Pensando Em Jesus
Harpa Cristã
The Sweetness of Contemplation in Jesus
The song 'Pensando Em Jesus' by Harpa Cristã is a profound reflection on spiritual contemplation and the pursuit of divine light. The lyrics emphasize the importance of taking time to think about Jesus, which leads to the dissipation of darkness and the search for the light. This act of meditation and reflection is described as a sweet and precious moment, where Jesus’ invitation to spiritual elevation is joyfully accepted.
The song employs sensory metaphors to illustrate the spiritual experience. The idea of 'voar sem temo' ('fly without fear') and 'buscar o amor do véu' ('seek the love of the veill') suggests a spiritual ascent, a pursuit of something beyond the material world. The phrases 'doce ventura' ('sweet joy') and 'aspecto feliz' ('happy aspect') indicate the inner transformation that occurs when the soul connects with the divine. The song celebrates this new nature that the soul acquires when blessing the presence of Jesus.
Moreover, the lyrics incorporate elements of nature, such as 'bramido do mar' ('roar of the sea') and 'carpido da ave' ('lament of the bird'), to symbolize the harmony and beauty of God’s creation. These elements are presented as heavenly chords that bring to the ears the hymns of God, reinforcing the idea that nature itself is a manifestation of divine love. The song concludes with the soul longing to walk the 'senda gloriosa' ('glorious path'), expressing the deep desire to understand the mysteries of heaven and the unveiled light that Jesus offers.
