Me Consagro a Ti

“Me Consagro a Ti” by Frei Gilson is a heartfelt devotional song dedicated to the Virgin Mary, expressing deep reverence and commitment. The lyrics reflect a personal consecration to Mary, acknowledging her pivotal role in the Christian faith. The song begins with the singer approaching Mary to consecrate themselves, recognizing that through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, they have become her child. This act of consecration is a profound spiritual gesture, symbolizing a complete dedication to following her example and teachings.

The song highlights Mary's unwavering faith and her pivotal 'yes' to God's plan, which initiated a new creation and brought about reconciliation. This reference to Mary's acceptance of her role as the mother of Jesus underscores her importance in the salvation narrative. The repetition of the phrase “do teu sim, brotou” (from your yes, sprouted) emphasizes the transformative power of her consent, which led to the birth of Jesus and the redemption of humanity.

The lyrics also celebrate Mary's blessedness, as generations proclaim her as 'bem aventurada' (blessed). This echoes the biblical passage where Mary is called blessed among women, and the fruit of her womb, Jesus, is acknowledged as the Savior. The song culminates in a declaration of consecration to Mary, recognizing her as the Immaculate Mother of God. The singer expresses a desire to imitate her path and follow Jesus' teachings, reinforcing the theme of devotion and spiritual commitment. Frei Gilson's musical style, often characterized by its serene and contemplative nature, enhances the song's meditative and reverent atmosphere, making it a powerful piece for personal reflection and worship.
