Escolho a Boa Parte

In 'Escolho a Boa Parte,' Aline Brasil delves into a profound expression of worship and devotion. The song's lyrics reflect a deep yearning to connect with the divine on a more intimate level, surpassing mere physical touch. The reference to 'touching the hem of your garment' alludes to the biblical story of the woman who was healed by touching Jesus' garment, symbolizing faith and the desire for a deeper spiritual connection. Aline Brasil expresses a longing to go beyond this, seeking a more profound and audacious form of worship by pouring out 'pure nard' at Jesus' feet, a gesture of extravagant adoration and humility.

The song draws a parallel with John, the beloved disciple, who is known for his close relationship with Jesus.

This desire to align with divine will is emphasized in the line 'Doing your will is what matters,' highlighting the importance of surrender and obedience in her spiritual journey.

The chorus, 'I choose the better part,' is a direct reference to the biblical story of Mary and Martha, where Mary chooses to sit at Jesus' feet and listen to Him, considered the 'better part.' Aline Brasil echoes this sentiment, expressing her choice to prioritize her relationship with Jesus above all else. Despite potential judgment from others ('Even if they think I'm crazy'), she remains steadfast in her devotion, emphasizing the transformative power of worship and the desire to be enveloped by divine glory. The song is a powerful testament to the depth of faith and the transformative journey of choosing to worship and adore the divine wholeheartedly.
