Choro de Joquebede

I admire that woman
Trying to hide her son
Muffling the child's cry
Crying along so no one notices
Crying along to disguise
Maybe singing so no one hears

You can imagine her distress
The boy was beautiful and her heart
Faced suffering every day
Protecting the boy from death

Joquebede saw it was no longer possible
And now she herself makes a little boat
Kisses her son amidst the distress
And sends him off on the Nile

Miriã follows the boat as it goes
Suddenly the God who can do everything, see what He does
Led the baby to Pharaoh's daughter
Who fell in love when the boy cried

This is a Hebrew, but now he's mine
I'll adopt him and he'll be my son
I just need someone with love to care for him
And Miriã then offered herself
I know someone I can call
And hurriedly said
Mother, God heard you, answered your cry

Go get your son because God has heard you
He will be called Moses because he came from the waters
You can release your cry, because Egypt won't kill your son
Go embrace your son because God took care of him
Pharaoh's daughter found your son

You can rejoice because no one will silence the boy's cry
You can bring him back, no need to hide
And God has provision, has a blessing for you
You can rejoice, you will still have a reward
Mother, to bless you

Go embrace your son because God took care of him

And God has provision, has a blessing for you
You can rejoice, you will still have a reward

Here comes Moses, Joquebede now cries with joy
Here comes with Moses, God is God and preserved your life
Here comes Moses, maybe coming crying a cry of praise
Here comes Moses, Joquebede cries to thank
God is God and doesn't need to hide

God is God, God is God
God is God and will always deliver you
God is God, He is God
God is God!

He is God
God is God!
