Eis-me Aqui
Valesca Mayssa
A Heartfelt Surrender to Divine Calling
Valesca Mayssa's song "Eis-me Aqui" is a profound expression of devotion and surrender to a higher calling. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a God surrounded by glory, worshipped tirelessly by seraphim who sing praises of 'Holy, Holy.' This celestial imagery sets the stage for the singer's introspective journey, where she grapples with her own imperfections and unworthiness in the face of such divine grandeur. The repeated question, 'What did such a great God see in me?' underscores a sense of humility and awe.
The song's chorus is a plea for purification and transformation, symbolized by the 'coals from the altar.' This metaphor draws from the biblical story of Isaiah, who was cleansed by a burning coal touched to his lips, signifying purification and readiness for God's mission. Valesca Mayssa echoes this sentiment, asking to be touched and purified so she can serve exclusively for God's glory. This act of surrender is further emphasized by the repeated declaration, 'Here I am, I am available,' showcasing a readiness to be used by God for His purposes.
The lyrics also highlight a sense of divine calling and anointment. The singer acknowledges the anointing she has received to be used for God's glory, reinforcing her commitment to serve. The song culminates in a powerful affirmation of identity as part of a 'chosen generation, royal priesthood, exclusive people of God, holy nation.' This declaration not only reinforces the singer's dedication but also serves as a call to others to recognize their divine purpose and respond with the same fervor and commitment. The recurring theme of 'only for Your glory' encapsulates the essence of the song, making it a moving anthem of faith and devotion.
