Pedaços

Sad I am for having lost
The pure innocence I lived
Pieces that fell from me
Seemed to have fallen into the void

But God heard
When I cried out
When I sinned

Happy is the one who has cried
Realizing they are a sinner
Crying out for forgiveness
God gathered my pieces

I walked so far without God
Even lost self-respect
Trying to find a way out
I fell into the same trap

But God heard
When I cried out
When I sinned

Happy is the one who has cried
Realizing they are a sinner
Crying out for forgiveness
God gathered my pieces

And the formula for life
That resists temptation
Is to seek His word
To surrender in prayer
I don't even have the strength
To face those who have lost
My armor is God

Happy is the one who has cried
Realizing they are a sinner
Crying out for forgiveness
God gathered my pieces
