Representative Text

Seu excelso amor por mim.
Tão imenso como o Céu,
Veio dar-me vida, enfim.

[Estribilho:] Cantarei do amor de Deus,
Sem cessar O louvarei;
Sua morte me salvou,
Cantarei do Seu amor.

2. Antes de eu poder chorar,
Cristo já por mim pranteou;
Antes de eu poder orar,
Na angústia Ele orou. [Estribilho]

3. Se por Ele nada fiz,
Como pôde amar-me então?
Quero meu amor provar,
E entregar-Lhe o coração. [Estribilho]
