Simples Como Jesus

In 'Simples Como Jesus,' Daniel Alencar expresses a deep yearning to emulate the qualities of Jesus Christ. The song's lyrics are a heartfelt prayer, asking for the transformation of the singer's heart and character to mirror that of Jesus. Alencar's desire to love what Jesus loves and to be where Jesus is reflects a profound spiritual aspiration to align his life with divine principles. This longing is not just for external actions but for an internal change, seeking a heart that beats in sync with the values and virtues of Jesus.

The repeated plea, 'Eis-me aqui, disponível eu estou,' which translates to 'Here I am, I am available,' signifies a readiness to be used by God. Alencar's willingness to be God's hands on Earth underscores a commitment to service and humility. The song emphasizes the importance of being 'Santo como Tu, Puro como Tu és,' or 'Holy like You, Pure like You are,' highlighting the pursuit of holiness and purity as central themes. This pursuit is not portrayed as a lofty, unattainable goal but as a simple, sincere desire to live a life that reflects Jesus' simplicity and humility.

The lyrics also address the struggle against sin, with Alencar asking God to 'Tira o meu prazer pelo pecado,' or 'Take away my pleasure for sin.' This line reveals a recognition of human frailty and a plea for divine intervention to cultivate the character of Jesus within. The repetition of this request emphasizes the earnestness of the singer's plea. Ultimately, 'Simples Como Jesus' is a song about transformation, humility, and the sincere desire to live a life that is simple, pure, and aligned with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
