Representative Text

1. Sem Cristo, eu nada seria,
Sem Cristo, eu não sei andar;
Sem Cristo, eu vagaria
Qual barquinho, no imenso mar.

Estribilho:
Cristo, só Cristo!
Queres, hoje, aceitar
Esse Amigo sem-par?
Só Cristo, só Cristo!
Sem Ele, não há salvação.

2. Sem Cristo, eu morreria,
Sem Cristo, eu preso estou;
Sem Cristo, eu desistiria.
Mas, com Ele, livre e salvo sou. [Estribilho]
