A Ordem É Pra Marchar
Lucia Lima
Marching Forward: A Divine Command
Lucia Lima's song "A Ordem É Pra Marchar" is a powerful anthem that draws inspiration from the biblical story of Moses parting the Red Sea. The lyrics recount the moment when Moses, faced with an impassable sea and the Egyptian army closing in, calls out to God for help. God's response is clear and commanding: "Do not stand still, begin to march." This divine directive serves as the central theme of the song, urging believers to move forward with faith and determination, regardless of the obstacles they face.
The song emphasizes the importance of action and faith in overcoming adversity. The repeated refrain, "A ordem de Deus pra mim é pra marchar" (God's order for me is to march), reinforces the idea that standing still is not an option for believers. The lyrics suggest that the Holy Spirit will provide the necessary movement and strength to keep going. This message is particularly resonant in the face of life's challenges, symbolized by the sea, the rocks, and the pursuing Pharaoh.
Lucia Lima also addresses the various ways the enemy tries to hinder believers, from spreading false stories to setting traps. However, the song reassures listeners that God will expose and defeat these adversaries if they continue to march forward. The repeated calls to "marche, Igreja marche" (march, Church, march) serve as a rallying cry for the entire community of believers, encouraging them to unite and move forward together. The song's energetic and repetitive structure mirrors the relentless forward motion it advocates, making it both a spiritual and motivational anthem.
