Quem Me vê Cantando

Who sees me singing
Thinks that all the time was just joy
And that in this life I never had reasons to cry
Who sees me singing never imagines
That I spent dark nights
Thinks my life was just living happy and singing alone

But it wasn't quite like that
I crossed the desert
My feet aching from the thorns' pricks
And how many times I screamed
Because I couldn't bear the pain

God, am I going to die on this path?
But when I thought I was alone
The Almighty showed up
Renewed the promises
Reminded me of what He did
And spoke words of comfort to me

Remember the cloud by day, that was me
Remember the pillar of fire, that was me
I made water flow from the rock for you to drink

Remember the manna from heaven, that was me
Remember the path through the middle of the sea
Sing, for I am the one who takes care of you

No one will touch you
No one will hold you back
And if they accuse you

I defend you
I bless you here
I bless you there
Wherever your foot treads

You will be blessed
I give, I take, I lift up, I humble
I bring down and honor, I give and take away
I have, I do, I command, I can, I am

I am, I am
I can kill, I make live
I can lift up, I can bring down
And if I want to bless you
Who will contend?
