Quem Me Vê Cantando

Who sees me singing thinks that all the time was just joy
And that in this life I never had reasons to cry
Who sees me singing never imagines that I spent dark nights
Thinks that my life was to live happily and just sing
But it wasn't quite like that, I crossed the desert
Feet hurting from the thorns' stings
And how many times I screamed, because I couldn't bear the pain
God, I will die on this path
But when I thought I was alone
The Almighty would appear
Renewing the promises, reminding me of what he did
And words of comfort he would say

Remember the cloud by day, it was me
Remember the pillar of fire, it was me
I made water gush from the rock for you to drink
Remember the manna from heaven, it was me
Remember the path in the middle of the sea
Sing for I am the one who takes care of you

No one will touch you, no one will stop you
And if they accuse you, I will defend you
I bless you here, I bless you there
Where your foot steps, it will be blessed
I give, I take
I exalt, humble, abase and honor, give and take away
I have, I do, I command, I can, I am, I am
I can kill
I can make alive, I can exalt, I can abase
And if I want to bless you, who will contend?
