Não a Nós

The song 'Não a Nós' by Purples is a heartfelt expression of humility and reverence towards a higher power, specifically addressing the Christian God. The lyrics emphasize the insignificance of human achievements and the importance of attributing all glory and praise to God. The repeated phrase 'Não a nós' (Not to us) serves as a reminder that human beings should not seek glory for themselves but should instead honor God's name for His mercy and grace.

The song also touches on themes of forgiveness, hope, and salvation. The lines 'Resta a nós o corar de vergonha / E alegria do perdão' (It remains for us to blush with shame / And the joy of forgiveness) highlight the duality of human experience—acknowledging one's sins and shortcomings while also celebrating the forgiveness and redemption offered by God. This duality is a common theme in Christian worship music, aiming to inspire both humility and gratitude among believers.

Furthermore, the song calls for obedience and steadfastness in faith. The lyrics 'Resta a nós a Ti prostrados adorar / Resta a nós em Ti permanecer / Até Cristo voltar' (It remains for us to worship You prostrate / It remains for us to remain in You / Until Christ returns) encourage listeners to maintain their devotion and faithfulness until the return of Christ. This message is particularly resonant in Christian communities, where the anticipation of Christ's return is a central tenet of faith. The song concludes with a reaffirmation that all praise and glory should be directed to God, encapsulating the essence of worship and devotion.
