Eis-me Aqui, Senhor!
Dom Pedro Brito Guimarães
Here I Am, Lord!
I acknowledge the one who reigns
And calls me to be a herald
Of the justice of his word
Which becomes an invincible beacon
Through the hands of the faithful messenger
You, Lord, purify my lips
Free me from all sin
And proclaim the omen of light
Here I am, Lord
I make myself available for the work of the Kingdom!
Guide my steps
Along the path of peace
Walking among the shadows of the night
Drawn to the true light
Is an invitation from the God who calls us
To finally overcome the barriers
It is too much the contempt of many
For the path of complete truth
Until when the fatal closure
To the radiant and happy freedom?
A new day cannot be contained
Behold, life asks us to pass through!
We must renew ourselves
True image of the living God within us!
Perennial advent of the Kingdom
Unfolds before the thirsty eyes
Of the beauty that recreates everything
And reveals divine wonders
