Tem Muito Mais
David Quinlan
A Deep Yearning for Divine Presence
David Quinlan's song 'Tem Muito Mais' is a heartfelt expression of longing for a deeper connection with the divine. The lyrics convey a sense of spiritual yearning and a desire for more of God's presence, holiness, and transformative power. The repetition of phrases like 'Posso ver no teu olhar' (I can see in your eyes), 'Posso ouvir a tua voz' (I can hear your voice), and 'Posso sentir o teu tocar' (I can feel your touch) emphasizes the intimate and personal relationship the singer seeks with God. This intimacy is not just about feeling close but about experiencing more of God's essence and fire, which symbolizes passion and purification.
The chorus, 'Tem muito mais, mais de ti Senhor, mais do Teu fogo' (There is much more, more of You Lord, more of Your fire), highlights the insatiable desire for a deeper spiritual experience. The fire mentioned here is a common biblical metaphor for God's presence and power, often associated with purification and transformation. By asking for 'mais do Teu fogo' (more of Your fire), the singer is seeking a profound change and a closer walk with God.
Additionally, the song calls for 'Mais Santidade Senhor' (More Holiness Lord) and 'Mais do Teu vinho novo' (More of Your new wine), which are metaphors for spiritual renewal and sanctification. The plea for purification, 'Purifica-me Senhor' (Purify me Lord), underscores the desire to be cleansed and made holy, ready to receive more of God's presence. This song is a powerful prayer set to music, reflecting a deep spiritual hunger and a quest for a more profound and transformative relationship with the divine.
