Querida Alma

The song 'Querida Alma' by Hinos Avulsos CCB is a heartfelt spiritual anthem that speaks to the soul's journey towards divine beauty and purity. The lyrics encourage the listener to embrace a life of spiritual dedication and obedience to God. The imagery of growing hair to serve as a veil and lengthening dresses symbolizes modesty and a commitment to living a life that is pleasing to God. This is further emphasized by the call to be 'bela' (beautiful) and 'pura' (pure) for God, suggesting that true beauty is found in spiritual purity and devotion.

The song draws a parallel to the biblical figure of Esther, who is known for her beauty and her role in saving her people. The lyrics 'Vista de sol, ponha a lua aos teus pés' (Dress in the sun, put the moon at your feet) and 'Se prepara pro teu Rei querida Ester' (Prepare for your King, dear Esther) evoke a sense of divine preparation and readiness to meet the King, symbolizing God. This metaphor highlights the importance of inner beauty and spiritual readiness, suggesting that God recognizes and values the beauty of the soul.

The song also addresses the theme of divine protection and reassurance. The lines 'Não tenhas medo em me agradar' (Do not be afraid to please me) and 'Com o inferno inteiro por ti lutarei' (I will fight the entire hell for you) convey a message of unwavering divine support and love. The assurance that 'a tua beleza está na tua alma' (your beauty is in your soul) reinforces the idea that true beauty is internal and spiritual. The song concludes with a promise of divine selection and protection, affirming that the soul has been chosen by God and will never be abandoned.
