A Barca (Pescador de Homens)
CNBB
The Boat (Fisherman of Men)
1 You approached the shore,
you did not seek the wise nor the rich,
you only want me to follow You.
Chorus: Lord, You looked into my eyes,
smiling, You pronounced my name,
on the shore I left my boat
with You I will seek another sea.
(Lyrics for Mission, Vocation or Testimony:)
2 You know well that in my boat
I have no swords nor gold,
only nets and my work.
3 You request my hands,
my tiredness to rest in others,
love that desires to keep loving.
(Additional Lyrics:)
4 You, fisherman of other lakes,
eternal longing for souls waiting,
kind friend, that's how You call me.
(Lyrics for Communion:)
5 You are the Bread, You are the Wine,
nourishment for those who go with You.
I want to eat Him on my way.
6 You are my only friend,
companion who comes with me.
Give me Your body, divine food.
7 You live resurrected,
for You have overcome pain and death.
Lord, I want to follow Your fate.
