The chorus of the song is a heartfelt expression of gratitude for the tremendous grace and unfailing love of Jesus. It highlights the sacrificial act of Jesus taking the place of humanity, bearing the cross, and ultimately giving His life to set people free. This act of ultimate love and sacrifice is the cornerstone of the Christian faith, and the song captures the profound sense of liberation and gratitude that believers feel.

The repeated declaration of Jesus as the "Cordeiro de Deus" (Lamb of God) and the victorious King who conquered death further cements His worthiness of worship and adoration. The song concludes with a powerful affirmation of Jesus' dignity and victory, leaving listeners with a sense of awe and reverence for the King of Glory.
