As Promessas do Bom Pastor

The Promises of the Good Shepherd

As Promessas do Bom Pastor

I will go out through the meadows seekingVou sair pelos prados buscando
Sheep that are without a shepherdOvelhas que estão sem pastor
I will bring them back with careEu as trarei com carinho
Without hunger or fearDe volta sem fome ou temor

On my shoulders, wounded sheepNos meus ombros, ovelhas feridas
Without pain will be able to restSem dor poderão descansar
I will restore their fieldsDevolverei os seus campos
I will give peace againDarei novamente a paz

I am king, I am the good shepherdSou rei, sou o bom pastor
Come to the banquet I have prepared for youVinde ao banquete que vos preparei
And you will never be hungryE fome jamais tereis
To whom shall we go, O Lord?A quem vamos, ó Senhor?
Only You have the word of lifeSó Tu tens palavra de vida
And give yourself as foodE te dás em refeição

Bad shepherds who lose sheepMaus pastores que perdem ovelhas
Far from me I will have themDistantes de mim os terei
In other safe pasturesNoutras pastagens seguras
I will call faithful shepherdsPastores fiéis chamarei

A new kingdom I will make of my peopleNovo reino farei do meu povo
A flock without oppressionRebanho sem mais opressão
All will be ledTodos serão conduzidos
To life by my handsA vida por minhas mãos

I am king, I am the good shepherdSou rei, sou o bom pastor
Come to the banquet I have prepared for youVinde ao banquete que vos preparei
And you will never be hungryE fome jamais tereis
To whom shall we go, O Lord?A quem vamos, ó Senhor?
Only You have the word of lifeSó Tu tens palavra de vida
And give yourself as food!E te dás em refeição!

If a sheep leaves my fieldSe uma ovelha deixar o meu campo
And follows another pathE outro caminho seguir
I leave the flock safeDeixo o rebanho seguro
And go in search of the unhappy oneE vou procurar a infeliz

Upon bringing it back, there will be joyAo trazê-la, haverá alegria
And the angels of heaven will singE os anjos do céu vão cantar
It will be the feast of returnSerá a festa da volta
The flock will rejoiceRebanho vai se alegrar

I am king, I am the good shepherdSou rei, sou o bom pastor
Come to the banquet I have prepared for youVinde ao banquete que vos preparei
And you will never be hungryE fome jamais tereis
To whom shall we go, O Lord?A quem vamos, ó Senhor?
Only You have the word of lifeSó Tu tens palavra de vida
And give yourself as food!E te dás em refeição!
