Quem É Esse?
Beatriz Andrade
The Divine Power and Majesty of Jesus
Beatriz Andrade's song "Quem É Esse?" is a powerful declaration of the divine attributes and authority of Jesus Christ. The lyrics are a profound exploration of Jesus' omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience, emphasizing His control over all elements of the universe—earth, sky, and sea. The song opens with rhetorical questions that highlight Jesus' ability to calm storms and command obedience from all creation, including the forces of evil. This sets the stage for a vivid portrayal of His supreme power and authority.
The song continues by describing Jesus' interactions with natural elements and His dominion over life and death. The imagery of Jesus speaking with thunder, holding the sun, and resurrecting the dead underscores His unparalleled might. The repeated question, "Quem é Ele?" (Who is He?), is answered emphatically: "Ele é Jesus" (He is Jesus), the author of faith. This declaration is a central theme, reinforcing the belief in Jesus as the ultimate source of spiritual strength and salvation.
Further, the song extols Jesus' holy and majestic nature, using a series of exalted titles such as Santo (Holy), Tremendo (Tremendous), and Poderoso (Powerful). These descriptors paint a picture of a deity who is both awe-inspiring and intimately involved in the lives of believers. The lyrics also touch on Jesus' timelessness, referring to Him as the God of the past, present, and future. This eternal aspect is coupled with His role as a protector and sustainer, providing comfort and strength to His followers. The song concludes with a powerful affirmation of Jesus' identity as Eloim, El Shaday, Adonai, and the eternal Savior, encapsulating the essence of Christian faith and worship.
