Abençoado

What would I be without you, Lord
What would I be without your love
What would I be without you, Lord
What would I be without your love

It's like having the sun but not feeling warmth
It's seeing the rainbow losing its color
It's having a relationship without love
It's chewing the fruit and not tasting its flavor

It's as if the air were missing to breathe
It's forgetting to thank while complaining so much
It's not knowing how to appreciate the vastness of the sea
It's the poet's poem who doesn't know how to love

I would feel lost without direction
I would build a nest in the eye of the hurricane
I would face the war without ammunition
I wouldn't have the strength to complete the mission

I would have imprisoned my freedom
I would have more sadness than happiness
If I didn't have you as a priority
I wouldn't have known true love

What would I be without you, Lord
What would I be without your love
What would I be without you, Lord
What would I be without your love

I confess that I have smiled with the urge to cry
That I have lost myself trying to find myself
That I was reckless and acted without thinking
I ignored your presence and tried to push myself away

I confess that lately it hasn't been easy
I had to compose myself and gather my pieces
The enemy is cunning and setting a trap
To steal my victory and see me fail

And whoever wants to see my end can wait sitting down
I guarantee it won't be that easy
I believe in a living God who takes care of me
It's the same God of Abraham, Jacob, and David

When the world rejected me, he accepted me
When the world stoned me, he embraced me
Even knowing that I was just another sinner
He washed my wounds with his love

What would I be without you, Lord
What would I be without your love
What would I be without you, Lord
What would I be without your love
