Quem Me Vê Cantando

Who sees me singing
Thinks that all the time was just joy
And that in this life I never had reasons to cry
Who sees me singing
Never imagines that I went through dark nights
Thinks that my life was to live happily and just sing

But it wasn't quite like that
I crossed the desert
Feet hurting from the thorn pricks
Oh, and how many times I screamed
Because I couldn't bear the pain
God, will I die on this path?

But when I thought I was alone
The Almighty would appear
Renewing the promises
Reminding me of what He did
And words of comfort He would tell me

Remember the cloud by day? It was Me
Remember the pillar of fire? It was Me
I made water flow from a rock for you to drink
Remember the manna from heaven? It was Me
Remember the path through the sea?
Sing, for I am the one who takes care of you

No one will touch you, no one will stop you
And if they accuse you, I will defend you
I bless you here, I bless you there
Where your foot steps, it will be blessed

I give, I take, I exalt, I humble
I bring down and honor, I give and take away
I have, I do, I command, I can, I am
I am

I can kill, I can make alive
I can exalt, I can bring low
And if I want to bless you
Who will oppose?

But when I thought I was alone
The Almighty would appear
Renewing the promises
Reminding me of what He did
And words of comfort He would tell me

Remember the cloud by day? It was Me
Remember the pillar of fire? It was Me
I made water flow from a rock for you to drink
Remember the manna from heaven? It was Me
Remember the path through the sea?
Sing, for I am the one who takes care of you

No one will touch you, no one will stop you
And if they accuse you, I will defend you
I bless you here, I bless you there
Where your foot steps, it will be blessed

I give, I take, I exalt, I humble
I bring down and honor, I give and take away
I have, I do, I command, I can, I am
I am

I can kill, I can make alive
I can exalt, I can bring low
And if I want to bless you
Who will oppose?

Someone doesn't want, but I want
Someone won't, but I will
They fought against, did everything
But I am in your life and will bless you

I give, I take, I exalt, I humble
I bring down and honor, I give and take away
I have, I do, I command, I can, I am
I am

I can kill, I can make alive
I can exalt, I can bring low
And if I want to bless you
Who will oppose?

And if I want to bless you
Who will oppose?
