Verse 1 In the first century, under a sky of promise, Jerusalem watched over the holy altars. The chosen people walked in wisdom, Following the Law of the original times. Circumcision, rites, and temples, Traced the path and the ancient rigor, Guiding footsteps by noble examples, Engraving the commandments in the heart. Chorus Praise to you Jéhovah,Source of all life! Your love breaks the shadow and the night. No more whispers, no more retreat's tears, It is Jesus Christ who guides us today! Through his offering and infinite grace, Our hearts rise, washed of all noise. Verse 2 But the light took on a new face, When the ancient veil finally tore. The blood of bulls fades at the tomb, The perfect sacrifice has entered! It is impossible for animal blood To erase our faults and our heavy burdens; Jesus has conquered the power of evil, Opening new, beautiful horizons for all. Chorus Praise to you Jéhovah,Source of all life! Your love breaks the shadow and the night. No more whispers, no more retreat's tears, It is Jesus Christ who guides us today! Through his offering and infinite grace, Our hearts rise, washed of all noise. Verse 3 What a change for these hearts accustomed To bearing the yoke of old traditions! Even the greatest have sometimes faltered, Faced with the fresh wind of redemption. But by his will, we are sanctified, By his body offered once for all. Our doubts fly away, our steps are guided, The Spirit enlightens us and chases away doubt. Chorus Praise to you Jéhovah,Source of all life! Your love breaks the shadow and the night. No more whispers, no more retreat's tears, It is Jesus Christ who guides us today! Through his offering and infinite grace, Our hearts rise, washed of all noise. Outro Once for all... grace has spoken. No more vain shadows, heaven is veiled With a pure love that never fades. Let us walk together, hearts full of cheer, Toward the light... and freedom.
