Oh Profundidade

Fernandinho's song 'Oh Profundidade' is a profound meditation on the infinite wisdom and knowledge of God. The lyrics draw heavily from biblical themes, particularly from the Apostle Paul's doxology in Romans 11:33-36. The song opens with an awe-struck acknowledgment of the 'depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God,' emphasizing the unfathomable nature of God's judgments and the inscrutability of His ways. This sets the tone for a worshipful reflection on the divine attributes that are beyond human comprehension.

The rhetorical questions posed in the lyrics—'Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor? Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?'—serve to highlight the sovereignty and self-sufficiency of God. These questions remind the listener of the vast chasm between human understanding and divine wisdom, reinforcing the idea that God's ways and thoughts are higher than ours. The repetition of the phrase 'Porque dEle, e por Ele, para Ele são todas as coisas' (For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things) underscores the centrality of God in all aspects of existence, affirming that everything originates from, is sustained by, and ultimately returns to Him.

The song culminates in a series of doxologies, giving glory to God 'eternally, amen.' This repetitive declaration of God's glory serves as both a personal and communal act of worship, inviting listeners to join in the acknowledgment of God's eternal worthiness. The final lines, 'Tu és digno, Jesus' (You are worthy, Jesus), bring the focus to Christ, affirming His divinity and worthiness of praise. Fernandinho's musical style, characterized by its contemporary worship elements, enhances the lyrical content, making 'Oh Profundidade' a powerful anthem of reverence and adoration.
