Digno É o Cordeiro

'Digno É o Cordeiro' by Casa de Davi is a powerful worship song that exalts the holiness and majesty of Jesus Christ. The lyrics are a declaration of reverence, repeatedly affirming that Jesus is 'holy' and 'worthy' of receiving glory, honor, and power. The song draws heavily from biblical imagery, particularly from the Book of Revelation, where Jesus is depicted as the Lamb who was slain and is worthy of all praise.

The song begins by acknowledging Jesus as the Lamb ('Cordeiro') who deserves all glory, strength, honor, and power. This is a direct reference to Revelation 5:12, where the heavenly hosts proclaim the worthiness of the Lamb. The mention of angels and cherubim around the throne further emphasizes the divine setting and the celestial worship that Jesus receives. The repetition of 'Tu és santo' (You are holy) underscores the central theme of the song: the holiness of Jesus.

As the song progresses, it lists various titles and attributes of Jesus, each followed by the declaration of His holiness. These titles include 'Leão da tribo de Judá' (Lion of the Tribe of Judah), 'Raiz de Davi' (Root of David), and 'Estrela da manhã' (Morning Star), all of which are messianic titles found in the Bible. The vivid imagery of Jesus as the 'Cavaleiro do cavalo branco' (Rider on the white horse) with 'eyes like flames of fire' and a 'sharp sword in His mouth' is drawn from Revelation 19, portraying Jesus as the triumphant King and Judge. The song culminates with the proclamation that Jesus is the 'Rei dos Reis, Senhor dos Senhores' (King of Kings, Lord of Lords), a title that signifies His supreme authority over all creation.

'Digno É o Cordeiro' is not just a song but a profound act of worship that invites believers to join in the heavenly chorus, acknowledging the unmatched holiness and sovereignty of Jesus Christ. It serves as a reminder of His victory over death, His resurrection, and His eternal reign, encouraging worshippers to reflect on His divine nature and respond with adoration and praise.
