Encontro
Thiago Brado
A Healing Encounter with the Divine
Thiago Brado's song "Encontro" is a heartfelt plea for divine intervention and healing. The lyrics express a deep yearning for the presence of the Lord, asking Him to come and touch the singer's life. The opening lines, "Vem, Senhor, passar / Quero te tocar," set the tone for a spiritual encounter where the singer seeks to feel the grace and love of God. This desire for divine connection is further emphasized by the line, "Tua graça, enfim / Abrirá em mim / Lugar pro Teu amor morar," which suggests that the singer believes that God's grace will create a space within them for His love to dwell.
The song also delves into themes of self-acceptance and healing. The lines, "Vem curar meu medo / De me olhar no espelho / Quero me amar, não me condenar," reveal a struggle with self-image and a desire for self-love. The singer asks for the courage to look at themselves in the mirror without fear and to love themselves without judgment. This is a powerful message about the importance of self-compassion and the healing that can come from seeing oneself through the eyes of divine love.
The chorus, "Vem, e toca / Com Tua glória / O meu coração ferido e machucado / Me consola com Tua vitória," speaks to the healing power of God's glory. The singer's heart is described as wounded and hurt, and they seek comfort and consolation through the victory of the cross. The final line, "Pois eu sei que a cruz vazia está / Por tanto me amar," underscores the belief in the redemptive power of Christ's sacrifice, which is seen as the ultimate expression of divine love. This song is a moving testament to the transformative power of faith and the healing that can come from a deep, personal encounter with the divine.
