Creia
Ivonaldo Albuquerque
Faith in the Unchanging Power of God
Ivonaldo Albuquerque's song "Creia" is a powerful testament to the unwavering faith in God's omnipotence and sovereignty. The lyrics emphasize that God is supreme and can do whatever He wills. To approach Him, one must have faith, especially when faced with seemingly insurmountable problems. The repetition of the line "Você precisa saber mais do seu Deus" (You need to know more about your God) underscores the importance of deepening one's understanding and relationship with God to navigate life's challenges.
The song recounts various biblical miracles to illustrate God's limitless power. References to parting the Red Sea, making a barren woman conceive, calming storms, and providing manna from heaven serve as reminders of God's past deeds. These miracles are not just historical events but are presented as evidence that God can still perform wonders today. The refrain "O que Deus fez no passado, hoje Ele pode fazer" (What God did in the past, He can do today) reinforces the belief in God's unchanging nature and His ability to intervene in human affairs.
The chorus, with its repeated call to "creia" (believe), encourages listeners to have faith and trust in God's word. It reassures that no matter how significant one's problems may seem, they are nothing to God. The song's message is clear: faith in God and His word is the key to overcoming any obstacle. By invoking biblical stories and miracles, Ivonaldo Albuquerque inspires believers to trust in God's enduring power and presence in their lives.
