforria
Suellen Lima
Emancipation Letter
What was evil took away from me
And what condemned me, Jesus put an end to
It weighed on my shoulders
From an innocent the sin that was mine
It was on the cross, yes on the cross
It was dispelled through Jesus
All my mistakes remained
Nailed there on the cross
And the shame that was stamped on me
And the impure cloak that covered my being
For so long you have kept me away from God
It was torn on the cross through the blood of Jesus
The shackles were broken
The chains, the handcuffs too
The eternal prison that awaited me
It was undone, destroyed there
I am free
It was there on the cross
That Jesus bought
Every mistake that was mine, Jesus paid
It was there on the cross that Jesus took
The letter of manumission set me free
I am free, free, free
All my mistakes remained
Nailed there on the cross
And the shame that was stamped on me
And the impure cloak that covered my being
For so long you have kept me away from God
It was torn on the cross through the blood of Jesus
The shackles were broken
The chains, the handcuffs too
The eternal prison that awaited me
It was undone, destroyed there
I am free
It was there on the cross
That Jesus bought
Every mistake that was mine, Jesus paid
It was there on the cross that Jesus took
The letter of manumission set me free
It was there on the cross
That Jesus bought
Every mistake that was mine Jesus paid
It was there on the cross that Jesus took
The letter of manumission set me free
I am free, free, free
It was there on the cross
That Jesus bought
Every mistake that was mine Jesus paid
It was there on the cross that Jesus took
The letter of manumission set me free
I am free, free, free
I am free, freedom I have now
I am free, free, free
I am free
