Ele Vive / Porque Ele Vive (Because He Lives)

Juliano Son's song 'Ele Vive / Porque Ele Vive' is a powerful anthem celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The lyrics vividly describe the dramatic events surrounding Jesus' crucifixion, such as the earth trembling and the veil in the temple tearing. These events symbolize the breaking of barriers between humanity and God. The song emphasizes the paradox of the 'Immortal' dying, highlighting the profound mystery and sacrifice of Jesus' death on the cross.

The recurring question, 'Morte, onde está a sua glória?' (Death, where is your glory?), underscores the defeat of death through Jesus' resurrection. This rhetorical question, followed by the declaration 'Está consumado' (It is finished), signifies the completion of Jesus' mission and the establishment of God's Kingdom. The repetition of 'Sim, Ele vive' (Yes, He lives) serves as a triumphant affirmation of Jesus' victory over death, bringing hope and renewal to believers.

The song also conveys a message of hope and assurance for the future. The lines 'Porque Ele vive, posso crer no amanhã' (Because He lives, I can believe in tomorrow) and 'Temor não há' (There is no fear) reflect the confidence and peace that come from faith in the resurrected Christ. The assurance that 'a nossa espera não é vã' (our waiting is not in vain) reinforces the belief in the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises. Juliano Son's heartfelt delivery and the song's uplifting melody make 'Ele Vive / Porque Ele Vive' a moving declaration of faith and hope in the Christian tradition.
