1 Como contar de Deus o amor,
Que o Filho amado ao mundo deu?
Quem poderá sondar a dor
Que meu Jesus, na cruz, sofreu?

Refrain:
Quero adorar ao meu Senhor
Por Seu divino e santor amor!
Quero adorar ao meu Senhor
Por Seu divino e santor amor!

2 Oh, que mistério singular:
Jesus morrer por mim, um réu!
O próprio Deus aqui baixar
Pra me levar da terra ao céu!

3 Era Senhor, mas quis servir!
Maravilhoso o Seu amor!
Tudo pagou, pra redimir
A mim, indigno pecador!

4 Os meus grilhões Jesus quebrou
Com Sua poderosa mão!
Por Seu poder me libertou,
Não vivo mais na escravidão.

5 Condenação não temerei:
De Cristo sou e Cristo é meu!
É meu Pastor, Senhor e Rei,
Com Ele irei gozar no céu!

In 1726 Charles Wesley was elected to a Westminster studentship at Christ Church, Oxford, where he took his degree in 1729, and became a college tutor. In the early part of the same year his religious impressions were much deepene… Go to person page >

SAGINA borrows its name from a genus of the pink family of herbs, which includ…
