Ousado Amor de Deus
Deigma Marques
The Bold and Boundless Love of God
Deigma Marques' song "Ousado Amor de Deus" is a powerful testament to the overwhelming and unconditional love of God. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a divine love that existed even before the singer was aware of it. The opening lines, "Antes de eu falar, Tu cantavas sobre mim," suggest that God's love and care were present long before the singer could even acknowledge it. This preemptive love is further emphasized with the line, "Antes de eu respirar, Sopraste tua vida em mim," indicating that God's love is the very breath of life itself.
The chorus, with its repeated declaration of God's "impressionante, infinito e ousado amor," highlights the extraordinary and limitless nature of this divine love. The metaphor of leaving the ninety-nine to find the one is a direct reference to the Parable of the Lost Sheep from the Bible, illustrating God's relentless pursuit of each individual. This imagery underscores the personal and intimate nature of God's love, which is not based on merit or worth but is freely given.
The song also touches on themes of redemption and transformation. The lines, "Inimigo eu fui, Mas teu amor lutou por mim," and "Não tinha valor, Mas tudo pagou por mim," speak to the transformative power of God's love, which fights for and redeems even those who feel unworthy. The imagery of bringing light to shadows, scaling mountains, and breaking down walls further emphasizes the lengths to which God's love will go to reach and rescue the individual. This relentless and bold love is both awe-inspiring and humbling, reminding listeners of the profound and personal nature of divine grace.
