Amado, por Ti Senhor
Marcos Witt
A Heart Conquered by Divine Love
Marcos Witt's song "Amado, por Ti Senhor" is a heartfelt expression of devotion and gratitude towards a divine savior. The lyrics open with a declaration of the singer's heart being conquered by the 'Bendito Salvador' (Blessed Savior), highlighting a personal and transformative relationship with the divine. This relationship is characterized by acceptance and love, as the singer acknowledges being accepted as they are, which speaks to the unconditional nature of divine love and grace.
The song continues to praise the 'Bendito Redentor' (Blessed Redeemer) and 'Amado Rei e Deus' (Beloved King and God), seeking a deeper connection and understanding by asking to see the divine face and to know Him more intimately. This desire for a closer relationship reflects a common theme in Christian worship music, where the believer yearns for a more profound spiritual experience and connection with God.
The chorus, repeated twice, emphasizes the singer's longing to be loved by the Lord. The repetition of the phrase 'Amado, por Ti Senhor' (Loved by You, Lord) and 'Amado, por Teu amor' (Loved by Your love) underscores the central theme of divine love and the singer's deep desire to be enveloped in it. This song is a beautiful representation of the Christian faith's emphasis on a personal and loving relationship with God, where the believer finds solace, acceptance, and a sense of belonging in the divine embrace.
