Maria, Mãe Dos Caminhantes

Maria, Mother of the Walkers
Chorus:
Maria, mother of the walkers,
Teach us to walk.
We are all travelers,
But it's not always easy to walk.
1. You made a long journey
To serve Isabel,
Knowing yourself as God's dwelling,
After your yes to Gabriel.
2. After a tough journey,
To the city of Bethlehem,
You found no place to stay,
They sent you further.
3. With faith you made the journey
Taking your Jesus to the temple,
But there you heard about the sword
Of the long road to the cross.
4. Fear led the way
Taking you far away,
To escape the vile trap
That a cruel king prepared.
5. How sad was the journey
Back to Jerusalem,
Feeling distressed
In the long search for your good.
6. Humble was the journey
In the company of Jesus,
When he preached, without stopping,
Bringing his light to men!
7. The journey was full of pain
At the end of Jesus' life!
But you followed him resigned,
With him you went to the cross!
8. Victorious journey
Finally brought you
To heaven, the goal of the journey
Of those who walk without stopping!
