Quando o Dia Chegar

“Quando o Dia Chegar” by Som da Comunhão is a deeply spiritual and hopeful song that centers on the anticipation of Jesus Christ's return. The lyrics express a profound longing and unwavering faith in the promise of Christ's second coming. The repeated phrase “Quando o dia chegar” (When the day comes) sets a tone of eager expectation, highlighting the joy and relief that believers will feel when they finally see Jesus again. This sentiment is reinforced by the lines “Vou sorrir pra você” (I will smile at you), which convey a personal and intimate connection with the divine.

The song also emphasizes the enduring patience and burning desire in the hearts of the faithful as they await this momentous event. The lyrics “E não importa quanto tempo / Eu tenha que esperar” (And it doesn't matter how long / I have to wait) reflect a steadfast commitment to their faith, regardless of the time it takes. This patience is coupled with a vivid image of universal worship, as “todo o joelho / Se dobrará” (every knee will bow) before the “Leão da tribo de Judá” (Lion of the tribe of Judah), a powerful biblical metaphor for Jesus.

Furthermore, the song celebrates Jesus as the “Cordeiro de Deus” (Lamb of God) who conquered death and promises to return. The repeated affirmations of “Voltará” (He will return) serve as a mantra of hope and assurance. The imagery of the heavens opening and Jesus descending on the clouds evokes a sense of divine majesty and ultimate redemption. The final verses paint a picture of eternal joy and worship in the “linda cidade” (beautiful city), where believers will be united with Jesus and other faithful souls, praising God forever. This vision of heavenly glory and the promise of reunion with the Savior encapsulate the essence of Christian hope and the ultimate fulfillment of divine promises.
