Que Misterio É Este

Marcos Antônio's song "Que Misterio É Este" delves into the profound and often incomprehensible nature of existence and divine love. The lyrics repeatedly ask, "What mystery is this?" reflecting a deep sense of wonder and awe at the complexities of life and the universe. The song opens with a contemplation of existence itself, pondering how we exist without fully understanding the mechanisms behind it. This theme is further explored through the creation of the world and the foreknowledge of human actions, such as Adam's sin in the Garden of Eden, highlighting the omniscience and omnipotence of the divine.

The chorus emphasizes the unparalleled nature of divine love, describing it as incomparable and immense. This love is portrayed as a source of salvation and a fundamental need for the singer, who feels unwell when distant from it. The metaphor of divine love being like a flower bud opening adds a layer of beauty and delicacy to the concept, suggesting that this love is both powerful and gentle. The repetition of the phrase "misterioso és Tu senhor" underscores the enigmatic and awe-inspiring nature of the divine.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics reflect on the personal experience of feeling close to divine love through singing and the unwavering reliability of divine words. The song also touches on the divine control over life and death, reinforcing the idea of a higher power that governs all aspects of existence. The closing lines reiterate the mystery of the divine, encapsulating the song's central theme of reverence and wonder towards a higher power that is both the beginning and the end of all things.
