Ele é Deus

The song 'Ele é Deus' by Coral de Mulheres do Templo Central is a powerful and reverent anthem that exalts the omnipotence and omnipresence of God. The repetitive declaration 'Ele é Deus' (He is God) serves as a constant reminder of the central theme of the song: the acknowledgment and worship of God's supreme power and authority. The lyrics are rich with biblical references and titles that highlight different aspects of God's character, such as 'Deus forte, poderoso' (Mighty, powerful God), 'a raiz de Davi' (the root of David), and 'alfa e ômega' (Alpha and Omega), emphasizing His eternal nature and His role as the beginning and the end of all things.

The song also incorporates a declamation that calls for stillness and recognition of God's exalted status among the nations and peoples. This segment underscores the universal sovereignty of God, portraying Him as the 'Leão da tribo de Judá' (Lion of the tribe of Judah) and 'Deus proverá' (God will provide). These titles not only reflect God's strength and provision but also His justice, holiness, and faithfulness, as He is described as 'Justo, santo e fiel' (Just, holy, and faithful) and 'Reis dos reis, o Emanuel' (King of kings, Emmanuel).

Furthermore, the song invokes several names of God from the Hebrew tradition, such as 'Jeová rafá' (The Lord who heals), 'Jeová nissi' (The Lord is my banner), 'Jeová shalom' (The Lord is peace), and 'Jeová shammah' (The Lord is there). These names highlight God's multifaceted nature and His intimate involvement in the lives of His followers. The repeated affirmations of God's power and presence serve to inspire awe and devotion, reminding listeners of His unparalleled excellence and the futility of any power that tries to resist His presence. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of God's eternal and unchanging nature, celebrating Him as the 'Pai da eternidade e príncipe da paz' (Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace).
