Sou Teu

The song 'Sou Teu' by Comunidade Católica Shalom is a heartfelt expression of devotion and surrender to a higher power. The lyrics convey a deep yearning for spiritual renewal and transformation. The opening lines, 'Restabelece em mim o dom de si / Toma-me em tuas mãos / Dá-me um novo coração,' reflect a plea for restoration and a new beginning, symbolizing a desire to be reshaped and guided by divine hands.

The imagery of 'Gota de orvalho em ti eu quero ser / Me derramar, me perder / Em teu mar de misericórdia' evokes a sense of humility and self-abandonment. The metaphor of a dew drop merging into a vast sea of mercy illustrates the singer's wish to dissolve their ego and be enveloped by divine compassion. This theme of surrender is further emphasized by the acknowledgment of personal imperfections and the transformative power of divine love: 'Sei que inconstante e imperfeito sou / Mas o teu compassivo amor / Me faz em ti me abandonar.'

The chorus, 'Sou teu, teu é o meu amor / Tua doce voz me cativou / Sou teu, tua é a minha vida / Mata minha sede de água viva,' encapsulates the essence of the song. It speaks of a profound belonging and a life dedicated to the divine. The 'sweet voice' that captivates and the 'living water' that quenches thirst are powerful symbols of spiritual fulfillment and eternal love. The song beautifully captures the tension between human frailty and the unwavering desire to love and be loved by the divine, making it a moving testament to faith and devotion.
