Decreto
Lília Paz
Decree
It's no use trying to pressure me
A decree won't stop my prayer
My cry is like a weapon, it's an explosion
It's a bomb much stronger than the grave and the lion
A decree won't make me shut up
The desert won't make me shut up
In this war, you won't have to fight
Because the one who prays wins the war even without fighting
God fights for him, God shuts the lion's mouth for him
God goes ahead of him, God enters the den with him
God is his friend, God walks with him
God removes the stone from his path
God goes ahead of him
They can throw me in the den, they can pressure me
But nothing interrupts my prayer
They can spread rumors, have meetings
But nothing interrupts my communion
God goes ahead of me, shuts the lion's mouth
And shows the enemy that I am a champion
The night will pass, the day will come
The next day, early, I will worship my God
He is the God of water, God of fire
God of trials, God of blessings
He is the God who heals, God who kills
God who humbles, God who exalts
He is the God of the den, God of the lion
God who hears your prayer
