O Povo de Deus

The people of God walked in the desert,
But Someone walked ahead of them.
The people of God were rich in nothing,
Only had hope and the dust of the road.

I am also your people, Lord
And I am on this road
Only Your grace is enough for me and nothing else.

The people of God also faltered;
Sometimes it was hard to believe in love.
The people of God, crying, prayed
Asked for forgiveness and started over.

I am also your people, Lord,
And I am on this road
Forgive me if sometimes I don't believe in anything else.

The people of God also hungered
And You sent them bread from heaven.
The people of God, singing, gave thanks;
Praised Your love, Your love that never fades.

I am also your people, Lord,
And I am on this road.
You are the sustenance on the long journey.

The people of God saw in the distance
The beloved land that love prepared.
The people of God ran and sang
And in their praises proclaimed Your power.

I am also your people, Lord
And I am on this road,
Every day closer to the awaited land. (3X)
