Marsena
A Celestial Anthem of Praise and Devotion
Marsena's song "Ele é Exaltado / Grande é o Senhor" is a powerful hymn of worship and adoration, celebrating the greatness and eternal reign of God.

The repetition of the phrase "Ele é exaltado" (He is exalted) emphasizes the reverence and honor given to God, portraying Him as the supreme ruler whose truth and glory are everlasting.
The song also highlights the unity of creation in glorifying God's holy name. The mention of both "terra e céus" (earth and heavens) glorifying Him suggests a universal acknowledgment of His sovereignty. This imagery evokes a sense of awe and wonder, inviting listeners to join in the collective worship of the divine. The lyrics convey a deep sense of gratitude and trust in God's infinite love and eternal nature, reinforcing the idea that He is the ultimate source of life and salvation.

The lines "Queremos o Teu nome engrandecer" (We want to magnify Your name) and "E agradecer-Te por tua obra em nossa vida" (And thank You for Your work in our lives) reflect a profound appreciation for God's presence and actions. This sentiment of trust and devotion is encapsulated in the declaration of God's eternal nature, "Pois só Tu és o Deus eterno sobre toda terra e Céus" (For only You are the eternal God over all the earth and heavens), underscoring the unwavering faith of the worshippers.
