Cheguemo-nos pois

Cláudio Claro's song "Cheguemo-nos pois" is a profound spiritual anthem that invites believers to approach God with boldness and confidence. The lyrics draw heavily from Christian theology, particularly the concept of entering the 'Holy of Holies,' a sacred space in the Jewish temple where God's presence was believed to dwell. This act of approaching God is made possible 'pelo sangue de Jesus' (by the blood of Jesus), signifying the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, which, according to Christian belief, grants believers direct access to God.

The song emphasizes a 'novo caminho' (new way) that Jesus has consecrated for believers. This new path is one of grace and truth, allowing worshippers to come before God's throne with 'corações verdadeiros' (true hearts) and 'inteira certeza de fé' (full assurance of faith). The imagery of the 'trono da graça' (throne of grace) underscores the mercy and love that believers can expect to find in God's presence. The call to 'cantemos a vitória do cordeiro' (sing the victory of the lamb) celebrates Jesus' triumph over sin and death, reinforcing the theme of victory and redemption.

The chorus of the song shifts to a doxology, proclaiming that Jesus is 'digno de receber o louvor, a glória e o poder' (worthy to receive praise, glory, and power). This declaration of Jesus as the 'Deus exaltado' (exalted God) and 'Eterno vencedor' (eternal victor) serves as a reminder of His divine authority and eternal reign. The song, therefore, is not just a call to worship but also a declaration of faith in Jesus' ultimate victory and sovereignty, encouraging believers to live in the light of this truth.
