Ronaldo Correa Júnior - Hello, My God (Lyric Video)

Verse 1 It’s been too long since I spoke Your holy name, I drifted far, caught in the world's bright, empty game. The winding roads led only to an aching void, The promises of pleasure were so quickly destroyed. My spirit yearned for something honest, truly real, The peace Your presence alone could make me feel. Now, standing here, with weary steps and a low sigh, I look toward Your dwelling and simply say, "Hi." Bridge My feet have traveled down a thousand careless ways, I sought joy through self-directed, wasted days. Like a tired swallow, far from the spring's warm, familiar nest, My worn and heavy wings demanded only rest. Though I wandered far and chose the lonely, backward track, My inner compass always showed the way back. The wild journey ended, and the need became too great, I am returning now, before it is too late. Chorus Hello, my God, my long-forgotten Friend, I missed your quiet presence, on which all good things depend. I came back here, where true affection starts, To find the shelter for my fragmented parts. Though I strayed so long and let my worship lapse, I found no comfort in the world’s empty traps. My heart refused to settle in those distant lands, I only find true peace within Your loving hands. Verse 2 I spent the treasure you had patiently bestowed, On foolish things that eased the temporary load. I purchased empty pleasure, fading into dust, A hollow wealth built on a broken trust. My pockets are empty, nothing left that truly shines, But only broken pieces and blurred, faint lines. My hope diminished, yet one truth remained clear, I knew Your steady grace was always waiting here. Verse 3 I walked away from truth to follow a fleeting gleam, Awakening now, as if from a troubled dream. I searched for nourishment in places dry and barren, The soul grew thinner, and the weight became too heavy. The bitter taste of freedom without Your guiding light, Left my spirit shivering through the long, night. I couldn't adapt to the land of the stranger, I found myself exposed to every hidden danger. Chorus Hello, my God, my long-forgotten Friend, I missed your quiet presence, on which all good things depend. I came back here, where true affection starts, To find the shelter for my fragmented parts. Though I strayed so long and let my worship lapse, I found no comfort in the world’s empty traps. My heart refused to settle in those distant lands, I only find true peace within Your loving hands. Verse 4 I return ashamed, a prodigal soul now bent, With tattered robes and days so wrongly spent. My fragile heart is wounded, weary from the fight, Yearning for healing in Your warm and holy light. I come convinced that only here can I belong, To mend my spirit and resume my joyful song. The truth remains: this is my certain, destined place, Restored entirely by Your unconditional grace. Verse 5 I saw the emptiness in every promised prize, The hungry longing reflected in their eyes. They offered water from a well that wouldn't fill, My soul was restless, standing strangely still. I tried to build a dwelling where Your name was not, But every fragile structure quickly went to rot. The lesson learned, though costly, is now crystal clear. My true and constant home is only found near here. Final Verse The separation is over, the long journey ends, The deepest healing for my broken spirit sends. I didn't settle where the ground was cold and hard, My truest self was always pulling toward Your yard. I lift my gaze and whisper, "Father, I am here." Your love dispels the sorrow and quiets every fear. No more wandering, no more striving to succeed, I've made my nest at last, fulfilling every need.
