Saudades

I feel that my God is here
In the midst of this great crowd
He is preparing missionaries
For the mission field
Although the farewell is difficult
From the Church and loved ones
But to be a missionary
Approved by God, renunciation is necessary

The longing is so great, it even causes me pain
Longing for family, Church, and the Pastor
Longing for the choir, where you sang
This scene is sad, but go, oh missionary
Do the work with love

Here you hear many hymns
The band singing a song
You hear this beautiful youth
Also the Prayer Circle
There where you are going
Who knows, you may never hear
In your chest, longing tightening
And tears rolling, it's hard to resist

The longing is so great, it even causes me pain
Longing for family, Church, and the Pastor
Longing for the choir, where you sang
This scene is sad, but go, oh missionary
Do the work with love

Go missionary, do not be silent
Go, brave like David
Raise the bloodstained flag
Speak that Jesus is about to come
Remember that the pastor loves you very much
And the Church will not forget you
Go, be brave in the battle
For this Church is praying for you

The longing is so great, it even causes me pain
Longing for family, Church, and the Pastor
Longing for the choir, where you sang
This scene is sad, but go, oh missionary
Do the work with love
