The Birth

Two thousand years ago, something very special happened,

In a small town, Bethlehem, a child was born.

It was not a usual birth,

It was the greatest event in the history of the Earth.

 

One new star came to enlighten the world.

It was Jesus Christ, our Lord.

He came to teach us the truth.

The truth is that only He can save us!

 

God has sent Him to free us.

We are freed from eternal death through Jesus,

He forgives all our transgressions,

Then, with God, we have a true connection.

 

All praise and glory be given to the Lord,

Even though we are flawed, He loved us.

Giving his only son to rescue us,

He has paid a very high price,

To do the will of the Father.

Forgiveness at the Last Hour

On your side, I was been crucified,

I was a bandit condemned.

I had no hope about anything,

I was only sure that my death was coming.

 

Nothing would change for me,

Of the condemnation, I could not flee.

They will put to end my life,

I thought no one could save me at that time.

 

On my side, I saw a lord.

Some people called him Saviour,

And others charged him as an evildoer.

I saw something different in that man.

Even if being crucified,

He did not abandon his love for them.

 

I gave attention to this man,

I felt he was not an ordinary man,

He seemed to be a great king!

I said, ‘Lord, remember me,

When in your kingdom you to get in,’

And from him came the answer:

‘Today in paradise, you will be with me.’

 

My hope was revived,

Something good, that man promised,

He did not want to condemn me,

He preferred to forgive and save me.

 

For the glory of Christ, I am going,

I will be together with the great King,

Because my soul pleased Him,

He forgave me for all my sins,

To thee, I deliver my spirit, Lord.

To eternal life, I will go with you.
