As Raizes

I met an old farmer;
His face wrinkled by the sun
Eighty years old, his name is Uncle Sampaio,
Not afraid of any storm.
I asked what his great secret was,
Of a long life full of vigor,
Of a faith so radiant that attracted everyone,
Uncle Sampaio replied to me:
The roots...

Take good care of the main things,
Rooted always firm in the Word of the Lord
Nothing will shake you.
The roots...

Uncle Sampaio told me about his life
That when he was young he surrendered to the Lord,
He devoted himself to the study of the Word,
Every day his love grew.
His wife passed away eight years ago,
He knows his days will end.
No matter the circumstances or the wind that blows;
The roots will hold; The roots...
