Quero Conhecer Jesus
Bruna Lima
A Journey to Know Jesus: A Song of Humility and Divine Love
In 'Quero Conhecer Jesus,' Bruna Lima delves into the profound themes of humility, divine love, and the human desire for spiritual connection. The song begins with a powerful admission: 'O meu orgulho me tirou do jardim,' which translates to 'My pride took me out of the garden.' This line suggests that the speaker's pride has distanced them from a state of grace or spiritual purity, symbolized by the garden. The garden here can be seen as a metaphor for Eden or a place of divine presence and peace, which is lost due to human flaws like pride.
The next line, 'Tua humildade colocou jardim em mim,' meaning 'Your humility placed a garden in me,' contrasts the speaker's pride with the humility of Jesus. This humility is so powerful that it plants a metaphorical garden within the speaker, indicating a transformation or redemption. The song emphasizes that true love, especially divine love, cannot be bought or earned through material means or personal achievements. 'Pois o amor não se compra e nem se merece o amor se ganha de graça ou recebe,' translates to 'For love cannot be bought, nor deserved; love is given freely or received.' This highlights the unconditional nature of divine love, which is a central tenet in Christian theology.
The repeated refrain, 'Eu quero conhecer Jesus,' or 'I want to know Jesus,' underscores the speaker's yearning for a deeper spiritual relationship. This desire to know Jesus is not just about intellectual understanding but about experiencing His love and humility firsthand. Bruna Lima's heartfelt delivery and the simplicity of the lyrics make this song a poignant reminder of the transformative power of humility and the boundless nature of divine love.
