Os Grãos Que Formam Espigas
Frei Luiz Turra
The Grains That Form Ears of Corn
The grains that form ears of corn
Come together to become bread
The men who are church
Unite through offering
Before the altar, Lord
I understand my vocation
I must sacrifice
My life for my brother
The grain fallen to the ground
Only lives if it dies
It is by giving that one receives
By dying, one will live
Before the altar, Lord
I understand my vocation
I must sacrifice
My life for my brother
The wine and bread we offer
Are our answers of love
Humbly we ask
Accept us, O Lord
Before the altar, Lord
I understand my vocation
I must sacrifice
My life for my brother
Before the altar, Lord
I understand my vocation
I must sacrifice
My life for my brother
Before the altar, Lord
I understand my vocation
I must sacrifice
My life for my brother
