Dono da Igreja

In the song "Dono da Igreja" by Gerson Rufino, the artist delves into the spiritual and sacred nature of the church, emphasizing that it belongs solely to Jesus Christ. The lyrics critique those who treat the church as a personal enterprise, buying and selling seats, and claiming ownership over it. Rufino highlights the misguided actions of individuals who build walls around the church, metaphorically and literally, to exclude others, asserting their control over what they perceive as their domain.

Rufino poetically reminds listeners that the church is the bride of Jesus, a holy body born from the sacrifice on the cross. He underscores that no human, whether it be José, Pedro, Paulo, or João, can claim ownership of the church. This powerful message serves as a reminder that the church transcends human authority and is under the divine guardianship of Jesus Christ alone.

The song further describes the church as not being tied to earthly identifiers such as tax IDs, flags, or media presence. Instead, it is characterized by spiritual symbols like the rod, staff, and oil in its lamp. Rufino paints a vivid picture of the church as a beautiful, diverse entity, not confined to any specific color or media ownership. The church's true identity is known only to Jesus, who recognizes and cherishes it beyond any human understanding or control.
