Só Quero Ver Você

The song 'Só Quero Ver Você' by Laura Souguellis, associated with the Forerunner Music label of the International House of Prayer (IHOP), is a deeply spiritual piece that expresses a yearning for divine connection and transformation. The lyrics convey a sense of intimacy and desire to be closer to the divine, which in the context of this song, is represented by Jesus. The song is sung in Portuguese and its title translates to 'I Just Want to See You,' reflecting the core message of the song.

The opening lines speak of a freedom from the need to hide or fear, which can be interpreted as the liberation one feels when they come into the presence of the divine. The 'veil' that has been torn is a reference to the veil in the Temple of Jerusalem that separated the Holy of Holies, where God's presence was believed to dwell, from the rest of the Temple. Its tearing signifies direct access to God, a theme central to Christian belief. The song then moves into a chorus that describes the transformative effect of beholding the divine, suggesting that seeing Jesus makes one more like him.

The latter part of the song poses a question about the angels' perception of God, which compels them to worship. This curiosity reflects a deep desire to experience God in the same profound way. The repeated lines 'Só quero, só quero, só quero ver Você' emphasize the singer's singular focus on the divine presence. The song is a worshipful declaration of the desire to see and be changed by the divine, a common theme in contemporary Christian music.
