1. Sacrifice Of Righteousness
En el pasado, cuando el hombre vivía bajo la ley
Para recibir perdón por sus pecados, ofrecían sacrificio de animales a Dios
Algunos mataban y daban gloria a otros dioses
Others murdered and worshipped demons
Offering the animal blood
Everyday, all over the world
Human sacrifices are offered to Satan
The motive is to serve him and obtain power
But now it's not necessary to kill to receive forgiveness
Blood streamed from the wounds
Down over the cross where a mutilated body
Was nailed and hung
Draining the life from a righteous
And innocent man
Named Jesus
He is Jesus Christ, His sacrifice is for all
It was sufficient to demolish the sin
That existed between God and man
Giving His own life for us out of love
Showing this way that the death
Of Jesus was the biggest and most
Important sacrifice in history of humanity
Everyday the mercies of God are new
Because of the death of Christ
And now the glory is Christ's
Who was raised from the dead
And now is seated at the right
Hand of God
2. From Pain To Hope
Sadness and pain cover the people
They cry out for freedom
Escaping from death
Looking for answers
Broken dreams, wounded hearts
They walk in agony
They are hated
For the color of their skin
Fear in their minds
Death will come soon
And sickness in their bodies
They live in our world
And want an answer
A hope to be free
They are poor and no one
Will help, from pain to hope
Jesus Christ is the way
He died for everyone
Your race doesn't matter
The people don't care
If they die or cease to exist
The future is the same without hope
Or love
3. The Mystery Of Iniquity
4. Rivers Of Loneliness
5. Legal
In secret she hid her shame
She placed her confidence in a lie
The very instrument she thought would set her free
Will cause her to die
Her body racked with pain
Her plea you would deny
On deaf ears her scream would fall
All along the danger raged
Within her body
As she collapses with faint breath
She begs God to forgive her
And He does
In the hospital the war is waged
As the infection claims feet
Hands and legs, skin becomes black as sin
For wisdom the doctors
Look to within as she wastes away
A few hours later her race would be finished
But all is lost as the deadly infection wins
Her children mourn the loss of a mother they will never know
Her husband mourns the loss of his wife and the child he never knew
All in the name of choice and legal immorality
6. Terminating Existence
Buscas e intentas, no puedes más
La angustia y el odio llenan tu ser
Tu gente traiciona el amor
Muestran rencor y causan dolor
Creíste encontrar la solución a tu depresión
Sólo aumentó el temor
Por continuar viviendo
Solución letal, deseas morir
Escapas cobarde no quieres seguir
Cortaste tus venas, la sangre goteó
Pensaste que muriendo todo acababa
Causaste tristeza, yo aún te amaba
La única muerte que te servía
Era la mía, te daba la vida
No es necesario que mueras
Jesucristo murió por ti en la cruz
Él es la solución, Él te ama
Y te quiere ayudar
Sólo habla con Él, abre tu corazón
Mi llanto cayó sobre tu tumba
Porqué hijo mío, yo aún te amaba
7. Absolute Predominance
Everybody wants power and control in this world
Governments, countries and many men
They've tried to get it with wars and nuclear arms
It doesn't matter who dies, children, women
Innocent people that pay the price
Of the stubborn man who seeks to rule
Oh, you are all so simple
Only you, Lord, who with your great power
Created the heavens and the earth
You gave breath of life to man
You broke the heads of the monster in the waters
You separated the sea so your people
Could flee
Only you, Lord Jesus
Have control over all the universe
You punish with your sword and the serpent
You will slay the dragon
Even the mountains will melt as wax before you
Only you, my God, with your power
Subject demons and heal the sick
In the name of Christ
Besides, every knee shall bend before you and
All the men that wanted the glory will
Confess that you are sovereign, God
Over all
You will crush Satan under our feet
And you will show that you are King
Coming on a cloud of power and great glory
Those who boast in idols
Worship Him all you gods!
8. Tears Of A Leper
He was lost in the wilderness
Finding no way to a place he could stay
He was hungry and thirsty
And his soul failed him, he sat in darkness
And in the deepest gloom
Living in agony and depression
Through his tears he cried out
I prefer strangling and death
Rather than this body of mine, it's not enough to be just
I deserve to die for the sin in my life
Porque no hay lugar donde se escondan
Los que hacen maldad
Por haberte desobedecido, mi Dios
Estoy perdido en éste mundo de pecado
He caído y me estoy muriendo
Perdóname, Señor
Ayúdame porque yo solo no puedo
Quiero estar contigo otra vez
Have mercy on me my Jesus
Look upon my affliction and suffering
You lift me up from the doors of death
I remember the good times we had together Lord
But now I am bound by ties of death
And torments of perversity
9. A Cry Of Anguish
Save me, oh God, for the waters have come up
To my neck, I sink in the depth where there is
No foothold, I have come into the deep waters
The floods engulf me, those who hate me
Without reason, outnumber the hairs of my head
All my bones are out of joint
My heart has turned to wax
It has melted away within me
Darkness is all around me
Because of the errors of my ways in the past
I regret not believing in you
I always thought I was right
When my own thoughts took me away from you
There is a void in me nothing can fill
Problems, pain, loneliness invade my mind
My friends and family have forgotten me
My life isn't important to anybody
Only you Lord Jesus gave me strength to go on
You filled the void and heard my cry
Now I don't look back, I only see you
My God
10. Chains Of Darkness
They promise freedom but they themselves
Are slaves of corruption
With their mouths they praise God
They preach the name of Jesus and his love
Some want to pervert the gospel of Christ
Changing the word of God for their convenience
They are wells without water
Lies and blasphemies
These sects are born in such a manner
That they draw man away from the truth
They ask money for healing, prosperity
Prostitution of the gospel
They listen to seducting spirits
And doctrines of demons
They preach false doctrines
Disguising themselves as Christians but they are
False prophets that introduce destructive heresy
Talking like brute beasts made to be taken and destroyed
And shall utterly perish in their own corruption
For it would have been better for them not to have known Jesus
They are like a dog returning to his own vomit again
Now the time has come to discern the schemes
Of the devil because Jesus is the only way
And salvation is free
