Is it worth losing?
Por: Pedro Paulo Costa
A certain young man
who had possessions
and he was rich,
desired to hear from Jesus,
what should I do
to inherit life?
And the answer
was that he should
fall apart
of your riches...
But...
He withdrew
very sad...
So,
after that fact
said Jesus
to his disciples,
if anyone wants
go after me,
renounce yourself,
take it upon yourself
your cross and follow me!
This is renunciation,
what Jesus does...
[Chorus]
[What does it mean
resign?
Otherwise abandon
what it was before...
What does Jesus
I wanted to say
was that the renunciation
of yourself,
would be the requirement
for whom
wanted to follow him.]
[Chorus]
[Jesus does not ask us,
to resign
to who we are,
but...
May we
resign
the old man,
to make us
his disciples,
this is the loss
that makes up for it.]
Well then,
abandon
the old me
is essential
so that Jesus may live,
and reign in us...
With this,
when you get lost
in us the old man...
Salvation,
it's free,
mercy,
and forgiveness
are gifts
that Jesus offers us,
and all that
who accepts the loss,
and receives in profit,
the blessing that awaits...
That's the loss,
that makes up for it...
Lose to win,
the life that is in Jesus...
The life he
offers us!...
