Oh! Que Glória

The song 'Oh! Que Glória' by Harpa Cristã is a heartfelt expression of Christian faith and the joy of salvation. The lyrics are a testament to the transformative power of Jesus Christ's sacrifice and the profound sense of peace and happiness that comes from trusting in Him. The repeated refrain, 'Oh! Que glória! Oh! Que glória! Gozo em meu coração!' (Oh! What glory! Oh! What glory! Joy in my heart!), emphasizes the overwhelming joy and gratitude the singer feels for their salvation.

The song highlights the futility of human efforts to achieve salvation through works alone, as seen in the lines, 'Para obter tão grande gozo / Muito e muito trabalhei / Mas debalde todo esforço / Crendo só é que o achei' (To obtain such great joy / I worked very hard / But all effort was in vain / Only by believing did I find it). This underscores a core tenet of Christian doctrine: salvation is a gift of grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ, rather than through human effort.

Furthermore, the lyrics express a deep commitment to living a life dedicated to Jesus, as evidenced by the verse, 'Consagrado ao Teu serviço / Quero eu pra Ti viver / Dando sempre o testemunho / De Tua graça e Teu poder' (Consecrated to Your service / I want to live for You / Always giving testimony / Of Your grace and Your power). This dedication is not just about personal salvation but also about sharing the message of Jesus' grace and power with others. The song is a powerful reminder of the joy and peace that come from a life of faith and the importance of spreading that joy to the world.
