Vasos Quebrados (Sublime Graça)

In 'Vasos Quebrados (Sublime Graça),' Hillsong Em Português delivers a powerful message of redemption and transformation through divine grace. The song opens with the imagery of a shattered soul, symbolizing a state of brokenness and despair. However, this brokenness is not the end; it is the beginning of a journey towards healing and renewal, made possible by God's grace. The lyrics 'Em pedaços, Minha alma estava, Mas por Sua graça, Refeito sou' (In pieces, My soul was, But by His grace, I am remade) encapsulate this transformation beautifully.

The recurring theme of grace is further emphasized in the chorus, which is a Portuguese rendition of the classic hymn 'Amazing Grace.' The lines 'Sublime graça, Doce o som, Que salva o pecador' (Amazing grace, Sweet the sound, That saves the sinner) highlight the universal and timeless nature of grace. This grace is not earned but freely given, as the lyrics 'Sem nada em troca, Fui resgatado, Me libertou' (With nothing in return, I was rescued, He set me free) suggest. The song speaks to the profound impact of experiencing God's love and mercy, which opens the eyes of the spiritually blind and finds the lost.

The song also touches on the idea of being a vessel for God's power and love. Despite human flaws and weaknesses, the divine treasure resides within, as expressed in 'Mesmo com falhas, E com fraquezas, O Teu tesouro, Em mim está' (Even with flaws, And with weaknesses, Your treasure, Is in me). This notion is a call to surrender one's life to God, to be a vessel through which His power can be displayed to the world. The lyrics 'Minha vida entrego, Serei Teu vaso, Pro mundo ver, O Teu poder' (I give my life, I will be Your vessel, For the world to see, Your power) serve as a powerful reminder of the transformative potential of divine grace and love.
