Comunhão

The song 'Comunhão' by Harpa Cristã is a hymn that celebrates the Christian ritual of communion, which is a central act of worship in many Christian denominations. The lyrics invite the faithful to gather around the Lord's table, calling upon Jesus and seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit, referred to as 'Teu Paracleto,' to fill them with holy fervor. The song emphasizes the importance of communion as a time to remember and celebrate the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the 'bom Redentor' or good Redeemer.

The second verse reflects on the humility and love of Jesus, referencing the moment when he washed the feet of his disciples as an example for them to follow. This act of service is a powerful symbol of the humility and love that should reign among believers. The breaking of bread and sharing of the cup are described as Jesus' instructions to his followers to remember his body and blood, sacrificed for them. The 'Nova Aliança de amor' or New Covenant of love through Jesus' blood is a call for grace and renewed strength on the path of light.

In the final verse, the worshippers express their desire to honor Jesus' memory through the act of communion, acknowledging its infinite value to their faith. The song 'Comunhão' is not just a call to worship but a reminder of the deep significance of the communion ritual in Christian faith, serving as a symbol of unity, remembrance, and the everlasting love of Jesus Christ for humanity.
