Até Que o Senhor Venha / Labareda / Vem Me Buscar (medley)
Sarah Oliveira
A Cry for Revival and Divine Presence
Sarah Oliveira's medley, 'Até Que o Senhor Venha / Labareda / Vem Me Buscar,' is a heartfelt plea for divine intervention and revival. The lyrics express a deep yearning for God to reveal His power and presence once more, reminiscent of the miracles and wonders of the past. The song opens with a call for God to 'rasgar o céu' (tear the sky) and descend, showcasing His mighty deeds to the current generation. This imagery evokes a sense of urgency and desperation for a tangible manifestation of the divine in the natural world.
The recurring theme of revival is evident as the singer asks God to 'aviva-nos' (revive us) and align eternity with the natural realm. This plea is not just for personal renewal but for a collective awakening that stirs the entire being. The lyrics also reflect a deep spiritual hunger and thirst, with the singer asking God to wound their heart with a longing for Him. This metaphor of a wound signifies a profound and insatiable desire for a closer relationship with the divine, driving the singer to continually cry out and seek God's presence until He comes.
The medley also touches on eschatological themes, anticipating the return of Jesus and the rapture of the church. The imagery of Jesus appearing in the sky and every knee bowing and tongue confessing His lordship underscores the ultimate hope and expectation of believers. The song's climax, with the repeated invocation for God to come as a 'labareda de fogo' (flame of fire), emphasizes the transformative and purifying power of the Holy Spirit. This medley is a powerful expression of faith, longing, and anticipation for divine intervention and the fulfillment of God's promises.
