Não Basta Ser Crente

The other day, in front of the mirror
I asked myself: What kind of believer are you, Leandro?
I answered: I don't know
Traditional, Pentecostal, Protestant
Evangelical, nominal or practicing

These are the things they ask in the IBGE census
And the crazy person answers however they want
They say whatever comes to mind, without thinking
But the one who sees everything can't be fooled

I discovered that the question
Was more difficult than I imagined
In this crazy mess, where did I fit in?
So I started to ponder this question
That doesn't want to be quiet

What kind of believer are you? What kind of believer are you?
Snitch, scammer, or standing firm?
But what kind of believer are you? What kind of believer are you?
Blind spot or opportunist? It's a matter of faith

It's not enough to be a believer, it's not enough to be a believer
You have to be born again, you have to die to the world
You have to completely change your mind
It's not enough to be a believer, it's not enough to be a believer
You have to have a heart like a child
To forgive, be a Christian, know how to love

There are believers who only appear at certain times
They are the scout believer, only goes to camp
There is the giraffe believer, where does he live?
His body is in the church but his head is outside
There is the one who is full of himself, only wants to appear
Only acts on top of the cake: Glazed believer

And the Solomon believer, top category
The guy knows everything, father of wisdom
There is the chewing gum believer who is not easy
Chews the word, but never swallows it
Museum believer, who lives in the past
And the cart believer: Only comes if pulled

It's not enough to be a believer, it's not enough to be a believer
You have to be born again, you have to die to the world
You have to completely change your mind
It's not enough to be a believer, it's not enough to be a believer
You have to have a heart like a child
To forgive, be a Christian, know how to love

Chameleon is another species of believer
One behavior in each environment
Like chayote believer: Doesn't taste like anything
Goes with the flow, the belly is in the salad

And the parrot believer: Doesn't want to reflect
Has no opinion, only knows how to repeat
Needs to examine the scriptures, stop being a jerk
Take a stand as a guardian of truth
As a prophet who checks the word and interprets it
And what is not good he deletes
Because pleasing the Lord is his goal

One thing is to be a believer, another thing is to be a Christian
It is necessary to love God, dude, and your brothers
Be clever in the word, sharp in prayer
Without twisted talk, without hesitation

It's not enough to be a believer, it's not enough to be a believer
You have to be born again, you have to die to the world
You have to completely change your mind
It's not enough to be a believer, it's not enough to be a believer
You have to have a heart like a child
To forgive, be a Christian, know how to love

There is the top model believer: Gets all dressed up
To go to Sunday's holy communion, full church
But the Christian gives the best he has to those in need
And prays naked, because God knows the heart
Of who wants to show off and who wants to walk
In humility, in holiness

Hey, my brother, show your face!
There's no point in running, God has already seen you, caught you

It's not enough to be a believer, it's not enough to be a believer
You have to be born again, you have to die to the world
You have to completely change your mind
It's not enough to be a believer, it's not enough to be a believer
You have to have a heart like a child
To forgive, be a Christian, know how to love

Type control-c in the first epistle of John
And press control-v in your heart
Then control-z, cancel the past
A true Christian deletes sin

Type control-c in the first epistle of John
And press control-v in your heart

It's not enough to be a believer, it's not enough to be a believer
You have to be born again, you have to die to the world
You have to completely change your mind
It's not enough to be a believer, it's not enough to be a believer
You have to have a heart like a child
To forgive, be a Christian, know how to love

Type control-c in the first epistle of John
And press control-v in your heart
Then control-z, cancel the past
A true Christian deletes sin
