Pelo pecado ferida
Eu te suplico perdão
Ó bom pastor
Kyrie Eleison

Kyrie Eleison
Como o ladrão perdoado
Encontro o paraíso ao teu lado
Lembra-te de mim
Pecador por tua cruz
Christe Eleison
Christe Eleison
Christe Eleison
Como a pecadora caída
Derramo aos teus pés minha vida
Vê as lagrimas do meu coração
E salva-me!

The lyrics to Comunidade Católica Shalom's song Kyrie Eleison convey a sense of humility and repentance to seek forgiveness from God. The first verse talks about being lost like a sheep and wounded by sin, and pleading for forgiveness from the good shepherd. The second verse talks about the thief who is forgiven and finds paradise with God, and asks to be remembered as a sinner saved by the cross. Finally, the third verse talks about a fallen sinner who pours out their life at Jesus' feet and begs for salvation, asking Him to see the tears in their heart.
The repetition of the phrases "Kyrie Eleison" and "Christe Eleison" in the chorus is a traditional Catholic liturgy that means "Lord Have Mercy" and "Christ Have Mercy" respectively. This song is a prayer asking for mercy and forgiveness from God, and acknowledges the mercy shown to sinners in the bible such as the thief on the cross and the woman who washed Jesus' feet with her tears.
Overall, the song encourages believers to recognize their own sinfulness and ask for forgiveness, relying on God's mercy and grace to save them.
