A Humble Servant: Embracing Divine Purpose in 'Instrumento de Deus'
Lydia Moisés' song 'Instrumento de Deus' is a heartfelt declaration of faith and devotion, emphasizing the singer's role as a humble servant of God. The lyrics reflect a deep commitment to living a life that honors and glorifies God, rejecting worldly temptations and embracing a divine purpose. The opening lines, 'Senhor, tua palavra escondi, pra eu não pecar contra ti,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the importance of internalizing God's word to avoid sin and stay true to one's faith.
The song continues to explore the theme of divine calling and the recognition that all strength and abilities come from God. Moisés sings about the futility of human efforts without divine intervention, stating, 'O que eu posso cumprir sem o teu querer, O que eu posso fazer sem o teu agir.' This acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and the singer's dependence on Him is a central theme throughout the song. The repeated plea, 'Me usa Deus, eu sou teu instrumento,' underscores the desire to be used by God for His purposes, reinforcing the idea of being a vessel through which God's will is accomplished.
In the chorus, Moisés emphasizes that while she may perform actions such as singing, preaching, and praying, it is ultimately God who liberates, saves, and heals. This humility and recognition of God's power are further highlighted in the lines, 'Eu enfrento, mas quem vai na frente é Deus, Eu luto, mas quem vence a batalha é Deus.' The song concludes with a powerful affirmation of God's glory and the singer's unwavering commitment to praise and exalt Him in all circumstances. 'Nos palcos da terra te louvarei, Por onde for te exaltarei,' encapsulates the essence of the song, celebrating a life dedicated to worship and service to God.
