Ser Mudado (feat. Alessandro Vilas Boas e André Aquino)
Som do Reino
A Deep Yearning for Divine Transformation
The song 'Ser Mudado' by Som do Reino, featuring Alessandro Vilas Boas and André Aquino, is a heartfelt plea for a deeper connection with Jesus. The lyrics express a profound longing for spiritual renewal and transformation. The singer acknowledges the blessings and works of God in their life but emphasizes an insatiable hunger and thirst for more of His presence. This yearning is not born out of ingratitude but from a desire to be continually touched and changed by God's glory and face.
The repetition of phrases like 'ser tocado por Tua glória' (to be touched by Your glory) and 'ser mudado por Tua face' (to be changed by Your face) highlights the intensity of the singer's desire. The song conveys a sense of humility, as the singer admits bringing nothing to the table except a deep hunger and thirst for God. This humility is further emphasized by the repeated acknowledgment of having nothing to offer but a longing for divine presence.
The song also touches on themes of intimacy and commitment, as seen in the lines 'Casa comigo, Jesus' (Marry me, Jesus) and references to the 'Filhas de Jerusalém' (Daughters of Jerusalem). These lines evoke a sense of spiritual marriage and a deep, personal relationship with Jesus. The imagery of winter passing suggests a new season of spiritual awakening and closeness with God. Overall, 'Ser Mudado' is a powerful expression of a believer's desire for continuous spiritual growth and a deeper, more intimate relationship with Jesus.
