Se Eu Não Te Ouvir

In 'Se Eu Não Te Ouvir,' Sarah Farias takes us on a profound journey of recognizing our absolute dependence on God's voice. The song opens by acknowledging the power and majesty of His voice: 'Your voice, Lord, shakes the desert.' This speaks to the transformative power that echoes throughout creation, much like the moment when God spoke the universe into existence. There is no place His voice cannot reach, no situation where it cannot bring light and direction. When our souls are troubled, restless like 'the troubled waters,' it is the voice of God that has the power to bring peace and stillness.

The lyrics remind us that God's voice is essential for our spiritual survival. 'If I don’t hear You, I die' expresses with intensity the reality that without God's guidance and care, we are lost. His voice is not merely a guide in moments of doubt but our refuge in every situation. It is 'deliverance in the midst of torment,' demonstrating that even when everything around us seems to fall apart, it is God's word that holds us together, that rescues us.

The need to silence all other voices that compete for our attention is made clear. The line 'I need to silence all voices, except Yours' reflects the inner battle we face to discern the truth amidst the world's chaos. God's voice, with its clarity and authority, dispels confusion and leads us in the right direction. When we listen to His voice, we find life, prosperity, and safety.

Finally, the plea 'Speak, God, touch me with the coals from the altar' reflects a burning desire to be purified and transformed by His presence. Like Isaiah, who was touched by the coals from the altar, we are invited to fully surrender to God's will, responding with joy to His call. The voice that created everything at the beginning continues to be our safety until the end.
