Quero Subir

The song 'Quero Subir' by Diante do Trono is a heartfelt expression of spiritual longing and devotion. The lyrics convey a deep desire to ascend to the 'monte Santo de Sião' (Holy Mountain of Zion), a metaphorical place representing closeness to God. This ascent is not just a physical journey but a spiritual one, where the singer seeks to offer a 'novo cântico' (new song) to God, symbolizing a fresh and sincere act of worship.

The repetition of the phrase 'Mais que palavras, minha vida eu quero entregar' (More than words, I want to give my life) emphasizes the depth of commitment and the desire for a life that reflects true devotion. The plea for purification of the heart to enter God's presence highlights the importance of inner purity and sincerity in worship. This theme is further reinforced by the imagery of offering praise that is 'um cheiro suave' (a sweet fragrance) and 'um som agradável' (a pleasant sound) to God, indicating that worship should be pleasing and acceptable to Him.

The song also underscores the act of worshiping 'em espírito e em verdade' (in spirit and in truth), which is a biblical reference to the kind of worship that God desires. The act of prostration 'aos Teus pés' (at Your feet) in the 'beleza da santidade' (beauty of holiness) signifies humility and reverence. The repeated declarations of God's worthiness ('pois digno És') serve as a reminder of His greatness and the honor due to Him. Overall, 'Quero Subir' is a powerful anthem of worship, purity, and the desire for a deeper connection with the divine.
