Olharei Pro Alto

Manú Paiva's song 'Olharei Pro Alto' is a heartfelt expression of unwavering faith and trust in divine providence, even in the face of life's most challenging moments. The lyrics convey a deep sense of reliance on God, emphasizing that even when one cannot see His hand at work, there is a profound trust that He is present and providing. This theme is encapsulated in the lines, 'Mesmo na tribulação / Posso não ver tua mão / Mas sei que posso confiar / Em Deus eu posso descansar,' which translate to 'Even in tribulation / I may not see Your hand / But I know I can trust / In God I can rest.' This sentiment reflects a common experience in spiritual journeys where faith is tested, yet remains steadfast.

The song also highlights the concept of divine provision and miracles, suggesting that no matter how dire the circumstances, there is always hope and support from above. The repeated refrain, 'Olharei pro alto, de onde vem socorro,' meaning 'I will look up, from where help comes,' reinforces the idea that looking towards the divine is a source of strength and victory. This is further supported by the imagery of being 'firm on the rock,' symbolizing a solid foundation of faith that cannot be shaken by life's storms.

Additionally, 'Olharei Pro Alto' serves as a testimony of faith meant to inspire others. The lyrics, 'Terei o testemunho / E contarei ao mundo que tu és meu Deus,' which mean 'I will have the testimony / And I will tell the world that You are my God,' indicate a commitment to sharing one's faith journey and the miracles experienced with the broader community. This aspect of the song underscores the importance of witnessing and spreading the message of hope and trust in divine love and promises.
