Hino 590 da Harpa Cristã - Contentamento

The song 'Hino 590 da Harpa Cristã - Contentamento' by Pastor Alex do Cavaco is a heartfelt expression of unwavering faith and contentment found in Jesus Christ. The lyrics convey a deep sense of joy and peace that transcends worldly pleasures and material possessions. The repeated affirmation 'Tenho Jesus!' (I have Jesus!) underscores the central theme of the song: the sufficiency of Christ in the believer's life.

In the first verse, the singer declares their contentment and joy in having Jesus, contrasting it with the fleeting happiness that the world offers. The phrase 'Gozo que o mundo traz, bem cedo se desfaz' (The joy that the world brings, soon fades away) highlights the temporary nature of worldly pleasures, while 'Tenho perfeita paz, paz em Jesus' (I have perfect peace, peace in Jesus) emphasizes the enduring peace found in a relationship with Christ.

The second verse addresses the potential hardships of life, such as aging and poverty, but reassures that Jesus will always provide and support. The lines 'Tudo me suprirá, sempre me valerá' (He will always supply me, He will always be worth it) and 'Nada me faltará, tendo Jesus' (I will lack nothing, having Jesus) reflect a profound trust in God's provision and care, regardless of life's circumstances.

The final verse looks forward to the end times, expressing confidence in Jesus' eternal presence. The lyrics 'Vai tudo aqui findar, menos Jesus!' (Everything here will end, except Jesus!) and 'Certo Ele irá dizer: Sou teu Jesus!' (Surely He will say: I am your Jesus!) convey a hopeful anticipation of Christ's return and the ultimate fulfillment of the believer's faith. This eschatological perspective reinforces the song's message of finding true contentment and security in Jesus alone.
