Terra fértil

In 'Terra fértil,' Além do Véu crafts a deeply spiritual narrative that speaks to the soul's yearning for divine connection and transformation. The song opens with a desire to enter the 'átrios do pai' (the courts of the Father), symbolizing a sacred space where one can rejoice in God's presence. This act of entering and prostrating oneself with reverence signifies a humble submission and a heartfelt offering of one's entire being—heart, life, and soul—to the divine.

The lyrics further delve into the metaphor of spiritual cultivation. The singer expresses a wish to 'colher o que há de bom em Tua palavra' (harvest the good in Your word) and rest in God's loving arms. This imagery of harvesting and resting suggests a cycle of receiving divine wisdom and finding peace in God's love. The plea for God's 'arado' (plow) to prepare their life and remove the 'pedras e os espinhos' (stones and thorns) highlights the desire for inner purification and readiness to become 'terra fértil' (fertile soil) for spiritual growth.

Moreover, the song emphasizes a deep dependency on God's love, likening the self to a 'pequena gota' (small drop) in God's vast ocean. This metaphor underscores the vastness of divine love and the singer's longing to be filled and overflow with God's presence. The repeated requests for God to 'prepara-me' (prepare me) and 'capacita-me' (equip me) reflect a sincere wish to be used by God without measure, surrendering the direction of their life entirely to divine guidance. 'Terra fértil' is a beautiful testament to the transformative power of faith and the profound desire for spiritual readiness and divine purpose.
