The Unwavering Love of the Savior
The song "Só Jesus é Amigo Verdadeiro" by CCB - Congregação Cristã no Brasil, is a hymn that celebrates the transformative power of Jesus Christ's love and sacrifice. The lyrics express a personal testimony of how the singer's life was changed from sadness to joy through the virtue and greatness received from the Lord. The song is a declaration of the unique and sincere friendship that Jesus offers, which is unlike any other found in the world.
The chorus emphasizes that only Jesus is a true friend, one who has shown the ultimate act of love by giving His life on the cross. This act of sacrifice is a central theme in Christianity and is highlighted as the reason for the singer's desire to keep Jesus' love. The song reflects a deep sense of gratitude and a commitment to never forget the sincere love demonstrated by Jesus' crucifixion. The lyrics invite listeners to feel this love in their hearts, as it is the love that leads to heaven.
The final verses of the song assert that there is no greater love than that of Christ and no friend as faithful as He is. The love of Jesus is described as unparalleled and is personified in the figure of Emanuel, meaning 'God with us.' This reinforces the Christian belief in the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ and His presence in the lives of believers. The song is a powerful reminder of the Christian faith's core message of redemption and companionship through Jesus Christ.
