Toda Terra (The Whole Earth)
Diante do Trono
A Divine Reign: The Majesty of Jesus in 'Toda Terra'
The song 'Toda Terra (The Whole Earth)' by Diante do Trono is a powerful declaration of the sovereignty and majesty of Jesus Christ. The lyrics emphasize the transient nature of earthly kingdoms and the eternal reign of Jesus. The opening lines, 'As nações se abalam, os reinos já passaram / Reina Jesus,' highlight the instability of human governments and the unchanging, sovereign rule of Jesus. This sets the tone for the entire song, which is a celebration of divine authority and glory.
The chorus, 'Declaramos que o Teu reino chegou / Declaramos o teu reino aqui,' is a proclamation of the arrival and presence of God's kingdom on Earth. The imagery of God's glory filling the whole earth and the heavens praising Him ('Tua glória encheu toda terra / Os céus Te dão o louvor') paints a picture of a world in awe of its Creator. The song invites listeners to join in this universal worship, recognizing the holiness and unmatched power of God.
The repeated calls for Jesus to shine ('Brilha Jesus') and the comparison of His glory to waters covering the sea ('Como as águas cobrem o mar, Tua glória encherá') further emphasize the pervasive and overwhelming nature of God's presence. The song concludes with a powerful affirmation of God's uniqueness and supremacy, 'Não há outro Deus, que se compare / A criação se prostra diante da Tua face,' reminding listeners that all of creation bows before Him. 'Toda Terra' is a stirring anthem that calls believers to acknowledge and celebrate the divine reign of Jesus over all the earth.
