Diante do Altar

“Diante do Altar” by Wládia Leyliane is a deeply spiritual song that expresses a profound dependence on divine guidance and strength. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and the recognition that without a higher power, the singer feels incapable of achieving her goals or finding peace. The repeated phrase “Não dá para ficar longe de você” (I can't stay away from you) underscores the essential nature of this divine connection in her life. This sentiment is further emphasized by the acknowledgment that without this connection, she cannot live, reach her goals, or conquer her challenges.

The song also highlights the omnipotence of the divine, with lines like “Quem pode interferir nos planos do Senhor?” (Who can interfere with the Lord's plans?) and “Se quiseres podes fazer o inferno explodir com as tuas mãos” (If you want, you can make hell explode with your hands). These lines reflect a belief in the absolute power and authority of the divine, suggesting that nothing is impossible when one is aligned with this higher power. The imagery of calming the sea and making hell explode serves as powerful metaphors for overcoming life's tumultuous challenges and adversities through faith.

The chorus, with its plea to be “diante do altar” (before the altar), symbolizes a desire for closeness and communion with the divine. It is a place of surrender, faith, and receiving divine blessings. The repetition of “Deus estou aqui” (God, I am here) signifies a readiness and openness to receive what the divine has in store. This song is a testament to the power of faith and the belief that with divine support, one can overcome any obstacle and find peace and strength.
