Notes

• Lyrics Verification: The lyrics are sourced from Letras.mus.br (web ID 0), Cifra Club (web IDs 1, 2, 21), Letras.com (web IDs 4, 12, 15), Vagalume (web ID 5), and WeChords (web ID 19), confirmed against Hinário 5, Hino 441. They are accurate, with lines like “Eu sou um cordeirinho, Jesus é o meu Pastor” and “Não sigo a voz do estranho, mas só a paternal” matching the official text. Some sources (e.g., Vagalume, web ID 5) use “voz estranha” instead of “voz do estranho”; both are acceptable, but “voz do estranho” is standard per Cifra Club (web ID 2). The hymn, of unknown composer (public domain, per web ID 22), reflects the biblical metaphor of Jesus as the Good Shepherd (John 10), emphasizing trust and divine guidance, per Letras.mus.br (web ID 9).
• Chords: The D, A, A7, G, Em, Bm progression is from Cifra Club (web ID 1) and WeChords (web ID 19), designed for congregational singing. Chordify supports D major, though some simplify by omitting Bm (using A7 instead); I’ve kept Bm for authenticity. Strum gently to support vocals, ensuring clean transitions between D and A7. The chords suit the hymn’s tender, pastoral tone.
• Playing Tips: Use a clean acoustic or lightly amplified tone (e.g., nylon-string guitar or organ emulation) to match CCB’s worship style. The tempo is slow (~80 BPM estimated); follow the choir or lead singer’s phrasing. For organ, sustain chords to fill the sound. If accompanying a flute (per web ID 11), ensure chords don’t overpower the melody, using arpeggios if needed.
• Transposition: If D major is too high, try a capo on the 1st fret and play C, G, G7, F, Dm, Am, or transpose to C major (C, G, G7, F, Dm, Am) using Cifra Club’s transposer. For a lower key, try G major (G, D, D7, C, Am, Em).
• Context: "Eu Sou Um Cordeirinho" (Hino 441, Hinário 5) is a cherished CCB hymn, symbolizing a believer’s meekness and reliance on Jesus as the Shepherd. It’s widely sung in services, per YouTube (web ID 12) and Apple Music (web ID 14), and covered by artists like Isabelle Santiago (2022, web ID 14). The hymn’s themes of innocence and divine protection resonate with CCB doctrine, per Letras.com (web ID 6).
