Ressuscita-me
by: Aline BarrosMestre eu preciso de um milagre
Transforma minha vida o meu estado
Faz tempo que não vejo a luz do dia
Estão tentando sepultar minha alegria
Tentando ver meus sonhos cancelados
Lázaro ouviu a sua voz, quando aquela pedras removeu
Depois de quatro dias ele reviveu
Mestre não há outro que possa fazer
Aquilo que só o teu nome tem todo poder
Eu preciso tanto de um milagre
Remove minha pedra
Me chama pelo nome
Muda minha história
Ressuscita os meus sonhos
Transforma minha vida
Me faz um milagre
Me toca nessa hora
Me chama para fora
Ressuscita-me
Tu és a própria vida
A força que há em mim
Tu és o filho de Deus
Que me erguer pra vencer
Senhor de tudo em mim
Já ouço a tua voz
Me chamando pra viver
