The Unsuspected Ones

We must be attentive to the sin of others,

We cannot let anybody falter.

Because there are too many temptations,

We must fortify them with good thoughts and opinions.

 

Many people have no knowledge,

And because of it, they fall into some mistakes.

They think what they do is right,

They do not know that it is a sinful life.

 

These people, we must notify,

That their attitudes are bad and not wise.

Talking that they are living in a lie,

They bring great pains to their lives.

 

To know the true path, they need,

The truths of God, they have to see.

The mistakes in their lives, they must notice,

Away from the mistake, they will live.

 

By knowing the true way,

The people will leave their mistakes.

They will become Lord's beloved ones,

They will have a new life with salvation.

Jesus

Look on high,

Get up your head,

And see that light.

It is the biggest purity that exists,

That one is Jesus!

He has immense power,

And everything He can do.

Look on the sick, it was cured,

The paralyzed one walks,

Jesus makes all this,

For whom love Him.

 

You do not need to be rich,

To be famous or renowned,

Jesus just wants your faith.

And from your heart, He must be adored.

Follow his steps,

And your life will change for the better.

Jesus is the only path,

And good things will give you.

The path seems hard to do,

But it is not!

See to the blessings,

And fortify your faith.

To the Father, you shall obey,

Because for who fear Him.

The victories are coming.

Stay tuned!

Only Jesus is the way, the truth and the life!

Other ways may exist,

But no one has the true light,

That is Jesus!

Who died on the cross for us.

He gave his blood,

And for Him, it was so painful,

He made everything as proof of love.

 

Follow the great shepherd,

To be a winner.

The world wants to deceive you,

Easy and wrong things are shown to do,

Trying to charm you.

Do not fall into this trap!

Because who gets out of the light,

Has great troubles in his life.

 

But if you get out of the light,

For it, you can back again.

Repent of what you made,

And for God, you will be forgiven.

 

With the forgive gained,

Do not go, and get out of the way,

Because the trap is big.

And you cannot escape one day.

Stay always with God,

In the best path.

So, you will smile every day.

Apportioning

If with my brothers I am not apportioning.

It will have no use, even if I have everything,

I will be very rich and lonely,

I will not have anyone with me.

I would be a very selfish person,

Who gives no attention to the needy one.

In an isolated world, I would be living,

I would love only conquered things.

I can seek too many things,

And the brothers, I keep helping.

Then, together, we are enjoying,

Fraternal love, we will be showing.

Jesus taught us to share everything,

So that others could be rejoicing.

Each one cannot be a petty person,

It must care about the lives of everyone.

God himself, shared the salvation,

The sinners and poor, He loved and had consideration.

He showed everyone his great love,

To spread love among the brothers.

The Week

Sunday, I go to church,

I seek God with all my heart,

With many songs and praise.

I come back home feeling curated.

I feel renewed, and the Lord gave me strength.

 

Monday comes and arrives the hardness,

I think, Oh Lord, what a sadness!

Soon, God touched my ways.

And He took my weakness far away.

 

On Tuesday gets close temptation.

Many things are appearing in my life,

They are trying to deviate me from the blessing.

Only God can rid me of that situation.

 

Wednesday is coming!

The troubles are not stopping.

Only God can rid me.

I am praying for Him to rescue me.

 

It is already Thursday, and it is almost ending,

The week, the patience, the peace and tranquility.

Only the fights are not ending.

I try to follow firm and strong,

Because the week is going on.

 

Thank you, God, it is already Friday,

I will go to church today.

I will pray a lot on this day,

I need to be renovated,

Because the week wore me out.

 

Finally, it is Saturday, a resting day,

I will be renovated on this day,

Tomorrow is Sunday, and one new week will start.

With new challenges and fights.

But I will not stop,

I know I have the company of God.

And from evils, He will save me.

Help the Brothers

To help needy brothers is a duty,

It is a good attitude, which the Lord delights in.

When we are helping, the happiness is multiplying,

In unity, the brothers are walking.

There is no way to say everything is right,

When a brother has needs in his life.

The needy, everyone needs to help,

Then is shown the way to love.

A love that desires to protect and care.

It is a pure, true, and sincere way of loving,

A love that gives everything and waits for nothing.

The same love the Lord has for everyone,

One love that does not separate anyone.

It is the love that desires to be in oneness,

May the love come from inwardness.

That makes the rich extend his hand.

To help the brother, instead of receiving payment.

If everyone could help each other,

The sadness among people will be over.

