Sob a Direção Dele
Miriam dos Passos
Under His Direction
They entered the boat, set the nets
And over the waters, they keep sailing
The sea is calm, the wind peaceful
And soon Peter cast the net into the sea
But no fish came and several times
They tried unsuccessfully to fish
The night passed as day broke
And here comes Peter, sad with empty nets
Returning to the shore, the fishermen
Began to wash their nets
And Jesus entering Peter's boat asked him to move the boat a little
And began to preach to the crowd
And after the preaching, he ordered Peter to fish again
Casting the nets to the right side
But Peter replied, saying
Master, we worked all night and caught nothing
But at your word, I will cast the nets
And calling Peter and the other companions in another boat, he asked for their help
And they filled the boat with so many fish
Do you know why?
The problem is not in the net
The problem is not in the sea
The problem is not in the fish
Nor in the day you chose to fish
The problem is not in the hour, nor is it in the place
The problem was the direction you decided to cast
So go back there and this time obey me
Prepare the boat again, cast the net on the other side and you will see the providence
You may be experienced and have skills
You may have the best boat
But there are only fish in the net under my direction
The net is yours, but the direction is mine
The boat is yours, but the direction is mine
The rudder is yours, but the direction is mine
The experience, but the direction is mine
You may be experienced and have skills
You may have the best boat
But there are only fish in the net under my direction
Under my direction there are miracles, there are answers
Providence, there is victory, there is offspring, there is sustenance
There will be no lack of food under my direction
And under my direction there will be no lack of joy
The help you need, whether night or day
Just obey and trust, today I fill your net, it will not return empty anymore
