Tua Vontade

In 'Tua Vontade,' Suely Façanha delves into the profound and often paradoxical nature of faith and divine will. The song opens with the lines 'Doce mistério, cruz e ressurreição, alegria sem fim,' which translate to 'Sweet mystery, cross and resurrection, endless joy.' This juxtaposition of suffering and joy encapsulates the Christian belief in the redemptive power of Christ's sacrifice. The 'cross' symbolizes the pain and trials one must endure, while 'resurrection' signifies the ultimate triumph and eternal happiness that follows. The phrase 'Tua vontade,' meaning 'Your will,' underscores the central theme of surrendering to God's plan, no matter how incomprehensible it may seem at times.

The lyrics continue to explore this theme by describing God's will as a 'jugo suave' (light yoke) and a 'chaga que cura' (wound that heals). These metaphors highlight the dual nature of divine will—it can be both a burden and a source of healing. The 'violência que me faz livre' (violence that makes me free) further emphasizes the transformative power of faith, suggesting that true freedom and happiness come from embracing God's will, even when it involves suffering. This idea is reinforced by the line 'é amor de Deus' (it is the love of God), which serves as a reminder that all these experiences are expressions of divine love.

The song also touches on the concept of paradise and spiritual renewal. 'Paraíso meu, lugar seguro onde vou descansar' translates to 'My paradise, a safe place where I will rest,' evoking a sense of ultimate peace and security found in God's presence. The plea to 'Purifica minha alma, e assim renova o meu amar' (Purify my soul, and thus renew my love) speaks to the transformative and purifying power of divine will. The final lines, 'Tua vontade em mim é como um tesouro em vaso de argila' (Your will in me is like a treasure in a clay jar), beautifully capture the fragility and preciousness of human life guided by divine will. This 'verdadeira paz' (true peace) is depicted as something that neither time nor suffering can take away, emphasizing the enduring and unshakeable nature of faith.
