Restaura-me
Os Levitas
A Cry for Restoration and Divine Mercy
The song 'Restaura-me' by Os Levitas is a heartfelt plea for divine restoration and mercy. The lyrics express a deep sense of personal inadequacy and a yearning for spiritual renewal. The singer acknowledges their efforts to be a faithful servant and imitator of God, yet they are acutely aware of their own transgressions and sins. This recognition of personal failure is a central theme, as the singer admits to having sinned and done what is wrong, but expresses a strong desire to change and not remain in that state.
The chorus of the song is a poignant cry for cleansing and restoration. The singer asks God to wash away their iniquities and to hear their plea for help. There is a profound sense of humility as the singer admits they do not deserve to be in God's house or even to pronounce His holy name. Despite this, they implore God to listen to their song and come to restore them. This reflects a deep longing for divine intervention and a belief in God's power to renew and purify.
The final verses of the song emphasize the desire for a pure and sincere heart, and a steadfast spirit. The singer asks God to hide His face from their sins and to erase their iniquities. They plead for God to create in them a pure heart and to renew a right spirit within them. The ultimate request is for God's presence to remain in their life, as this is what they desire most. This song is a powerful expression of repentance, humility, and a deep yearning for spiritual renewal and closeness to God.
