Grandioso És Tu
CCB - Congregação Cristã no Brasil
A Hymn of Praise and Victory in Faith
The song "Grandioso És Tu" performed by CCB - Congregação Cristã no Brasil, is a hymn that exalts Jesus Christ as a figure of ultimate power and victory over evil. The lyrics express deep reverence and gratitude towards Jesus, acknowledging his triumph over sin and his exalted position 'à destra do Poder,' which translates to 'at the right hand of Power,' a biblical reference to Jesus' ascension to heaven and his place of honor beside God.
The hymn continues to emphasize the liberation that Jesus provides to believers, freeing them from 'escravidão,' or slavery, which metaphorically refers to the bondage of sin. The gratitude expressed in the song is for the spiritual freedom and victory that Jesus grants to those who follow him. The chorus, 'Grandioso és Tu, Senhor Jesus,' which means 'Great are You, Lord Jesus,' serves as a powerful and repetitive affirmation of Jesus' greatness and the singer's devotion.
In the final verses, the song speaks of Jesus as the 'divinal Cordeiro,' or divine Lamb, an allusion to the sacrifice of Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. The lyrics conclude with a universal acknowledgment of Jesus' sovereignty, where 'Todo o joelho há de se dobrar,' meaning 'Every knee shall bow,' echoing the prophecy that all will ultimately recognize Jesus' divine authority. This hymn is a declaration of faith, celebrating Jesus' majesty and the hope of victory for believers.
