Habita Em Mim

Representative Text

1 Habita em mim na dura tentação;
Senhor habita em mim na escuridão.
Quando os amigos de mim fugir,
Sozinho estou, Senhor vem me acudir.

2 Nós somos pó, mas estamos aqui;
Com alegria pra louvar a Ti;
Tudo não passa de ostentação;
Jesus não muda Sua criação.

3 Oh Senhor Jesus vem por mim olhar;
Certo estou que vou contigo andar,
Fiel Senhor, liberdade sem fim.
Não quero perecer, habita em mim!

4 Com o Rei dos reis, na Luz viverei,
Pois em Suas asas seguro estarei,
De toda dor e toda aflição,
Jesus nos salva e muda o coração.

5 Eu era jovem; Tu por mim sorria;
Mas cruel e mau eu permanecia,
Jesus não me deixou até o fim,
E até chegar ao céu, habita em mim!

6 Todos os dias lado a lado andar.
Com Sua graça o mal afastar.
Quem senão Jesus pode nos guiar?
Só Ele pode a chuva e o sol criar!

7 Eu não receio nem o malfeitor;
Não tenho medo do perigo ou dor.
Jesus a morte Ele venceu, sim!
Jesus triunfou e habita em mim!

8 Senhor me ajude a carregar a cruz;
Brilha na sombra e mostre-me Sua Luz.
O amanhã em breve terá fim;
Vida ou morte Ele habita em mim!
