Em Caminhos de Dor

In paths of pain I walked
In disobedience to the Lord
I sat down and cried
Remembering how happy I used to be
Whoever was once a slave
Knows there is no joy
In singing praises far away
Far from the Father's house

How could I sing there?
For you are my greatest joy
If not for you
For no one else it will be
Your presence, oh God
I want every day!
My praise is only for you
Only for you!

There will be the day of victory
The final victory
When evil will be destroyed
And forgotten
The enemy of the Lord
The one who brought so much pain, so much pain
Today I sing to the Lord
I returned, I will not forget
That it is, Lord, in your presence
The place from where I will never leave!
