Barnabas

Barnabé

It doesn't sit right for some to thrive while others struggleNão fica bem a gente passar bem e outro carestia
Especially when you know what to do but just don’t do itAinda mais quando se sabe o que fazer e não se faz
Like the fruit of Christ's love, the fruit of His commitmentComo fruto do amor de Cristo, fruto do seu compromisso
A man sold what he had and shared itVendeu um homem o que tinha e repartiu

His name was Barnabas, from CyprusEra o seu nome: Barnabé, natural de Chipre
Also known as Joseph of ConsolationTambém chamado de José das Consolações
A good and righteous man, full of zeal and faithHomem bom e piedoso, cheio de fervor e fé
A man of GodHomem de Deus

And when Saul converted to Christ, he found himself friendlessE quando Saulo converteu-se a Cristo, lhe faltou amigos
Someone who could be a companion, a source of comfort and shelterAlguém que fosse companheiro, fonte de consolo e abrigo
Like the fruit of Christ's love, the fruit of His commitmentComo fruto do amor de Cristo, fruto do seu compromisso
A man went to find him, reaching out a handFoi um homem procurá-lo, dando-lhe a mão

And when the church spread to every corner it could reachE quando a igreja se espalhou pra todo canto que havia
It was providence, yes, by God's hand, that came to AntiochProvidência, sim, por mão de Deus, chegou à Antioquia
In need of a shepherd for souls, even a shepherd for menPrecisando de um pastor de almas, mesmo de um pastor de homens
They went to look for the one who was qualifiedForam procurar aquele que qualificou
