A Cry for Revival: Kezya Nunes' 'Avivamento'
Kezya Nunes' song 'Avivamento' is a heartfelt plea for spiritual revival within the church and the world. Drawing inspiration from the prophet Habakkuk, the lyrics call upon God to renew His works and bring about a powerful transformation. The repetition of the phrase 'Senhor, aviva a tua obra' (Lord, revive Your work) underscores the urgency and deep desire for a divine intervention that can rejuvenate faith and bring about miraculous changes.
The song vividly describes the signs of true revival, such as miracles, salvation, and supernatural healings. Nunes expresses a longing to witness the deaf hear, the blind see, and the lame walk, symbolizing the breaking of physical and spiritual barriers. This imagery is not just about physical healing but also about the restoration of faith and the repentance of sinners. The repeated call for 'o verdadeiro avivamento' (the true revival) emphasizes the need for a genuine transformation that leads to repentance and a renewed commitment to God.
Furthermore, 'Avivamento' addresses the current state of the world, referencing Isaiah 33 to highlight the moral and spiritual decay. The lyrics lament the cooling of love and the loss of essence in the world, urging God to transform the church into a source of life and healing. The metaphor of the church as 'manancial' (a spring) and 'casa de pão' (house of bread) signifies a place of nourishment and transformation, where true revival can take root and flourish. Through this powerful song, Kezya Nunes calls for a return to spiritual fervor and a deep, transformative revival that can heal and restore both individuals and communities.
