Meu Pai (My Dad)


There was once a man

His name was Moacy

I called him "pai"*

And, he loved me.


There was a man who talked about Jesus

Every chance he had

He loved his Lord so much

And, about his Savior he shared.


There was a man who told jokes

They were not much more than five

Still, I was amused

Not really at the jokes

But as the teller told every time.


There was a strong little man

Who, than most, worked harder

In his character it was

That he was a husband and a father.


There was a man who enjoyed singing

And that he did well

Right before leaving this earth

He sang about a party in "céu"*.


There was once a man

His name was Moacy

He was a pastor and a woodworker

And, he was a daddy to me.
