Benditos de Meu Pai
Gisele Nascimento
Blessed by My Father
Every time you care about someone
Who to the world is nobody
My heart rejoices because I am also him
Every time you stop to cry
With someone who isn't even your friend
You will dry my tears
There I am too
Do not despise the character of Zacchaeus
Find me in the darkness of Bartimaeus
Go to Simon's empty boat
To hear me preach
Remember that beggar asking for alms
It was me trying to remind you
That only those who care for the least on earth
Will be on my right in heaven
Only those on my right
Will surely hear me speak
You gave me food, you gave me drink
Covered my body with your clothes without knowing me
When I was alone, you approached
Visited me in the hospital or in prison
How many times I plunged into your emptiness
Insisting every day on seeking you
I made from nothing everything I wanted just to save you
How many times you gave up on me
And the shame of making mistakes made you stop
My grace was the arm I extended to reach you
