Promessas

The song 'Promessas' by Igreja Cristã Maranata is a heartfelt expression of faith and trust in the promises of God. The lyrics emphasize the greatness of God's promises and the certainty of their fulfillment in the believer's life. The repetition of the phrase 'Grandes são senhor tuas promessas' (Great are Your promises, Lord) underscores the unwavering belief in the divine assurances that will manifest in various aspects of life, including family, friends, and community.

The song speaks to the transformative power of faith, envisioning a future where loved ones and neighbors come to understand and embrace the 'obra de poder' (work of power) that resides within the believer. This work of power is a metaphor for the Holy Spirit's influence and the miraculous changes it can bring about. The lyrics convey a sense of hope and anticipation for the conversion and spiritual awakening of those close to the singer, highlighting the communal aspect of faith and the desire for collective salvation.

Furthermore, 'Promessas' reflects a deep sense of gratitude and worship. The singer envisions a time when their home will be complete, serving the Lord and praising Jesus for His infinite love. The mention of 'enfermidades curadas' (healed illnesses) suggests a belief in the physical and spiritual healing that comes from faith. The song culminates in a celebration of Jesus' boundless love, reinforcing the idea that divine promises are not only about future fulfillment but also about experiencing God's love and power in the present.
