Cruz (feat. Casa Worship)

The song 'Cruz' by Ministério Reino, featuring Casa Worship, is a poignant portrayal of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, a central event in Christian theology. The lyrics describe the physical and emotional suffering that Jesus endured, as well as the spiritual significance of his sacrifice. The song begins by painting a vivid picture of the crucifixion, emphasizing Jesus' choice not to reject his fate, despite the immense pain and humiliation he faced. The graphic details of his hands being nailed and his blood spilling on the ground serve to remind listeners of the physical reality of his suffering.

The chorus of the song quotes Jesus' words from the cross, 'Eli, Eli, Lamá Sabactani,' which translates to 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' This moment of Jesus feeling abandoned by God is a powerful expression of his humanity and the depth of his sacrifice. The song then describes the miraculous events that followed Jesus' death, such as the tearing of the temple veil and the earthquake, which are interpreted as signs of his divine nature and the significance of his death.

The latter part of the song shifts to a declaration of Jesus' identity as the Son of God and emphasizes his role as the savior. It speaks to the belief that Jesus' death was a substitutionary atonement for humanity's sins, and it invites listeners to acknowledge this sacrifice by raising their hands and singing in worship. The repetition of the phrase 'Verdadeiramente este era o filho de Deus' ('Truly this was the Son of God') serves as an affirmation of faith and a call to recognize the profound impact of Jesus' life and death.
