One day, we walked spread.
Each one followed its way.
There was no help or company.
Following alone; it was a sad destiny.
Even being disunited, many had hope.
Waiting for something new and renewed.
The faith kept them firm and safe.
For a new alliance, they were waiting,
That One who would come from the Lord.
At the right time, He came,
Many people recognized and loved Him.
But others just despised Him.
They did not believe in his wonders and signals,
And they even tried to catch Him in many traps.
But what strength does the man have against the Lord?
What can do against the Lord a man full of sins?
They could not do anything to stop Him.
Jesus walked, healed, taught, and rescued.
The faith of his disciples was increased.
Among those who believe, one failed.
For a bit of money, his Lord, he delivered.
The Just One, the Son of Man was oppressed!
Like one innocent sheep, to the slaughter, He was led.
He received a terrible and painful punishment there.
Over Him, there was no condemnation.
His judges did not find any guilt in his accusations.
But “wise people” did not accept,
They led him to be crucified.
On that cross were paid the sins,
My, yours, and of all of us.
With extreme sacrifice, the debt was paid.
The souls of poor sinners were saved.
After the pain and suffering, He has expired.
At that moment, something great happened.
The earth shook, and the curtain of the temple was torn,
In all places had restlessness,
The sky had darkened.
For that one who died, there was much weeping.
After three days, God rescued Him.
By the angels, the stone was rolled,
The only and beloved son, God, resurrected.
For his people, He showed himself, and He was acknowledged,
Then, the faithful people saw the power of God.
The victory over death, Jesus got.
