Representative Text

1. Rude cruz se erigiu, dela o dia fugiu,
Como emblema de afronta e de dor.
Mas contemplo essa cruz: foi ali que Jesus
Deu a vida por mim, pecador.

Estribilho:
Sim, eu amo a mensagem da cruz!
’Té morrer eu a vou proclamar.
Levarei eu também minha cruz,
’Té por uma coroa trocar!

2. Desde a glória do Céus, o Cordeiro de Deus
Ao Calvário humilhante baixou;
Essa cruz tem, p’ra mim, atrativos sem-fim:
Porque nela Jesus me salvou. [Estribilho]

3. Lá na cruz padeceu, desprezado morreu
Meu Jesus, para dar-me o perdão;
DEle agora provém para mim todo o bem,
Tenho nEle real salvação. [Estribilho]
