Cristo

Alessandro Vilas Boas' song "Cristo" is a profound exploration of the beauty and mystery of Jesus Christ. The lyrics reflect a deep, personal relationship with Christ, emphasizing the enduring sweetness and fascination that His name and presence bring to the believer's life. The repetition of phrases like "Ainda é doce em meus lábios" (It is still sweet on my lips) and "Sua eterna beleza" (His eternal beauty) underscores the timeless and unchanging nature of Christ's allure and the singer's unwavering devotion.

The song also serves as a prayer for spiritual enlightenment, with the repeated plea, "Ó, Espírito, abre os meus olhos outra vez" (Oh, Spirit, open my eyes again). This line highlights the desire to continually rediscover and appreciate the divine beauty of Christ, suggesting that there is always more to learn and experience in one's spiritual journey. The pursuit of God's glory and wisdom is depicted as a quest that ultimately leads to finding Christ, who is described as the ultimate revelation of God's beauty and pleasure.

In the chorus, the singer repeatedly asks, "Qual a beleza que existe em Ti que eu ainda não vi?" (What beauty exists in You that I have not yet seen?), indicating a longing to uncover deeper layers of Christ's magnificence. This question reflects a humble acknowledgment that no matter how much one knows or experiences of Christ, there is always more to discover. The song concludes with the affirmation that Christ is the ultimate gift from God, the revealed beauty of the Father, encapsulating the essence of divine love and grace.
