You Were There

I wonder how it must have felt
Penso em como deve ter sido a sensação
When David stood to face Goliath on a hill
Quando Davi enfrentou Golias num monte:
I imagine that he shook with all his might
Eu imagino que ele tremeu diante de toda sua força,
Until You took his hand, and held on tight
Até que Tu tomaste sua mão, e seguraste firme;

‘Cause You were there, You were there
Pois estavas lá, Tu estavas lá
In the midst of danger’s snare
Em meio à armadilha do perigo.
You were there, You were there always
Tu estavas lá, Tu sempre estavas lá.
You were there when the hardest fight
Tu estavas lá quando a batalha mais feroz
Seemed so out of reach
Parecia tão fora de alcance,
Oh, You were there, You were always there
Ó, Tu estavas lá, Tu sempre estavas lá,
You were always there
Tu sempre estavas lá.

So there he stood upon that hill
Então ele parou sobre aquele monte:
Abraham with knife in hand was poised to kill
Abraão com a faca firmada em suas mãos para matar;
But God in all his sovereignty had bigger plans
Mas Deus em Sua soberania tinha planos maiores,
And just in time, You brought a lamb
E bem a tempo, trouxeste um cordeiro.

‘Cause You were there, You were there
Pois estavas lá, Tu estavas lá
In the midst of the unclear
Em meio ao que não era claro.
You were there, you were there always
Tu estavas lá, Tu sempre estavas lá.
You were there when obedience
Estavas lá quando a obediência
Seemed to not make sense
Parecia não fazer sentido,
You were there, You were always there
Tu estavas lá, Tu sempre estavas lá,
You were always there
Tu sempre estavas lá.

So haven’t I learned that my ways
Será que não aprendi que meus caminhos
Aren’t as high as Yours are
Não são tão altos como os Teus?
And You alone keep the universe
E Tu somente impedes que o universo
From crumbling into dust
Desfaça-se em poeira?
You are God and though we would
Tu és Deus, e embora nós
Not have understood You
Não O tenhamos entendido,
There You were
Lá estavas Tu:

Hanging blameless on a cross
Pendendo inculpável numa cruz!
You would rather die than leave us in the dark
Tu preferirias morrer a nos abandonar em trevas.
Every moment, every planned coincidence
A cada momento, cada coincidência planejada,
Just all makes sense
Tudo somente ganha sentido
With Your last breath
Em Teu último suspiro:

You were there, You were there
Estavas lá, Tu estavas lá
During history’s darkest hour
Durante a mais negra hora da história.
You were there, You were there always
Tu estavas lá, Tu sempre estavas lá.
You were the Victor and the King
Tu eras o vitorioso e o Rei,
You were the power in David’s swing
Tu eras o poder da funda de Davi,
You were the calm in Abraham
Tu eras a calma de Abraão,
You are the God who understands
Tu és o Deus que compreende,
You are the strength when we have none
Tu és a força quando não temos nenhuma,
You are the living, Holy one
Tu és o Vivo, o Único Santo,
You were, You are and You will always be
Tu eras, Tu és e Tu sempre serás
the Risen Lamb of God
O Ressurreto Cordeiro de Deus!
