É Ele

The song 'É Ele' is a deep expression of Christian faith and devotion. The lyrics reflect the spiritual preparation and humbleness in front of the greatness of God. The line 'Estou preparando um caminho, endireitando as veredas' refers to the mission of John the Baptist, who prepared the way for the arrival of Jesus, as described in Isaiah 40:3 and Matthew 3:3. In the same way, the idea of 'cada vez mais diminuindo porque importa que Ele cresça' is another direct reference, this time to John 3:30, where John the Baptist says: 'He must increase, but I must decrease'.

The song emphasizes the centrality of Christ in the life of the believers. The repetition of 'E é Ele, por Ele que eu estou gastando a minha vida, perdendo tudo por amor e com alegria' highlights the total surrender and joy in serving God. This surrender is an act of love and devotion, where the believers find pleasure and purpose. The expression 'Dono dos meus dias' reinforces God's authority over the individual's life, indicating a complete surrender to the Lord's will.

The expectation of Christ's second coming is a recurring theme in the song. The phrase 'E Ele virá, soberano em poder, Ele virá' expresses the hope and certainty of Jesus' return, an event eagerly awaited by Christians. The mention that 'E o governo está Nele' and that He brings 'consigo a sua recompensa' alludes to the promise of an eternal and just kingdom, as described in Revelation 22:12. The song, therefore, not only celebrates Christ's presence in the lives of Christ's elect, but also the future hope of His coming and the establishment of His kingdom.
