O Rei (Live Session)

In 'O Rei (Live Session)' by Comunidade Católica Colo de Deus, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of a divine encounter between the singer and a majestic King, symbolizing God. The song begins with the King entering the throne room, donning his royal garments, and taking up his scepter. This imagery evokes a sense of awe and reverence, highlighting the grandeur and authority of the King. The repeated line 'O Rei olhou pra mim' (The King looked at me) signifies a personal and intimate moment, suggesting that despite His majesty, the King acknowledges and sees the individual, making the divine encounter deeply personal and meaningful.

As the song progresses, the singer expresses a profound desire to give themselves entirely to the King, repeating the lines 'Eu vou me consumir' (I will consume myself) and 'Eu quero me entregar' (I want to surrender).

This powerful message of divine love and personal transformation resonates deeply, making 'O Rei (Live Session)' a moving and spiritually enriching song.
