Estar Contigo

Walmir Alencar's song 'Estar Contigo' delves into the profound and sacred connection between the believer and Jesus Christ. The lyrics open with a reflection on the 'Grande mistério de amor' (Great mystery of love), highlighting the divine love that is both true and humble. This love is symbolized through the 'simples pão' (simple bread), representing the Eucharist, a central element in Christian worship that signifies Jesus' presence and sacrifice. The bread, as 'todo alimento de minh'alma' (the complete nourishment of my soul), underscores the spiritual sustenance that faith provides to the believer.

The song continues to describe the joy and transformation that comes from encountering Jesus in this holy moment. The lines 'Neste momento santo, que alegria é te encontrar / E te sentir tocando em mim, me transformando' (In this holy moment, what joy it is to find you / And feel you touching me, transforming me) convey a deep sense of personal and spiritual renewal. This transformation is not just a fleeting feeling but a profound change that impacts the believer's entire being. The act of saying 'te amo, meu Jesus' (I love you, my Jesus) is a declaration of devotion and gratitude for this divine interaction.

Furthermore, the song emphasizes the humility of Jesus through the 'gesto humilde' (humble gesture) that serves as a lesson for the believer. This humility is a guiding principle, 'me revelando como devo andar' (revealing to me how I should walk), suggesting that the path of faith is one of humility and love. The repeated phrase 'Estar contigo' (To be with you) encapsulates the essence of the song, expressing the desire for a continuous, intimate relationship with Jesus. This connection is portrayed as the ultimate goal and source of true joy and transformation in the believer's life.
