Sobrevivi

Shirley Carvalhaes' song 'Sobrevivi' is a powerful anthem of resilience and unwavering faith. The lyrics convey a message of overcoming life's adversities through steadfast belief in God's protection and care. The opening lines set the tone, describing how the singer has faced and survived various challenges, from fear to war, without losing her voice or her will to worship. This resilience is not just physical but deeply spiritual, rooted in the conviction that as long as she has breath, she will continue to praise God.

The song emphasizes the idea that falling in battle does not mean defeat. Instead, it is a temporary state, and the singer is confident that the storm will pass and miracles will come. This belief is reinforced by the acknowledgment that God knows her story and has seen her through many battles before. The repetition of the phrase 'Sobrevivi adorando, sobrevivi confiando' (I survived worshiping, I survived trusting) serves as a mantra, highlighting the dual pillars of worship and trust as the foundation of her survival.

Carvalhaes also extends this message of divine care to the listener, assuring them that God looks after every aspect of their lives, from family and work to health and ministry. The song encourages listeners to continue worshiping and exalting God, promising that He will provide strength, joy, and balance. The lyrics suggest that the trials one faces are not meant to destroy but to strengthen, and that God will provide in the desert. The song concludes with a triumphant declaration of survival through faith, reinforcing the idea that God's care is all-encompassing and ever-present.
