Cresça (part. Leandro Borges)

Lord, I don’t want to be a prisoner of myself
Come save me
Even if I’m someone
I won’t boast about it

I crucify my ego
So you can grow over me
I empty myself of my ideals
I want to overflow more of you

Lord, hide me in your grace
And in your love
Hide me in caves if necessary
I don’t want to be in the spotlight
If it’s not for your glory and your praise

Lord, shielded in your truth
Is my heart
My fascination is beyond the crowd
I reject Babylon, its delicacies
The altars of corruption

Grow!
Until my self disappears
Until your glory covers me
I want your presence exuding in me
That I may decrease and you may grow

Let your name be
Always in the spotlight
And your glory remain forever
Lord, let me decrease
And your glory go beyond me

Let you grow in our praises
And the reckless desire
For fame disappear

Let the truth of the gospel grow
In our preaching
And the desire to self-promote
Through ministry vanish

Let the masks of the temple fall
And God’s sovereignty be seen

Let the spotlights
On the human ego fade
And the name of Christ be honored

Let the stages of revenge
Come crashing down
And let altars of worship be raised

Let it not be just lip service!
But let the declaration be sincere
Let our self disappear
And let you grow in this song!

Grow!
Until my self disappears
Until your glory covers me
I want your presence exuding in me
That I may decrease and you may grow

Let your name be
Always in the spotlight
And your glory remain forever
Lord, let me decrease
And your glory go beyond me

From dust, from clay you formed man
Made in your hands, noble creator
They have nothing, they possess nothing, they are nothing
You are the pen, the author of the song

Neither fame, nor stage, nor honor, nor applause
Translate the price on the cross that was paid
(The renunciation exists, it goes against the flow)
We are just the voice
That announces salvation

Treasures in jars of clay
So that the excellence is yours
Shining the beacon and being your light
In the darkest streets

No one steals your glory
No one takes your throne
Woe to those who meddle
And trade delicacies for honor, you own the church

Let your name be lifted high
Let justice and your kingdom come
Let the glory on the cross confront
The mighty and make them fall to their knees

We are the brush, only you are the artist
That I may decrease and you may grow

Grow!

Grow!
Until my self disappears
Until your glory covers me
I want your presence exuding in me
That I may decrease and you may grow

Let your name be
Always in the spotlight
And your glory remain forever
Lord, let me decrease
And your glory go beyond me

Grow!
Until my self disappears
Until your glory covers me
I want your presence exuding in me
That I may decrease and you may grow

Let your name be
Always in the spotlight
And your glory remain forever
Lord, let me decrease
And your glory go beyond me

Beyond me
Grow!
