Nós Queremos Ver (Ah Se Os Nossos Dias)
Erick Mathias
A Yearning for Divine Revelation and Connection
Erick Mathias' song "Nós Queremos Ver (Ah Se Os Nossos Dias)" is a heartfelt plea for a deeper spiritual connection and divine revelation. The lyrics express a longing for the Holy Spirit to reveal the Son, and for the Son to reveal the Father, creating a profound sense of yearning for a closer relationship with the divine. This desire is not just for personal enlightenment but for a communal experience, as the repeated phrase "Nós queremos ver" (We want to see) suggests a collective aspiration for spiritual awakening.
The song draws on historical and biblical references, invoking the experiences of Peter, John, and John Wesley, among others. These figures are known for their profound spiritual encounters and the transformative impact they had on their communities. By referencing these individuals, Mathias is expressing a desire to witness similar divine manifestations in contemporary times. The line "Ah se os nossos dias fossem como daqueles homens que viram o Teu Espírito cair sobre um povo" (Oh, if our days were like those of the men who saw Your Spirit fall upon a people) underscores this longing for a revival of faith and spiritual fervor.
In the latter part of the song, Mathias emphasizes a sense of surrender and commitment to God's plan. The lyrics "Estou algemado a você e ao seu plano" (I am chained to you and your plan) and "Seu plano é bem maior que eu" (Your plan is much greater than me) reflect a deep sense of devotion and acknowledgment of a higher purpose. This surrender is portrayed as an acceptance of divine will over personal desires, highlighting the theme of humility and submission to a greater spiritual mission.
