Lava Senhor

“Lava Senhor” by Pr. Fernando Rodrigues is a heartfelt prayer set to music, capturing the essence of a soul seeking divine cleansing and renewal. The song opens with a moment of prayer, emphasizing the sincerity and truthfulness of the worshipper's quest for God's presence. The lyrics convey a deep sense of repentance and a longing for forgiveness, as the singer feels their tears rolling down their face, symbolizing the emotional weight of their plea.

The chorus, with its repetitive invocation to “Lava, Senhor” (Wash, Lord), underscores the desire for spiritual purification. The singer asks for their soul to be washed, their heart to be cleansed, and their being to be filled with God's presence. This imagery of washing and filling suggests a complete transformation, where the old self is cleansed away, and a new, sanctified self emerges, ready to live a life illuminated by divine light.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics shift to a tone of gratitude and commitment. The singer acknowledges the salvation they have received and expresses a firm resolve not to return to a life of illusion and spiritual lostness. The light that now guides them is identified as Jesus, symbolizing the ultimate source of truth and salvation. The song concludes with a vision of eternal worship, where the singer looks forward to being in God's glory, reinforcing the theme of a journey from repentance to redemption and eternal communion with the divine.
