Os Aprovados
Miriam dos Passos
The Approved Ones
God chooses the smallest from a impoverished tribe
Who threshed wheat hidden from the Midianites
To be the warrior, the hero of the nation
Gideon had God placed in his heart
He gathers the people to wage war
Thirty-two thousand armed to fight
Then God appears and surprises him
Hey, Gideon wait, there are too many people
Do what I command you, for I will select
Cowards and the fearful, go back
For in my army only those who are warriors fight
Courage is one of the first things I look at
And from this choice, ten thousand remained to fight
God said: Send them all down to the river
And there I will show who will be your great warriors
In the end, only three hundred remained who were approved
But they were the three hundred that God had selected
It may be beautiful, be intelligent
Have a ring on your finger, be a super believer
Wear expensive clothes, drive imported cars
Be well known or be elitist
If you are not brave, a true believer
A firebrand that never surrenders
You will not be chosen to be one of the militants
Of the three hundred separated
You must have a torch, you must have fire
You must blow the trumpet, you must be courageous
You must break the jar, you must be true
You must be valorous, you must be a warrior
March soldiers, blow the trumpets
Break the jars, charge forward
I can't say, but I know
That I can already see the enemies going crazy killing each other
And the church winning
Winning, winning, winning, winning, winning, winning
We are chosen by God to be honored
Here on this earth we have to be used
Today God chooses you to be one of the approved three hundred
You must have a torch, you must have fire
You must blow the trumpet, you must be courageous
You must break the jar, you must be true
You must be valorous, you must be a warrior
March soldiers, blow the trumpets
Break the jars, charge forward
I can't say, but I know
That I can already see the enemies going crazy killing each other
And the church winning
Winning, winning, winning, winning, winning, winning
We are chosen by God to be honored
Here on this earth we have to be used
Today God chooses you to be one of the approved three hundred
