Calvário

The song 'Calvário' by Communion delves deeply into the themes of sacrifice, redemption, and eternal victory through the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The lyrics recount the harrowing journey of Christ carrying the cross, not just as a physical burden but as a symbol of the immense weight of humanity's sins and sorrows. This act of bearing the cross is portrayed as an ultimate gesture of love, where Jesus takes upon Himself the pain and guilt of the world, offering solace and redemption to all believers.

The chorus emphasizes the paradoxical nature of the cross: while it is a symbol of immense suffering and sacrifice, it also represents the ultimate victory for believers. The 'cross of Calvary' is depicted as a source of eternal life and hope, with Jesus' resurrection ensuring that He will live forever, providing a promise of eternal reunion in heaven. This duality of the cross as both a symbol of pain and a beacon of hope is central to the song's message.

Furthermore, the song highlights the transformative power of Jesus' sacrifice. By modifying history through His crucifixion, Jesus instills faith in His followers, assuring them of His eventual return in glory. The repetition of the idea that Jesus took on 'our pain' and 'our guilt' underscores the personal connection believers feel with His sacrifice. The song concludes with a hopeful note, envisioning a future where believers will reunite with Jesus in heaven, reinforcing the theme of eternal victory and divine love.
