De Ti Careço, Ó Deus

The song 'De Ti Careço, Ó Deus' by Hinário Adventista is a deeply spiritual and heartfelt plea for divine guidance, strength, and presence. The lyrics express a profound need for God's presence in the singer's life, emphasizing the desire to remain faithful and victorious through the trials and tribulations of life. The repeated phrase 'De ti careço, ó Deus' (I need you, oh God) underscores the central theme of dependence on divine support and guidance.

The song also highlights the relationship between the believer and Jesus, referring to Him as the savior and protector. The lyrics 'Jesus, meu salvador / Sê comigo aqui' (Jesus, my savior / Be with me here) reflect a personal and intimate connection with Jesus, seeking His blessing and expressing faith in His power. This personal relationship is further emphasized by the request for Jesus to make the singer a 'humilde servidor' (humble servant), indicating a desire to live a life of service and humility under divine instruction.

Additionally, the song touches on the importance of adhering to God's holy law and feeling His immense love. The lines 'Em tua santa lei / Senhor, vem-me instruir' (In your holy law / Lord, come instruct me) and 'E teu tão grande amor / Almejo então sentir' (And your great love / I long to feel) convey a yearning for spiritual growth and a deeper understanding of God's love. The final verses acknowledge God as the ultimate protector and source of eternal salvation, providing strength and vigor during times of trial. This song is a beautiful expression of faith, dependence, and the desire for a closer relationship with the divine.
