A Velha Promissória

In 'A Velha Promissória,' O Cantor do Nazareno delivers a heartfelt message about redemption, salvation, and the transformative power of faith. The song's lyrics speak to the profound impact that Jesus has had on the narrator's life, emphasizing themes of forgiveness, healing, and unconditional love. The phrase 'A velha promissória' (the old promissory note) serves as a powerful metaphor for the burdens and debts of the past, which have been erased through the sacrifice of Jesus.

The narrator recounts a journey from despair to joy, highlighting how Jesus provided solutions during times of trouble and offered salvation. This transformation is depicted vividly through lines like 'Quem era um fracassado hoje é vencedor' (Who was a failure is now a winner) and 'Hoje eu tenho alegria, Jesus na minha vida' (Today I have joy, Jesus in my life). These lyrics underscore the idea that faith in Jesus has not only changed the narrator's circumstances but also brought a profound sense of purpose and happiness.

The song also touches on themes of acceptance and unconditional love. Despite being despised by others, the narrator finds solace in Jesus, who 'não olhou pro meu passado e logo resolveu' (did not look at my past and quickly resolved it). This acceptance and the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, symbolized by 'sangue derramado na cruz' (blood shed on the cross), highlight the depth of divine love and forgiveness. 'A Velha Promissória' is a moving testament to the power of faith to transform lives, offering hope and renewal to those who believe.
