Único Deus (part. Vitória Souza e Fernanda Souza)

Unwavering Faith in the Face of Adversity
The song 'Único Deus' is a powerful declaration of faith and spiritual resilience.
Its lyrics address the struggle against forces of evil that attempt to hinder the worship of God, but reaffirm that oppression has no power to silence believers' faith. The reference to Pharaoh, who will not make the believer bow, alludes to the biblical story of Moses and the liberation of the Israelites from Egypt, symbolizing spiritual freedom and steadfast faith, as recounted in Exodus 14:13-14.
The song also highlights divine protection, stating that even when persecuted, believers will not be harmed. This confidence is based on knowing the God they serve, echoing 2 Timothy 1:12, where Paul expresses his certainty in the One he has believed in. The lyrics emphasize that no weapon formed against the faithful will prosper, a promise found in Isaiah 54:17, which assures God's protection in the face of adversity.
Another central theme of the song is the decision to serve and worship God as a family, as declared in Joshua 24:15: 'As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.' This choice is presented as a promise for the family, encouraging unity in faith and collective worship of the only God. The song reinforces the idea that faith is not solely individual, but a commitment shared by the family and community.
Finally, the lyrics reference the pillars of cloud and fire that guided and protected the Israelites during the exodus, as described in Exodus 13:21-22. These images symbolize God's constant presence and protection over His people, assuring that He watches over those who serve Him. The song concludes with a call to worship and celebrate God's faithfulness, inviting everyone to acknowledge and praise the only God.
