Embracing Faith: The Radical Decision in 'A Decisão'
Ludmila Ferber's song 'A Decisão' is a powerful declaration of faith and surrender to divine will. The lyrics are deeply rooted in Christian beliefs, particularly the story of the woman who was healed by touching the hem of Jesus' garment. This biblical reference sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the transformative power of faith and the desire for spiritual healing. The repeated phrase 'Se tão somente eu tocar na orla do Seu manto' (If only I touch the hem of His garment) underscores the singer's belief in the miraculous power of Jesus and the hope for personal healing and liberation.
The song progresses to a moment of vulnerability and honesty before God. The lines 'Chegou a hora de me abrir de vez / Não há como esconder de Ti quem sou' (The time has come to open up completely / There is no way to hide who I am from You) reflect a deep sense of self-awareness and the need to confront one's own pain and flaws. This moment of transparency is crucial for the spiritual journey, as it allows for genuine transformation and healing. The singer acknowledges that true change requires divine intervention, as expressed in 'Pode mudar o que preciso for / Pode mexer no que tiver que ser' (You can change whatever needs to be changed / You can touch whatever needs to be touched).
'A Decisão' culminates in a bold declaration of faith and commitment to God's will. The decision to 'estar completamente em Tuas mãos' (be completely in Your hands) signifies a radical shift towards a life guided by faith and divine power. The song's climax, 'A decisão em mim é radical / Vou me lançar no sobrenatural' (The decision in me is radical / I will throw myself into the supernatural), highlights the singer's readiness to embrace the unknown and trust in God's power. This act of faith is celebrated with worship and adoration, as the singer repeatedly praises Jesus for His divine nature and transformative power. The song is a testament to the profound impact of faith and the willingness to surrender to a higher power for healing and liberation.
