No Tempo Dele

Eliã Oliveira's song 'No Tempo Dele' delves into the biblical story of Lazarus, emphasizing the themes of faith, divine timing, and the miraculous power of Jesus. The lyrics recount the moment when Martha and Mary send a message to Jesus, informing Him of their brother Lazarus's illness. Despite their urgent plea, Jesus delays His arrival, leading to Lazarus's death. This delay causes great distress and confusion for Martha and Mary, who lament that if Jesus had been there, Lazarus would not have died.

The song captures the emotional turmoil and the sense of hopelessness that Martha and Mary experience as they wait for Jesus. The repeated phrase 'Jesus não chega' (Jesus does not arrive) underscores their despair as they go through the rituals of mourning and burial. However, the turning point comes when Jesus finally arrives after four days. Despite their initial confusion and grief, Jesus reassures them with calm authority, promising to resurrect Lazarus. This moment highlights the central message of the song: miracles happen in God's time, not ours.

'No Tempo Dele' is a powerful reminder of the importance of faith and patience. Jesus's words to Martha, 'Eu vou chegar no tempo' (I will arrive in time), serve as a comforting assurance that divine intervention will occur at the right moment. The song encourages listeners to remove the 'stone of unbelief' and trust in God's plan, even when it seems delayed. Eliã Oliveira's passionate delivery and the song's evocative lyrics inspire a deep sense of trust in the divine, reinforcing the belief that God is always in control and that His timing is perfect.
