Tem Que Ser Pequeno

Truly the desert is the best school to teach me what is right
How many times I thought I knew, it was uncertain
It was necessary to learn the basics again
And I had to go back! I returned to the desert
I realized that instead of vanity, it was humility
I removed pride and absorbed simplicity
Instead of questioning, I stayed silent, and just listened
Ahhh, how much I learned!

My Teacher dressed like me
He was no different from anyone
His skin was marked by the sun that touched me
And from the same source everyone there was satisfied
Hunger struck
He shared bread with everyone equally
He was supernatural, but seemed so normal
I learned that the greatest in the kingdom
Must be small, small, small

You have to be small to learn
That in fact, it is only He who appears
You have to be small with humility
That is how glory descends
I had to descend to learn that only He is great
So great and even being great
He rests his feet on Earth and dwells in my being
Even being great, He cares
About what no one wants to notice
He hides me when someone looks at me
Only He will see

Less of me, much less of me
Much more of God, much more of God
Less of me, much less of me
Much more of God, much more of God
The great one here is God
