OH MARAVILHOSA CRUZ

versão de um calipso vivo  "Quando examino a Maravilhosa Cruz"
 por Isaac Watts e Ralph Merrifield

 

Quando examino a maravilhosa cruz

Na qual o Príncipe de Glória morreu,

Meu maior ganho como perda eu pus,

E com desprezo, todo orgulho meu.

 

Coro:

Oh a maravilhosa cruz (Oh a maravilhosa cruz)

Fonte de vida pra mim

Jesus pagou o preço (Jesus pagou o preço)

Livrando este pecador! 

 

Proíba, Senhor, que venha me gabar,

Salvo na cruz de Cristo, meu Deus!

Todas coisas vãs eu venha colocar,

Eu ao Seu sangue sacrificar.

 

(coro)

 

Veja de Sua cabeça, Suas mãos, Seus pés,

Tristeza e amor se fundem!

Amor e tristeza houve tal encontro?

Ou espinhos tão rica coroa compõem?

 

(coro 2x)

 

Era todo reino de minha natureza,

Que é um tributo longe de pequeno,

Amor tão sublime, tão divino,

Exige minha alma, minha vida, meu tudo.

 

(coro 2x)

 

Ele este pecador livrou, oh

Ele este pecador livrou, oh

Ele este pecador livrou, oh!!!

OH THE WONDROUS CROSS 

lively calypso version of 
"When I Survey The Wondrous Cross" 
by Isaac Watts e Ralph Merrifield

 

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

 

Chorus:
Oh the wondrous cross (Oh the wondrous cross)
Source of life to me
Jesus paid the cost (Jesus paid the cost)
To set this sinner free !

 

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the cross of Christ, my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

 

(chorus)

 

See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet?
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

(chorus 2x)

 

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a tribute far too small,
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

 

(chorus 2x)

 

He set this sinner free, oh

He set this sinner free, oh

He set this sinner free!!!
