Menino Jeremias

There was a boy named Jeremiah
Chosen by God before birth
Even so young, he knew
He would be a prophet to the nations, it was God's plan

He would say: Lord, I cannot speak
I am a child
God would reply: Wherever I send you
Speak the words I command

And do not be afraid, I am with you
Open your mouth and start speaking

Prophesy, prophesy, Jeremiah
Go preach the word, Jeremiah
It doesn't matter if you are a child
I will use you, I will use you

Prophesy, prophesy, Jeremiah
Go preach the word, Jeremiah
It doesn't matter if you are a child
I will use you, I will use you

And just as God did with Jeremiah
He wants to do with each of you children

I am not afraid, God is with me
I will open my mouth to speak
I will prophesy like Jeremiah
I will preach like Jeremiah
I know I am still a child
God wants to use me, God wants to use me

I will prophesy like Jeremiah
I will preach like Jeremiah
I know I am still a child, God wants to use me

Oh hallelujah, oh hallelujah, oh hallelujah, God will use me
Oh hallelujah, oh hallelujah, oh hallelujah, God will use me

I will prophesy like Jeremiah
I will preach like Jeremiah
I know I am still a child, God wants to use me

I will prophesy like Jeremiah
I will preach like Jeremiah
I know I am still a child, God wants to use me
God wants to use me
