Pai Nosso (Our Father)

Ministério Cristo Vivo's song 'Pai Nosso' is a heartfelt musical rendition of the Lord's Prayer, a central prayer in Christian liturgy. The lyrics are a direct invocation to God, echoing the words of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Bible. The song begins with the familiar lines, 'Pai nosso que estás no céu, Santificado é o teu nome,' which translates to 'Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.' This opening sets a tone of reverence and worship, acknowledging the sanctity and holiness of God's name.

The repeated plea for God's kingdom to come—'Venha a nós o teu reino'—is a central theme in the song. This line reflects a deep yearning for divine intervention and the establishment of God's rule on earth, mirroring the heavenly order. The repetition of 'Teu reino vem' (Your kingdom comes) emphasizes the urgency and fervor of this prayer, highlighting the believers' desire for a world governed by divine principles of justice, peace, and love.

The song concludes with a powerful declaration of God's eternal sovereignty: 'Pois teu é o reino, Teu é o poder, Tua é a glória, Pra sempre, amém.' This final verse reaffirms the belief in God's ultimate authority and glory, which transcends time and space. The use of 'amém' (amen) signifies agreement and affirmation, sealing the prayer with a collective acknowledgment of faith. Through its simple yet profound lyrics, 'Pai Nosso' serves as a musical bridge between the earthly and the divine, inviting listeners to partake in a spiritual journey towards a higher realm of existence.
