Santo, Santo, Santo É o Senhor

Mr. Gomes' song 'Santo, Santo, Santo É o Senhor' is a powerful hymn of worship and adoration, deeply rooted in Christian liturgical traditions. The repetitive and reverent lyrics, 'Santo, santo, santo é o senhor, Deus do universo,' translate to 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, God of the universe,' echoing the sanctity and omnipotence of God. This phrase is a direct reference to the Trisagion, a hymn of praise in Christian liturgy, emphasizing the holiness of God and His dominion over the universe.

The song continues with 'O céu e a terra proclamam a vossa glória,' meaning 'Heaven and earth proclaim your glory.' This line reflects the biblical imagery found in Isaiah 6:3 and Revelation 4:8, where celestial beings and all of creation acknowledge and celebrate the glory of God. The use of 'Hosana nas alturas,' or 'Hosanna in the highest,' is a cry of praise and adoration, often associated with the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, as described in the Gospels. It signifies a plea for salvation and a recognition of divine intervention.

'Bendito é aquele que vem, em nome do senhor,' translating to 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord,' further reinforces the messianic expectation and the acknowledgment of Jesus as the savior. This phrase is also a part of the liturgical tradition, often recited during the Eucharist. Mr. Gomes' rendition of these timeless phrases creates a profound atmosphere of worship, inviting listeners to join in the universal chorus of praise and reverence for the divine. The song's simplicity and repetition make it accessible, allowing for a deep, meditative experience of worship.
