Ruja o Leão (feat. Duda Andrade)

“Ruja o Leão” by Marcus Salles, featuring Duda Andrade, is a powerful worship song that exalts the majesty and justice of Jesus Christ. The lyrics are deeply rooted in Christian theology, portraying Jesus as the eternal King who will return to govern the nations with love. The imagery of the lion roaring symbolizes strength, authority, and the awe-inspiring presence of Jesus. This metaphor is often used in Christian literature to represent Jesus as the Lion of Judah, a title that signifies His royal lineage and divine power.

The repetition of the phrase “Que ruja o Leão e que a terra estremeça” (Let the Lion roar and the earth tremble) emphasizes the overwhelming impact of Jesus' presence. It suggests that His return will be a moment of great significance, causing a profound reaction in the world. The song also highlights Jesus' attributes as the descendant of David, a reference to His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. By calling Jesus “the most notable man” who loves justice and hates iniquity, the lyrics underscore His perfect moral character and His role as the righteous judge.

The song's chorus and verses create a sense of anticipation and reverence, celebrating Jesus as the one “who was, who is, and who is to come.” This phrase encapsulates the eternal nature of Jesus, affirming His presence throughout all of time. The call to shout His name, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,” serves as an invitation for worshippers to actively participate in the adoration of Christ. The song's structure, with its repetitive and declarative style, reinforces its message of divine majesty and justice, making it a powerful anthem for Christian worship.
