Louvai

Padre Cleidimar Moreira's song 'Louvai' is a vibrant and uplifting call to worship and celebrate the Lord. The lyrics are a heartfelt invitation to all people, regardless of race or nation, to praise God. The repetition of the word 'Louvai' (which means 'praise' in Portuguese) emphasizes the importance of worship and the joy that comes from it. The song encourages believers to sing a new song to the Lord, celebrating His holy name and the victories He has achieved for humanity.

The song's universal appeal is evident in its call for all peoples, races, and nations to join in the praise. This inclusivity reflects the Christian belief in the universality of God's love and salvation. The lyrics speak of 'brados de alegria e vitória' (shouts of joy and victory), highlighting the triumphant nature of God's deeds and the joy that comes from recognizing His power and grace. The song serves as a reminder of the communal aspect of worship, where people come together to celebrate their faith and the goodness of God.

'Louvai' also touches on the theme of salvation, acknowledging that God has given humanity salvation and has conquered sin on their behalf. The line 'Pois deu-nos a salvação' (for He gave us salvation) underscores the gratitude and reverence that believers feel towards God for His redemptive work. The song concludes with a declaration of eternal glory to God, 'A Ele a glória, por todo sempre amém' (to Him be the glory, forever and ever, amen), encapsulating the eternal nature of God's greatness and the perpetual praise He deserves.
