As Cordas do Coração

The song 'As Cordas do Coração' by Harpa Cristã is a profound spiritual reflection on the transformation and purification of the human soul through faith in Jesus Christ. The lyrics use the metaphor of musical strings to represent the human heart, which is tuned to praise the Master, Jesus. The song emphasizes that sin cannot produce this harmonious sound; only the sacrifice at Golgotha (Calvary) can tune the heartstrings to their proper pitch.

The repeated exclamations of 'Aleluia! Glória a Deus' celebrate the divine act of tuning the soul at Golgotha, where Jesus' sacrifice took place. This act of tuning is not just a one-time event but a continuous process of refinement, as the lyrics suggest that Jesus takes great care in maintaining and improving the harmony of each soul. The transformation from a discordant state in the world to a harmonious state in Christ is a central theme, highlighting the profound change that faith brings.

The song also serves as an invitation to listeners, encouraging them to come to the cross with love to experience this divine tuning. It promises that those who do will find harmony and peace in Jesus, the ultimate tuner of souls. The imagery of musical tuning is a powerful metaphor for spiritual alignment and purification, making the song both a declaration of faith and a call to spiritual renewal.