Everyone will have the necessities to survive,

Everyone will have a complete and happy life.

Seasons of Life

Like nature, our life has seasons very distinct,

Some can bring us sadness, but others bring felicity.

If the season is good or bad, we cannot hold on to it,

We always have to believe that a new time and season is coming.

Sometimes, we are in the fall, of a marvelous summer, saying goodbye,

It is no longer as before, for a new season, we are passing by.

The rain of plenty and blessings is decreasing, and the drought is starting,

Those things that we used freely, now we are rationing.

Other times, we are in the winter, when all seems cold, dark, and solitary,

We want to have faith in change, to have faith everything is temporary.

Because the winter gives us hard days to live, hard to do something,

All things seem frozen, there is no strength to develop anything.

We can be in the spring, a beauty transformation, we are trying,

What was lifeless, reborn, the hope in the heart is renewing.

Dark and cold days give way to days full of light and sunny.

We feel alive again, we feel the renovation fully.

In other moments, we are in the summer, with much sun, heat, and rain,

Many things happening at the same time, many victories and fights.

At the same time that a storm arrives; soon the sun shines,

We need a lot of persistence for in all variations, we survive.

Differently from nature, life does not follow the cycle of seasons,

There is no correct order and period to happen the transitions.

We must be always alert to each signal that is received,

Being sure that God will be with us in all periods.

To Trust in Yourself

In the Lord, we must trust,

Because if we trust, He will do everything.

We cannot do anything,

Only the Lord can make all things.

 

God is always observing us,

He sees how much we are fighting,

He knows the reason that we are failing.

It is because, in Him, we are not trusting.

In our strength, we are supporting.

 

The Lord wants to help us,

We must stop fighting to get it,

And to trust only on his mercy.

He will act in our life if we allow it.

A great transformation will begin.

 

Everything that has stopped,

From now on will be freed.

There is nothing that the Lord cannot do.

Even in a desert, He makes a plant grow,

He is God, and He is powerful.

 

You have to make a decision today,

Stop trusting yourself and your ways.

Deliver your life to the Lord,

And wait for his action and favour.

The Holy Spirit

The Lord rose to heaven after He was resurrected.

His beloved ones were not abandoned.

Because the Holy Spirit stayed with us.

Then, He can console us.

And He always can help us.

 

The Holy Spirit is a sweet comforter.

And every day, He increases our love.

He will connect our spirits to God.

Then, intensely, we will praise the Lord.

 

We could know the Holy Spirit.

Then, all the good things of God, we could see.

We could be convinced about the sin.

Because only the love of God has that power.

 

The Holy Spirit is who transforms us.

Only Him can come and change us.

Because He does not come with reason.

He comes with the love of God directly in the heart.

 

If you want the Holy Spirit to dwell in you,

One self-purification is what you have to do,

With much fasting, bible, praise, and prayer.

In this way, God will grace you.

And the Holy Spirit will come upon you.

A Light in the Darkness

Many times, it raises inside of us a sad sensation,

That does not come from anything, it comes with our perception.

We see and perceive all things that are around us,

We stay in anguish thinking about those who are alone.

 

We see news and notice how everything is going bad,

Everything seems natural, we stay a bit sadder.

People do not get amazed by what they see,

For those who have nothing, people have no sensibility.

 

It seems everyone has already accepted the world is ruined,

No one else has the strength to do what is needed.

Each one sees for itself, for its personal needs,

It is as if they are trapped in their greed.

 

A situation like that has to change immediately,

Even if the fight is hard, we have to rise against it.

We have to show this world that a solution exists,

We have to show we are the light that dissipates darkness.

 

And to do this, we already have the most important to start,

We have the Holy Spirit of God to guide us.

In everything we need, the Lord will enable us,

Because He always has a great pleasure to help us.

Gratitude to God

Lord, thank you for my possessions,

I give glory to you for all I have.

The Lord provides everything I need,

Of all confusions, He also rids me.

 

Precious is all things given by the Lord,

Because He gives with much love.

May I always find grace in your eyes,

And the Lord always improves my life.

 

May my life be in the center of your will,

May I have a good and generous heart with everyone,

Then kindness will reign in my life.

 

The goodness is pleasant to the Lord,

Because He is a God with much love.

For everything He does, I will always exalt you,

If I have something, it comes from you.

Deception

Some people can hurt us,

With our feelings, they can play.

About causing destruction, they give no attention,

About our hearts, they have no consideration.

 

Sometimes, we like the wrong person,

We dedicate our lives to the person,

But she does not repay us in anything.

