Deus Está No Céu

Representative Text

1 Deus 'stá no céu. Pode Ele ouvir
O que um menino diz?
Sim, ouve a oração e quer
Tornar-te bem feliz.

2 Deus 'stá no céu. E vê dali
Se acaso faço mal?
Vê, sim, e lê no coração
E sabe se és leal.

3 Deus 'stá no céu. Oh, poderei
A vida nEle achar?
Sim, já com salvação e paz
Deus quer te abençoar.

4 Deus 'stá no céu. E saberá
Se algum dos Seus mentir?
Sim, sabe; e ao pecador fará
A Sua mão sentir.

5 Deus 'stá no céu. E cuidará
Dum Seu menino aqui?
Ah, sim, decerto velará
Com terno amor por ti.
