Boa Semente

Words are treated as seeds in this Portuguese song. "Eu tenho cuidado com minhas palavras, que geram sementes, que devem brotar" ("I am careful with my words, which produce seeds that should sprout") leads to what should grow, "em bondade, justiça, verdade que estão no Senhor." The link between speech and results echoes Proverbs 18:21 on the power of the tongue.

The next lines explain the source: "a minha boca vai falar do que está em meu coração" ("my mouth will speak what is in my heart"), a close echo of Luke 6:45. From that follows a prayer, "por isso eu quero me encher, Senhor, me encher da Tua palavra" ("so I want to be filled, Lord, filled with Your word"), which resembles Colossians 3:16 about letting Christ's word dwell richly.

The chorus turns into a mission statement, repeated several times: "Por onde eu for eu vou abençoar, com uma boa semente" ("wherever I go I will bless, with a good seed"). The aim of being a blessing to others is the promise made to Abraham in Genesis 12:2. The verses and chorus then repeat, so the song is about the same intention stated twice.