The person always leaves us suffering.

 

Our heart starts to be closed,

We swear hate for all the others.

We say that it is not worth loving anyone,

We think we will be hurt by everyone.

 

There is someone who truly can love us,

That one who gave his life to save each of us,

Even not deserving, He gave us his love,

This is no other if not Jesus, our Lord.

 

God will never disappoint us,

His happiness, He will give us.

He will be with us the whole time.

He will be concerned about your entire life.

 

Do not destroy the love in your life,

Believe: there is God who loves you all the time.

Your life, He always will save,

And forever, He will love you.

The Resurrection

Everyone was very sad about what they saw on Friday,

There were doubts and a bit of uncertainty in the following days.

They had many doubts about what would happen,

They were thinking about what to do, and they stayed gathered.

 

On the first day of the week, his tombstone, three women went to visit him,

They intended to see the Lord again and to perfume his body.

But when they arrived, they had a wonderful and great surprise,

The stone was rolled away, and the Lord, they could not find it.

 

At the place, there was an angel and the great miracle, he announced:

“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He has revived!”

Great was the amazement of those who heard,

They do not believe the Lord Jesus to life has returned.

 

Immediately they came back to the disciples to tell them everything,

But they did not believe it, it seemed like they were raving.

Even with doubts, they went to the place that Jesus indicated,

They were waiting in the mount until the Lord had manifested.

 

This time, the disciples prostrated, and Jesus, they adored,

They concluded it was true what the women told about the Lord.

The Lord Jesus had risen like He had said before has died,

And he showed them. He is the Unique, true, and eternal Christ!

Crucifixion

On that Friday dawn, something important happened,

A friend was going to do one thing, and many lives would be changed.

Even being a friend, he did not hesitate, and with a kiss cheated,

He delivered his friend to those who for a long time desired him condemned.

 

His accusers took him to an unfair and forced judgment,

With some fake witnesses, he was considered worthy of punishment.

He was not even defended by one who said to be his friend,

He negated him many times, saying had never seen that man.

 

They demanded the maximum condemnation, the same for the worst bandits,

They wanted to kill him as an example to those who followed him.

They took him to the governor to confirm the condemnation,

But it was not found any guilty in him, recommending his liberation.

 

But his accusers insisted He should be punished,

And they even demanded in his place a bandit would be released.

He was taken to receive the first part of his punishment,

Humiliation, aggression, to mock the King, a thorn crown on his head.

 

After many aggressions and suffering, they decided to execute his penalty,

They made him go through a way to continue humiliating him.

Even being fragile, a heavy cross they did him carry,

Many who saw him, mocked him, but his followers were weeping.

 

When He arrived at the place, they started a painful crucifixion,

Big iron nails were nailed to his feet and hands.

His accusers continued mocking him again and again,

They continued challenging him to do a miracle in front of them.

 

He stayed in his cross receiving that terrific penalty,

His body was much debilitated and had difficulty living.

Then He said the words that finished with his suffering:

“It is finished”, and at that moment, He gave up his spirit.

The Last Egyptians

The Lord took out his people from Egypt,

Leading them through the desert in a good way.

A pillar of cloud guided them during the day,

At night, it was a pillar of fire to illuminate.

 

The Egyptians tried to follow the people,

There was a big uproar in that land.

The Lord promised that his people would be saved.

They made everything as God has said,

They camped in the place that was indicated,

Waiting for the moment that God would be glorified.

 

Facing the sea, Moses cried out to the Lord,

One great eastern wind was ordered by God.

The sea opened, and they passed on dry land.

The Egyptians also tried to cross the sea with them,

But the Lord made their army gets slow,

After the Israelites, they hardly could go.

 

Through the opened sea, the people of God crossed,

By the water, all Egyptians were covered.

On that day, they knew that God is the Lord.

From the hand of the Egyptians, they were saved by God,

Over the wicked people, his name was glorified.

 

Through the desert, the Israelites kept walking,

Even seeing God's signals, they started to complain.

They complained that they had no food supplying,

Moses cried to the Lord, and the food was provided by Him.

All the people satiated themselves.

 

 

The people were involved in a fight,

Moses went to the hill to pray to the Lord,

The Lord made his people win.

Moses had to keep his hands on high,

Aaron and Hur help him to do it,

And the first battle, they could win.

 

God was the strong arm of Israel,

He cared for his people night and day,

There was nothing they had to fear,

The Lord would protect them from everything.

