Até Te Contemplar
Quatro Por Um
Finding Strength and Refuge in Faith
The song 'Até Te Contemplar' by Quatro Por Um is a powerful declaration of faith and trust in God. The lyrics emphasize the Lord as a source of light, salvation, and protection, creating a sense of unwavering security. The repetition of the questions 'A quem temerei? De quem me recearei?' (Whom shall I fear? Of whom shall I be afraid?) underscores the singer's confidence in God's omnipotence and the futility of fear when one is under divine protection.
The song further explores the idea of God as a refuge and a strong tower, a place of safety and solace. The imagery of seeking God every day and not stopping until beholding Him ('Todo dia eu te busco, Eu não paro um segundo, Até te contemplar') conveys a relentless pursuit of divine presence and a deep, personal relationship with God. This pursuit is not just a daily routine but a continuous, heartfelt endeavor to connect with the divine.
In the face of adversity, such as being surrounded by an army or the outbreak of war, the lyrics express a steadfast trust in God. The lines 'Ainda que um exército me cercasse, Meu coração não temeria' (Even if an army besieges me, my heart will not fear) and 'Ainda que a guerra se levantasse, No Senhor confiaria' (Even if war breaks out, I will trust in the Lord) highlight the theme of unshakeable faith. This reflects a profound belief that no matter the circumstances, God's protection and guidance are ever-present and reliable.
