The Christian music scene welcomes a release with global impact. Naomi Raine, the Grammy-winning American singer and former member of the renowned collective Maverick City Music, unveils the Portuguese version of “Be Glad” in an unprecedented collaboration with Brazilian artist Sued Silva.
The recording took place in New York City, marking a significant moment in Naomi’s career. As she enters a defining new chapter as a solo artist, the project reflects her desire to expand creative horizons and build bridges with different cultures. The choice of New York underscores the global character of the release and symbolizes a meeting point between diverse expressions of faith through music.

The Portuguese version of “Be Glad” preserves the spiritual strength of the original composition, now enriched with vocal nuances that bring the message closer to Portuguese-speaking audiences.

Lyrics: Me Alegrarei (Be Glad) – Portuguese Version
Hoje é o dia
Que o Senhor fez
Cheio de graça
E bênçãos outra vez
Vou erguer minha voz, erguer minha voz
E cantar
Talvez não tenha
Tudo o que sonhei
Mas tenho certeza
De que Ele me sustém
Vou erguer minha voz, erguer minha voz
E cantar (com o meu coração)
Oh, oh, oh
Cantarei
Me alegrarei
Grato sou pelo que és
Te adorarei
No fogo ou na tempestade
O que vier
Oh, eu cantarei
Me alegrarei
Maravilhoso és
Poderoso Tu és
Glorioso Tu és
Tão lindo Tu és
Tenho razão pra louvar
Tenho razão pra viver
Eu decidi hoje me levantar
Declarar Tua bondade enquanto eu viver
Lyrics: (Be Glad) – English Version
Today is the day
That the Lord has made
Full of grace
And blessings once again
I will lift my voice, lift my voice
And sing
Maybe I don’t have
Everything I dreamed of
But I’m certain
That He sustains me
I will lift my voice, lift my voice
And sing (with all my heart)
Oh oh oh
I will sing
I will rejoice
I’m grateful for who You are
I will worship You
In the fire or in the storm
Whatever comes
Oh, I will sing
I will rejoice
Wonderful You are
Powerful You are
Glorious You are
So beautiful You are
I have a reason to praise
I have a reason to live
I’ve decided today to rise
And declare Your goodness as long as I live