The Pop Icons

About the Lord, some people are not concerning,

To show their own value is what they are wanting.

Instead of going to every place evangelizing,

With others, how much they will gain, they are disputing.

To save souls is not the prize disputed,

The prize is to be the most famous shepherd.

To be like a celebrity is what the shepherds are wanting,

They are not concerned about the more lives they are gaining.

They buy time on many channels of television,

They do their best to maximize their exhibition.

About their sheep, they start to forget,

With time, they think about the money they will get.

Wealth and power are their targets,

During the services, they start to do a market.

For the faithful, too many products they will show,

Saying that is everything for the work to grow,

But for the church that money will not go.

These men always ask for big offerings,

They always say there will be many blessings.

The humble and salvation gospel, they do not want to preach,

They only want to get money and become rich.

Of these kinds of men, you must keep away,

Seek those who preach the truth every day.

Instead of the pop icon, prefer that humble shepherd,

Because through Jesus’ humility, we were saved.

Freedom

I am free to adore you,

I am free to praise you.

I am free to glorify you,

I am free to love you.

 

Thank you, Lord, for this freedom.

I can do everything for Thee.

There is nothing that can stop me.

On your side, I can be.

 

One day, the Lord freed me,

Of the world, He separated me.

His glory, He showed me.

His love came and touched me.

 

About the sin, the Holy Spirit convinced me.

Of my mistakes, my soul regretted it.

Now, I am one of your beloved ones.

I love and praise you, the unique God, the Holy One.

Like Us

If Jesus were like us and had our emotions,

He only would think about himself and not his companions.

Jesus would not leave home every day of his life to preach,

He would prefer to stay relaxed at home on his couch.

 

If He were like us, He would want to be in modernity,

He would buy an expensive phone and would not help the needy.

Jesus would work only to buy what is fashionable,

He would not give any money to the good works.

 

If Jesus were like us, He would not leave Facebook,

He would share pictures showing his tunic and new look.

He would stay on WhatsApp talking with everybody,

But He would not go to the city to cure anybody.

 

If He were like us, He would judge all people around him,

In his speech, He would not think if the word is injuring.

He never would accept when someone would ask for forgiveness,

Instead, He would stay resentful and would keep it in his heart.

 

If Jesus were like us, to save us, He would not die,

He would keep quiet, for the bad people, He would not sacrifice.

If He were like us, Jesus neither would come to this world,

Because He would not want to live here with too many absurd.

 

But... Jesus is not like us, He is incredible,

Even if we do not deserve it, He loves his people.

The first concern of Christ is caring about the herd,

To preach, He did not think about distance or what will be earned.

 

Jesus is so marvellous that He gave himself because of love,

Jesus is so marvellous that He chose us to save.

Jesus is so marvellous that He forgives when people mistake,

Jesus is so marvellous that He will lead us to eternal life.

Liberation Came From the Lord

By a perverse pharaoh, they were enslaved,

He only fed them with crumbs and dust.

All of them were massacred.

For the Egyptians, they made statues,

In hard work, they were forced.

 

The Lord has changed that story,

With Moses and Aaron, He made a covenant.

Talking to them about good liberty,

Ridding them of slavery and torment.

 

Many have believed in their words and followed them,

Moses spoke to the pharaoh the word of the Lord,

Begging for the liberty of their people,

But, the heart of the pharaoh has hardened.

The much-dreamed departure has not happened.

 

In that land, God made signals and wonders,

Even so, the pharaoh did not believe.

He had magicians and many things they did.

 

Then, a big plague, God sent,

Killing all firstborns of the whole land,

Ridding only the Hebrews of this evil.

After that, the pharaoh feared them,

The late and dreamed departure, he gave them.

 

The Hebrews were getting out of Egypt,

They were almost out, but a pursuit started,

Many chariots and riders were going to them.

 

The Lord freed them again,

Opening the sea for them to pass through,

All sons of Israel have passed.

When in the sea, the Egyptians entered,

Then, by the Lord, the sea was closed.

All riders, they have seen die in the sea.

One great deliverance like that, only the Lord gives.

Bizarre Service

Many churches do a bizarre service,

People are falling everywhere; it is a confusing service.

It seems there is no order or decency,

People cry out in loud voices without any reverence.

 

The pastors say that everything is part of the “supernatural”,

The church does not follow God's word, but the emotional.

For them, the important is everyone falling on the ground,

This is the signal the “spirit” is pouring his unction out.

 

The church turns into a ridiculous thing with this “unction”,

The people stay in a trance, and this is not a biblical direction.

