Montes De Sião

The song 'Montes De Sião' by Corinhos Evangélicos is a powerful declaration of faith and reliance on Jesus Christ. The repeated refrain, 'Não, não dá, sem Jesus não dá,' emphasizes the essential role of Jesus in the lives of believers. This phrase, which translates to 'No, it doesn't work, without Jesus it doesn't work,' underscores the idea that life is incomplete and unmanageable without the presence and guidance of Jesus. The repetition of this line serves to reinforce the message, making it a central theme of the song.

The lyrics draw a vivid comparison between those who trust in the Lord and the 'montes de Sião' or 'Mountains of Zion.' This metaphor suggests that believers, like these mountains, are unshakable and enduring. The Mountains of Zion, which surround Jerusalem, symbolize strength, stability, and eternal presence. By likening the faithful to these mountains, the song conveys a sense of security and permanence that comes from trusting in God. This imagery is deeply rooted in biblical references, particularly from the Psalms, which often speak of Zion as a place of divine protection and blessing.

Furthermore, the song highlights the omnipotence and sovereignty of God. Phrases like 'Autoridade e poder, o domínio em suas mãos' ('Authority and power, dominion in His hands') and 'o senhor é Deus, o senhor é rei dos povos' ('the Lord is God, the Lord is king of the peoples') affirm God's supreme authority over all creation. The call for the earth to be silent before Him and for people to bow and raise their hands in worship reflects a deep reverence and acknowledgment of God's majesty. This aspect of the song encourages believers to recognize and submit to God's ultimate power and to find comfort in His protective presence.
