MUSIC USED IN PODCAST

  • Music Break at 38:13 - Minha Alma tem Sede de Deus (My soul thirsts for God) - with Juliano Ravanello.

My soul thirsts for God

And longs for the living God

Pilgrim and happy walking

To the house of God

Amid shouts, praise and joy

Of the jubilant multitude

Send your light your truth

They will be my guide

Lead me to your holy mountain

To your dwelling place

Then I will go to the altars of the Lord

God of my joy

I will sing Your praise with the sound of the harp

My Lord and my God

When I shall have the joy of seeing

The face of God.