Other people fall and begin to cry, yell, and flounce,

Seeing this, many people will ask, is God in this place?

 

According to the word of the Lord, He is not in confusion,

The Lord dwells in each one in a rational service with adoration.

The service pleasing to the Lord happens with gentleness,

The Holy Spirit will come to all hearts in calmness.

 

The Holy Spirit will talk about what each one needs to hear,

With his gentle and soft voice, He gives strength to the tired.

This order and decency make the Lord's heart pleased,

With a decent worshipping, his presence will always be here.

Preaching at Any Cost

Unfortunately, most of the churches invented a new “god”,

It is a mixing of pagan gods with the Jews' God.

It is a new god, a modern, different, and rewarding god,

The statements of people are obeyed by this god.

 

For the followers of this god, salvation is the last thing,

In faithful people's lives, the unique matter is to profit and gain.

Inside their churches, they do not say words like love and help,

The unique thing they teach is the believer must prosper.

 

They are close to God with their lips, but in their hearts, they negate Him,

Everyone has already forgotten the sacrifice of Christ for salvation.

Some of them are practically selling the Lord's Grace,

They extort faithful people saying that Heaven is for those who pay.

 

And when someone talks against them, he is considered an apostate,

Those who defend the word of God are not considered.

Nobody can rise and talk against the Lord's “anointed”,

They even say the leader is there because God put him.

And only the Lord can judge and condemn him.

 

Lord God! Following this way, where are we going?

There are many lies, and the unbelievers do not believe in anything.

The false masters are leading people to destruction,

Lord, raise true people, people after your heart's intentions.

People who only talk the words said and taught by the Lord,

People full of the Holy Spirit to testify the coming of the Savior.

Anxious Await

Many people want anxiously to meet you,

They wait for the great day when they will see you.

They are desirous for the moment they will contemplate you,

Everyone is waiting for someone to proclaim your name.

 

Those who wait so long are those who are lost,

Their souls have a strong desire for Christ's love.

Their souls get thirsty, and want to pray and adore you,

For them to do this, they need someone to preach about you.

 

They need someone to introduce the gospel to them,

Someone who takes God's word seriously like a commitment.

One person who talks only the words of the Lord,

One evangelist, one person separated by God.

 

All those who were baptized already are good evangelists,

They need to do their role in the gospel, being preachers.

For all places, they must announce the message of the Lord,

Giving the lost ones the opportunity to meet their Savior.

 

When everyone meets the Saviour, new people will be,

The desire to evangelize will be one thing wholeheartedly.

This desire makes the newly converted go to preach,

For everyone, the love of Jesus Christ, He wants to spread.

God Works to Save

The Lord makes everything to the people change,

He sends many prophets and his truth, they proclaim.

God shows signals and wonders for people to believe,

For people to notice and repent, God makes all of it.

 

The Lord wants his sons to come back to his ways,

God is merciful and does not want them alone and far away.

He knows that alone they cannot be saved,

And He makes everything so they change their bad ways.

 

Even with so much love, many people stay walking lost,

They have already heard, but they do not believe in this love.

They think the great love of God is only another invention,

They believe there is no God and there is no compassion.

 

With this thought, they keep practicing big sins,

They think they will be rewarded for their abominations.

They have a strong idea that there will never be a condemnation,

And they convince other people that God is an illusion.

 

In the past, this behavior against God has already been seen,

The people of Israel did not believe nor repent of their sins.

For a long time, the Lord stopped his hand and indignation,

He always gave a new opportunity to that nation.

 

Even the Lord being pious and not wanting to punish them,

They did not hear, and his wrath, God began to put on them.

Many people died by the sword, by the plague, and by famine,

The Lord showed that one should trust in Him and not in men.

One Flock and the Wolves

The whole flock wants to be led to the Creator,

Every one of them wants to be led to the Lord.

The sheep do not want to walk alone and scattered,

They know the flock needs a good leader.

 

Knowing this need of the flock, the wolves will infiltrate,

The flock will trust them because of the good words they will say.

The poor little sheep do not know they are following the evil,

None of them sees that the path followed is mortal.

 

The wolves lead the flock, getting it out of the Lord's light,

These leeches are devouring the Creator's people's lives.

They do the sheep donate even its last wool lint,

The wolves promise if they donate, a good future is coming.

 

The sheep with little knowledge believe in everything,

They think their wolf-shepherd is the best in the world.

They cannot notice they are walking to the butchery,

They do not notice they eat grass and the wolf-shepherd, the best things.

