Finda-se este dia

“Finda-se este dia” by João Alexandre is a heartfelt prayer set to music, reflecting a deep sense of gratitude, repentance, and a plea for divine protection. The song begins with the acknowledgment of the end of a day given by the Father, transitioning into the evening with a sense of peace and trust in Jesus. The lyrics convey a serene acceptance of the night, as long as Jesus is present, ensuring a peaceful sleep without fear.

The second verse delves into a personal confession, where the singer admits to having sinned and seeks forgiveness out of love for Jesus. This verse highlights the humility and vulnerability of the singer, portraying a childlike dependence on divine mercy. The request for protection from evil and the attainment of natural joy in tranquility further emphasize the desire for spiritual and emotional well-being.

In the third verse, the prayer extends beyond personal needs to encompass others. The singer asks for the safety of sailors, comfort for those in pain, and mercy for the guilty. This broadens the scope of the prayer, showing compassion and empathy for the suffering of others. The final verse expresses gratitude for parents, friends, divine love, and the holy law, culminating in a plea for Jesus to hear the prayer. The song closes with a reaffirmation of trust, allowing the singer to sleep securely and without hesitation, encapsulating a profound sense of faith and reliance on divine care.
