Protegido (feat. Bispo Bruno Leonardo)

Alex Soares' song 'Protegido,' featuring Bispo Bruno Leonardo, is a powerful testament to faith and divine protection. The lyrics draw heavily from biblical references, particularly Psalm 91, which speaks of God's unwavering protection for those who seek refuge in Him. The song opens with a declaration of worship for the Almighty, emphasizing the safety and shelter found under His wings. This imagery of divine protection is a recurring theme, symbolizing a sense of security and peace that transcends earthly fears and dangers.

The lyrics repeatedly affirm the singer's trust in God's protection, even in the face of overwhelming odds. Phrases like 'Pode mil cair de um lado e dez mil à minha direita' (A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand) highlight the singer's confidence that no harm will come to them as long as they remain under God's care. This unwavering faith is further reinforced by the repetition of 'me guarda e protege de todo mal' (He guards and protects me from all evil), creating a mantra-like effect that underscores the song's central message.

The song also delves into the idea of divine intervention and salvation. It speaks of God delivering the faithful from various perils, such as 'o laço do passarinheiro e da peste perniciosa' (the snare of the fowler and the deadly pestilence). This not only highlights the protective nature of God but also His role as a savior who responds to the cries of His people. The lyrics convey a deep sense of trust and reliance on God's promises, making 'Protegido' a song of hope and reassurance for believers.