 

For these sheep, there is only one chance to survive,

The good shepherd has to come and clean their eyes.

One shepherd that will be sent by the Lord, a lovely shepherd,

One shepherd who cares about the flock and will not lead it to death.

New Doctrines

Some people do everything and claim they are preaching,

They say the name of Jesus they have to proclaim.

They do not matter about the way they will announce it,

They do not think they will evangelize or ridicule it.

 

This preaching at any cost deviates from the truth,

Non-believers do not see a real gospel in what they do.

It seems the preacher wants to promote himself,

Many preachers do not matter if they corrupt the gospel.

 

They mix the gospel with all kinds of abominations, 

They introduce things of paganism into the Christian religion.

The preachers promote some parties and many events,

Many of them are very lost, and they build and love monuments.

 

To justify themselves, they use some texts from the Bible,

But they use them incorrectly because they are distorted.

When someone questions, they say they must reply to the Lord,

They do not accept any people to be their mentors.

 

The faithful people follow everything with big naturalness,

Without noticing, they participate in much wickedness.

Some of them know they are practicing the wrong things,

They do not go away because they were not freed of the sin.

 

To stop this aberration, it is needed to come back to simplicity,

Always studying the scriptures and analyzing every novelty.

Only in this way, it is possible to preach in the way that Christ taught,

Knowing his word, we will know who was sent by the Lord.

Vanity

One day, the master wrote: everything is vanity.

Many read this word, but in this truth, they do not believe it.

They observe the vanity only in the act of becoming attractive,

They do not pay attention, and everywhere there is vanity.

If you did not notice, read to begin to see it.

 

There is vanity when someone buys something new to show themselves,

They purchase what they do not need for others to envy them.

If they see someone with some good, they buy another better,

They do it only to create inferiority feelings in their brother.

 

The unique thing the other sees in the person is their appearance,

In all places they are, the person wants to show themselves,

The person always wants everyone to notice they are there.

In all kinds of events or situations, they must get attention,

They need to be seen and increase their self-appreciation.

 

The person tries to show herself even in the house of God,

They do everything in the church to have an opportunity at the altar.

The desire to be on the altar is not to praise and exalt the Lord,

The person desires to go there for everyone to see them,

They want to be seen by people, then, they have reasons to praise them.

 

After this quick reading, you have noticed where the vanity is.

Even where there should be a place to praise and adore, it does exist.

The selfishness controlling the heart is the root of the vanity,

Everyone always wants to satisfy themselves in their living.

 

Nothing satiates those who live in vanities,

They will desire everything and will never get it.

These people are far from the words of the Lord,

Their hearts have deviated, and they do not serve God.

They should remember the words said by Jesus Christ,

The best to do is to serve others during your Christian life.

One Blessing

Oh, Lord! I am a big sinner,

I am not worthy of your infinite grace.

But even with all my mistakes,

The high One came and blessed me.

 

There was not a small blessing.

The greater one has come in my life.

One blessing with the taste of victory,

At the perfect moment, it came and changed my history.

 

A history of weeping and supplications.

Weeping poured almost all day.

Tireless supplications, your favour, I was seeking.

Many times, I asked You, your grace, I was waiting.

 

In the day of my anguish and desperation, I was blessed.

A great and unexpected blessing came to me.

The supplication has heard, the weep was dried.

Now with the great blessing, I am in a new life.

The Lion of the Tribe of Judah

The Lion of the tribe of Judah.

Sat down in magnificent throne is it.

With quick eyes, He contemplates everything.

Your power and strength are without limits.

 

Your majestic is very great,

With his imposing roar, the evil was chased away.

And with his claws, Satan is smashed,

Letting him down on the ground and humiliated.

 

For whom are faithful, He protects with his right hand,

Fight all kinds of battles for them.

Getting away from all evils, all wrath, all envy,

Throwing away all bad things.

 

In your throne, I do my refugee,

In your shadow, I rest and have peace.

Waiting for the day of your glory,

Doing my heart meek.

The Great Victory

On the day when I go the paradise,

I can see the face of the Lord, my Father.

I will contemplate his infinite glory,

I will be in my great victory.

 

A victory in Jesus Christ,

Living in the purer light.

Fulfilling the greatest promise:

To gain an eternal living.

 

An eternally, beautiful and marvellous life,

Living in a celestial residence,

I am feeling your majestic presence.

 

Eternal majestic, splendid and perfect.

On which in my life reigned,

And in eternity, delight me.
