Melhor é dar

Asaph Borba's song 'Melhor é dar' delves into the profound concept of giving and its intrinsic connection to love. The lyrics emphasize that giving is more rewarding than receiving, mirroring the selfless nature of Jesus Christ. Borba highlights the importance of giving to those in need, whether they are hungry or in need of help. However, he also points out a critical distinction: while it is possible to give without love, true love inherently involves giving. This idea is encapsulated in the repeated line, 'Mas é impossível amar sem dar' (But it is impossible to love without giving).

The song further explores the ultimate act of love and giving through the example of Jesus. Jesus gave his life and heart, extending his hand in love and forgiveness. This act of ultimate sacrifice is presented as the epitome of giving, driven by profound love. Borba uses this example to illustrate that genuine love always involves a willingness to give, whether it be one's time, resources, or even life itself. The song's message is clear: true love is selfless and generous.

Borba also reflects on the divine love of God, who gave not out of surplus but from the best of what He had. This act of giving is portrayed as the ultimate expression of love, setting a standard for how we should love others. The repetition of the phrase 'Pois sei que é possível dar sem amar, mas é impossível amar sem dar' reinforces the central theme that love and giving are inseparable. Through this song, Borba encourages listeners to embrace a life of generosity and love, following the example set by Jesus and God.
