Essência da Adoração / Abraça-me / Abraça-me

The song 'Essência da Adoração / Abraça-me / Abraça-me' by Morada is a heartfelt plea for a return to the core of worship, stripping away all superficial elements to focus solely on the divine connection with Jesus. The lyrics begin by acknowledging the moments when music fades and distractions disappear, leaving the worshiper to approach God with a sincere heart. This simplicity is emphasized as the singer longs to offer something of true value to bless God's heart, recognizing His immeasurable worth and expressing a deep sense of humility and devotion.

The chorus reinforces the idea that worship is more than just a song; it is about offering one's heart and soul to God. The singer admits past mistakes in making worship about something other than its true essence, which is Jesus. This confession and plea for forgiveness highlight a desire to realign with the true purpose of worship, which is to honor and connect with Jesus on a deeper level. The repetition of the phrase 'a essência és Tu' (the essence is You) serves as a powerful reminder of this central truth.

The latter part of the song shifts to a more intimate and personal plea for God's embrace, healing, anointing, and touch. The repeated requests for God to 'abraça-me' (embrace me) and 'cura-me' (heal me) reflect a deep yearning for His presence and transformative power. The imagery of being covered by God's mantle and reigning in His glory underscores the desire to be close to Him and find one's place by His side. The song concludes with a declaration of 'Aleluia,' signifying praise and reverence for God's presence and love.
