Mais Perto
Pe. Fábio de Melo
Closer
Where are you going in such a hurry
With that look of someone who has a lot to do
If I can ask you something, I ask you: sit here
Like one day I sat in that well
And friendship visited my heart
I was a friend and the missing husband and today it can be
also like this
Your eyes reveal so much thirst and I am not
indifferent to your pain
But there are things I don't do, they are not mine, they depend
only on your will
The miracle will happen in two ways
One is mine and the other I leave to you
If you bring me your water, I'll turn it into wine
Come closer, don't be afraid
Don't say anything, silence is a word that doesn't keep secrets
If necessary, I'll dry your face
Tears are fragments of a story that I can
understand
I see you entwined in so many mistakes
Hurting so many people unknowingly
Unhappy you are becoming little by little, please,
want to come back
I don't promise to give you a garden of flowers
But I promise the strength to be able to plant it
And I assure you in cultivation to be right there, if needed, to
console you
We will sing the germinated seed, prune what cannot
grow
Each pruning must have a lesson, I will help you
understand
I am the verb of the beginning made flesh
I am the God who decided to have a heart
And today is sitting by this well
Gazing at your face, in the voice of this young man, giving you a
message
If possible, I hope for a visit, don't delay in
coming
The house is the same, the same address, I wait there
Come closer.
