I once served at a church whose congregation included two women from Brazil who were also singers. Wanting them to sing for the rest of the congregation, I searched for a song for them on Global Worship Tumblr and found the work of pastor and songwriter Tito Cruz.
I really liked the straightforwardness and simplicity of "Adore A Majestade (Worship The Majesty)," as well as the pleasant surprise picardy third at the end. (We omitted the opening strings). The congregants from Brazil translated the lyrics from Portuguese and I transcribed the chord chart. When we performed the piece for the congregation, it was well-received, including the dominant portion of our congregation that didn't speak Portuguese. Lyrics and translation are below.
Lyrics (Portuguese):
Nao há entre os Deuses semelhantes a ti Senhor,
Quem se compare a sua Gloria.
Nao há outro Deus no cėu, na terra ou no mar.
Nem há outro pelo qual todo joelho se dobrará.
Nem há outro pelo qual todo joelho se dobrará.
Adore a Majestade, adore Rei dos reis
Exaltado ė acima dos cėus
Entronizado entre as nações
Adore a Majestade, adore Rei dos reis
Exaltado ė acima dos cėus,
Entronizado entre as nações, entronizado entre as nações
English translation:
There is none among the gods like you, Lord.
Who can compare to your glory.
There is no other God in heaven, earth or sea.
Nor is there another, that every knee shall bow.
Nor is there another, that every knee shall bow.
Worship the Majesty
Worship the King of kings
Exalted He is above the heavens,
Enthroned among nations.
Worship the majesty
Worship the King of kings
Exalted he is above the heavens,
Enthroned among nations.
Enthroned among nations.
