Sempre

Ministério Zoe's song 'Sempre' is a profound exploration of the relentless and all-encompassing nature of divine love. The lyrics draw heavily on biblical imagery, particularly from the Song of Solomon, with phrases like 'Te pus como um selo sobre o meu coração' (I have set you as a seal upon my heart) and 'O amor é mais forte que a morte' (Love is stronger than death). These lines emphasize the eternal and unbreakable bond between the divine and the believer, suggesting that God's love is a permanent mark on the soul, unyielding even in the face of death.

The repetition of 'Deixa subirem as águas, O teu amor não se afoga' (Let the waters rise, Your love does not drown) serves as a powerful metaphor for the trials and tribulations of life. No matter how overwhelming the challenges, the divine love remains steadfast and unshaken. This imagery of rising waters can be seen as a representation of life's difficulties, yet the assurance is given that divine love will not be submerged or overcome by these adversities.

The song also delves into the omnipresence of God's love with lines like 'Eu vou subindo como as asas, com o vento, Desço ao abismo, faço a cama no inferno' (I rise like wings with the wind, I descend to the abyss, make my bed in hell). This suggests that no matter where one goes, even to the depths of despair, God's love is inescapable and ever-pursuing. The repeated invocation of Jesus' name and the depiction of angels around the throne proclaiming His holiness further underscore the sacred and awe-inspiring nature of this divine love. The song is a testament to the enduring and pervasive presence of God's love, a love that is both a refuge and a relentless pursuit.
