Ensina-me a Amar Os Pobres

Convert my heart: I want to start over!
Teach me to be a brother
To the poor and oppressed
I confess my selfishness:
I think too much of myself,
Your yes to me is no,
And if you say no, I insist it's yes.

Convert my heart
To the poor whom you love so much
You also call me to be poor
Convert my heart.

Convert my heart: I want to relearn!
Teach me to be a brother
to those who have nothing
I confess my selfishness:
It's much easier to give
Than to commit
And to learn again and, in fact, change.
