Digno é o Cordeiro

“Digno é o Cordeiro” by Davi Silva is a powerful worship song that exalts the holiness and majesty of Jesus Christ. The title, which translates to “Worthy is the Lamb,” sets the tone for the entire song, emphasizing the worthiness of Jesus to receive glory, honor, and power. The lyrics draw heavily from biblical imagery, particularly from the Book of Revelation, where Jesus is often referred to as the Lamb who was slain and is worthy of all praise.

The song begins by acknowledging the Lamb's worthiness to receive glory, strength, honor, and power. This is a direct reference to Revelation 5:12, where the heavenly hosts proclaim the worthiness of the Lamb. The mention of angels and cherubim around the throne, along with a cloud of glory, paints a vivid picture of the heavenly worship scene. This imagery is meant to evoke a sense of awe and reverence, inviting the listener to join in the celestial worship.

As the song progresses, it continues to exalt Jesus by listing various titles and attributes that highlight His divine nature and victorious acts. Phrases like “Aquele que venceu a morte” (He who conquered death) and “Leão da tribo de Judá” (Lion of the tribe of Judah) celebrate Jesus' resurrection and His royal lineage. The repeated declaration of “Santo, santo, santo” (Holy, holy, holy) underscores His absolute holiness and sets a tone of deep reverence. The song also references Jesus as the “Raiz de Davi” (Root of David) and the “Estrela da manhã” (Morning Star), further emphasizing His messianic fulfillment and eternal presence.

The vivid descriptions of Jesus as the “cavaleiro do cavalo branco” (rider on the white horse) with “olhos como chama de fogo” (eyes like flames of fire) and a “manto de sangue” (robe dipped in blood) are drawn from Revelation 19:11-16. These images symbolize His righteous judgment and His role as the ultimate victor over evil. The inscription on His thigh, “Rei dos reis, Senhor dos Senhores” (King of kings, Lord of lords), affirms His supreme authority over all creation. The song concludes with a powerful refrain of “Tu és santo” (You are holy), leaving the listener in a state of worship and adoration.
