echoes of majesty...

Sometimes I feel as if Heaven echoes back what it hears from Earth.

"God! I need you"
-"Paulo, I need you"

"God, where are you? "
-Paulo, where are you? "

"Why have you forsaken me?"
-"Why have you forsaken me? "

"God, above everything I give you my heart"
-"Paulo, above everything I gave you my life; now my heart is all yours"

"Come!"
-"Please come"

"God? I love you"
-

You are...

You are, You are
The reason to believe
that one day, what a beautiful day,
this nation will be changed.

You are, You are
The everlasting light
The holy man from Israel
My sweet love

How can I try to walk
neglecting your overwhelming love
If even before I could understand
You came and surrendered yourself for me

Come and be that consuming fire
The seal of my heart
That flame that comes and burns
in the deepest places of who I am.

"un"Glory experience

After spending a month away from You and your word, I've discovered many things about me and who I truly am. A man without God or any feeling that connects him with something above becomes like a survivor in a world that has lost it's purpose, where every day comes and goes with no light or colors. We become dominated by the routine and focused only in our personal desires.

I hope and believe that never again will I do such an experience. If Your desire is to turn my life into an experience of Glory then I have come to see these past times as the times of vases of dishonor and chains; but without a shadow of doubt I have come to understand a little bit more the desperation of my generation, the cry that Jesus had in him when he felt forsaken and abandoned; so many that feel as if they're left to fate without perceiving the reality and Royalty of Your Love, so pure yet intense.

We can't understand your love, because our world has been transformed by the lack of it...Sin is capable of deforming our essence and taking away the only pleasure that is truly capable of satisfying, to be drawn closer to You.

It has been more than 6 months since my heart has felt what it means to be Home; Ever since I have stepped the land of my nation I have faced temptations and striving that are taking place so deep in my soul. Free me! When will you come? my Love, my Rock, when will you come? The rains of early spring announce a new season, when will your waters come over my heart? Start this legacy that you've promised me; start this revolution of love...
