Eu poderia estar
Em qualquer outro lugar
Mas Tua glória me atraiu
Tua presença me atraiu

Tentei me esconder
Por medo de não viver
Mas Tua glória me atraiu
Tua presença me atraiu

É que a sarça pegou fogo e não se consumiu
E a voz que saiu dela um dia me atraiu
E o meu coração queimou até que descobriu
Que um dia com Tua glória vale mais que mil

Atraído pela Tua presença

Atraído pela Tua presença
Não me cansarei da Tua presença

Meaning & Inspiration
"Me Atraiu" ("You Drew Me") describes an encounter powerful enough to override every alternative, admitting the singer could have been anywhere else yet was drawn specifically by God's glory and presence. A second verse adds honesty about resistance, describing an attempt to hide out of fear rather than presenting attraction to God as immediate or uncomplicated.
The song's central image retells the account of the burning bush, a flame that did not consume what it burned, with the voice that spoke from it identified as the same voice that drew the singer. That direct connection between an ancient encounter and personal experience frames the song's attraction to God as continuous with how he has always revealed himself.
A repeated comparison, valuing a single day in God's glory above a thousand elsewhere, echoes a well-known psalm's declaration of preference. Rooted in contemporary Brazilian worship, the song functions as testimony of ongoing pursuit, repeating its central claim of being drawn and not growing weary of God's presence throughout its structure.
