A Vara de Moisés

Moses' Staff

A Vara de Moisés

There was a staff that Moses held in his handsEra uma vara que Moisés tinha nas mãos
That he cut to work with day and nightQue lhe cortara para ele trabalhar
He took care of the flock, never thinkingDia e noite do rebanho ele cuidava,e nunca
That God would ever need itEle pensava que Deus ia precisar

Years went by and Moses never thoughtPassou os anos e Moisés nunca pensava
About what God had planned to doNo que Deus tinha pra realizar
But the Lord wanted to show PharaohMas o Senhor quis mostrar pra Faraó
That with just one staff, He could free IsraelQue com uma vara só,ele livrava a Israel

Then suddenly he saw a burning bushMas de repente ele viu uma Sarça ardendo
And fearing, he started to draw nearEntão temendo começou a se aproximar
And a voice from the bush then spoke, it was the Lord's voiceE uma voz da Sarça então soou,era a voz do Senhor
Who wanted to use himQue queria lhe usar

Moses performed many miraclesMuitos milagres Moisés realizou
And then the king let all the people goE então o rei deixou todo o povo sair
With that staff, the Red Sea partedCom aquela vara o mar vermelho se abriu
All of Israel fled, and Egypt was done.Israel todo fugiu,e o Egito se acabou
