Feliciano Amaral
A Call to Seek Christ in Secrecy
Feliciano Amaral's song 'Vai buscar' is a poignant call to seek Christ in secrecy and urgency. The repeated phrase 'Vai buscar' (Go seek) emphasizes the importance of finding solace and guidance in Christ. The lyrics suggest a personal and intimate relationship with Christ, urging the listener to seek Him in secret, away from the distractions and chaos of the world. This intimate seeking is portrayed as a necessary and urgent action, as the repeated line 'O tempo está passando' (Time is passing) reminds us of the fleeting nature of life and the importance of spiritual readiness.
The song also conveys a sense of divine calling and urgency. The lines 'Está chamando, me chama para o Trono' (He is calling, calling me to the Throne) and 'De Deus escuto em minh'alma a voz' (I hear God's voice in my soul) reflect a deep spiritual experience where the individual feels a direct and personal call from God. This call is described as persistent and powerful, likened to a 'raio' (lightning), indicating the sudden and impactful nature of divine intervention.
Furthermore, the song addresses the human condition of fear and turmoil, as seen in the line 'Tormenta açoita, vem pecador temendo' (The storm lashes, the sinner comes fearing). This imagery of a storm represents the trials and tribulations of life, and the sinner's fear highlights the need for divine refuge. The song reassures that amidst these fears and challenges, the voice of God can still be heard, guiding and calling the individual towards spiritual salvation. The overall message is one of hope and urgency, encouraging listeners to seek Christ earnestly and without delay.
