Me Dá o Poder de Filho

Padre Alessandro Campos' song 'Me Dá o Poder de Filho' is a heartfelt plea for divine intervention and spiritual empowerment. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of surrender and devotion, as the singer expresses a willingness to give up everything in order to grow closer to God. The opening lines, 'Hoje eu vou, fechar os meus olhos / E entregar, minha vida no teu altar,' set the tone for a journey of faith, where the individual is ready to offer their life to the divine altar, symbolizing a complete surrender to God's will.

The song continues with a powerful declaration of rebirth and resurrection, 'Vou renascer pra sempre / Vou ressuscitar pro meu senhor.' This metaphorical language suggests a transformation and renewal of the spirit, akin to the Christian belief in being born again. The singer acknowledges the trials and tribulations they must endure, 'Se esse é o preço que eu tenho que pagar / Pode me provar pra eu ser aprovado,' indicating a readiness to face challenges as a test of faith and devotion.

A recurring theme in the song is the desire for the 'poder de filho,' or the power of a child of God. This phrase encapsulates the longing for divine abilities and blessings, such as walking on water, experiencing miracles, and receiving healing. The lyrics, 'Me dá o poder de filho / Porque está na hora de eu andar sobre as águas,' evoke biblical stories of Jesus and his disciples, emphasizing the singer's aspiration to embody such faith and power. The song concludes with a plea for the 'virtude do altíssimo,' or the virtue of the Most High, to descend upon the singer, signifying a deep yearning for spiritual elevation and divine grace.
