Cristo Me Buscou

Representative Text

1 Na densa escuridão vaguei,
Mas Cristo me buscou,
E Sua resplendente luz
As trevas dissipou.

Refrain:
Resplendente brilha a Sua luz;
Para a glória Cristo me conduz.
Ele resgatou-me e não me deixará,
Pois a Sua forte mão me guardará.

2 Andando na divina luz,
Eu gozo comunhão
Com meu Senhor e Salvador
Que me dá proteção.

3 As negras nuvens podem vir
E a vista se ofuscar,
Mas hei de ter a vera luz
Pra sempre me guiar.

4 Espero ver meu Salvador,
Que Se entregou por mim,
E face a face ali no céu
O louvarei sem fim.
