Um Só
Nívea Soares
Unity in Faith and Spirit
In 'Um Só', Nívea Soares leads us into worship that celebrates unity in Christ and the strength that comes from this communion with the Father. Right at the beginning, the verses 'One God, one love, one faith in one Lord' remind us that, although we are many, we are called to live with a single purpose, guided by faith in a God who is the center of everything. There is a single hope that moves us, a covenant that unites us, as if our lives were intertwined by the same divine purpose.
When the song declares, 'In the midst of Your glory, we are one with You,' we are invited to see ourselves as part of a body, with Jesus at the center. His glory envelops and transforms us, making our hearts beat in sync with His. This image is powerful, as it suggests that in God's presence, our desires and longings align with the heart of Jesus, becoming an extension of His love and will.
The song also brings a promise of victory: 'The gates of hell will not prevail, nor weapon forged will prosper against the church.' There is an unshakable confidence that, united in Christ, we are protected and sustained. Through the blood of Jesus, we receive victory, and His resurrection guarantees us new life. The promise that 'soon the God of peace will crush Satan under our feet' fills us with hope, reminding us that the battle has already been won and that we live under the authority of Christ.
'Um Só' is a hymn of unity, strength, and victory in Christ, where every word echoes the certainty that, in the midst of God's glory, we are called to be one body, one church, guided by the same love and the same faith.
