Tua Glória Enche Toda a Terra

The song 'Tua Glória Enche Toda a Terra' by Igreja Cristã Maranata is a powerful hymn that exalts the glory and sovereignty of God. The lyrics emphasize the omnipresence of God's glory, stating that it fills the entire earth. This imagery suggests that God's presence is all-encompassing and ever-present, a central tenet in Christian theology. The repetition of the phrase 'Teu nome é sobre todo nome' (Your name is above every name) underscores the supremacy of God's name, which is a common theme in worship songs, highlighting the reverence and honor due to Him.

The song also delves into personal devotion and salvation, with lines like 'Tu és o dono da minha vida' (You are the owner of my life) and 'É só em ti que tenho salvação' (It is only in you that I have salvation). These lyrics reflect a deep sense of surrender and acknowledgment of God's role as the savior and guide in the believer's life. The act of worship is portrayed as a lifelong commitment, with the singer pledging that their lips will forever praise God.

In the latter part of the song, there is a focus on the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Phrases like 'Aquele que morreu, mas a morte venceu' (The one who died but overcame death) and 'Aquele que ressuscitou, sobre a morte triunfou' (The one who resurrected, triumphed over death) celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over death. This section reinforces the Christian belief in Jesus' sacrifice and His role as the redeemer. The song concludes with a doxology, giving glory and dominion to Jesus Christ for eternity, which is a traditional way to end hymns, encapsulating the eternal praise and worship due to God.
