Não Desanimamos (feat. Discípulos)

The song 'Não Desanimamos' by Novo Tempo is a powerful anthem of unwavering faith and resilience in the face of adversity. The lyrics convey a deep sense of commitment to following the Lord's commands, regardless of the challenges that may arise. The opening lines, 'Se o Senhor mandar seguir / Seja feito até o fim,' set the tone for a journey of faith that is steadfast and resolute. The imagery of casting nets and preaching on solid ground or the high seas symbolizes the diverse and unpredictable nature of this spiritual journey.

A central theme in the song is the incomparable and boundless nature of God's word and grace. The lyrics, 'Não cabe em mim em dois ou três mundos / Infinito e singular,' highlight the idea that God's word transcends all earthly limitations and cannot be confined. This is further emphasized by the declaration that Christ's grace is greater than any personal struggle or suffering, offering a 'vida desmedida e ilimitada' (immeasurable and unlimited life). The repetition of 'Cristo, não consigo ver mais além que isso' underscores the singer's complete reliance on Christ's grace and the transformative power it holds.

The song also addresses the trials and tribulations faced by believers, acknowledging that while they may be 'abatidos, mas não destruídos' (struck down, but not destroyed), they are never abandoned. The lyrics reflect a profound trust in God's plan and a belief that every hardship serves to glorify the Lord. The line 'mais vale Tua vida em mim do que a minha dor' encapsulates the idea that Christ's presence and sacrifice are far more valuable than any personal suffering. The song concludes with a powerful affirmation of hope and redemption through Jesus' sacrifice, celebrating the 'vida verdadeira, infinito amor' (true life, infinite love) that believers receive through Him.
