O Profeta
Coral Palestrina
The Prophet
Before I formed you in your mother's womb
Before you were born, I knew you and set you apart
To be my prophet among the nations, I chose you
You'll go where I send you, and what I command you, you'll proclaim
I gotta shout, I gotta take a chance
Woe to me if I don't
How can I escape you, how can I be quiet
When your voice burns in my chest?
I gotta walk, I gotta fight
Woe to me if I don't
How can I escape you, how can I be quiet
When your voice burns in my chest?
Don't be afraid to take a risk, for I will be with you
Don't be afraid to announce me: I'll speak through your mouth
I give you my people: Go tear down and uproot
To build up, you'll destroy and you'll plant
I gotta shout, I gotta take a chance
Woe to me if I don't
How can I escape you, how can I be quiet
When your voice burns in my chest?
I gotta walk, I gotta fight
Woe to me if I don't
How can I escape you, how can I be quiet
When your voice burns in my chest?
Leave your brothers, leave your father and your mother
Leave your home, for the land is crying out
Bring nothing with you, for I will be by your side
It's time to fight, because my people are suffering
I gotta shout, I gotta take a chance
Woe to me if I don't
How can I escape you, how can I be quiet
When your voice burns in my chest?
I gotta walk, I gotta fight
Woe to me if I don't
How can I escape you, how can I be quiet
When your voice burns in my chest?
