Quanto Tempo Faz

Mara Lima's song "Quanto Tempo Faz" delves into the theme of spiritual renewal and the rediscovery of faith. The lyrics poignantly ask the listener how long it has been since they last prayed, cried in their room, or sang a hymn of victory. These questions serve as a wake-up call, urging the listener to reflect on their spiritual practices and the state of their faith. The repetition of the phrase "Quanto tempo faz" (How long has it been) emphasizes the passage of time and the potential neglect of one's spiritual life.

The song then shifts to a message of hope and renewal. It speaks of a divine intervention where God will place a new song in the listener's mouth, encouraging them to glorify His holy name. This promise of a "grande renovo" (great renewal) suggests that no matter how long it has been since one felt spiritually alive, there is always an opportunity for rejuvenation and joy. The presence of God is portrayed as a source of happiness and spiritual revival, ready to fill the listener's life with meaning and purpose once again.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics address the loss of joy and the gift of prophecy, highlighting how a life without spiritual connection can feel sad and empty. The song serves as both a reminder and an invitation to reconnect with one's faith, to find joy in spiritual practices, and to embrace the renewal that God offers. Mara Lima's heartfelt delivery and the song's introspective lyrics make it a powerful call to return to a vibrant and fulfilling spiritual life.
