As Marcas Que Eu Não Via

In Alessandra Samadello's song "As Marcas Que Eu Não Via," the lyrics delve deeply into the themes of sacrifice, love, and redemption. The song opens with vivid imagery of physical marks—on the hands, feet, and forehead—symbolizing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. These marks are not just physical wounds but are imbued with profound spiritual significance, representing the ultimate sacrifice made for humanity's salvation. The repetition of the word 'marca' (mark) emphasizes the lasting impact of this sacrifice on the believer's life.

The lyrics transition into a personal reflection, where the singer grapples with understanding the depth of this divine love. The marks that bled and flowed like a river are described as nourishing the singer's weak heart with hope and peace. This metaphor of blood as a life-giving river underscores the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. The plea, "Meu Deus me explica esse amor" (My God, explain this love to me), is a recurring refrain that highlights the singer's awe and struggle to comprehend the magnitude of this selfless act.

As the song progresses, the singer begins to grasp the significance of Christ's suffering and its implications for their own life. The realization that through pain, they receive love, marks a turning point in their spiritual journey. The acknowledgment of being resurrected through Christ's blood and the honor of knowing Him brings a sense of profound gratitude and reverence. The song concludes with a heartfelt repetition of the plea for understanding, encapsulating the eternal quest to fathom the depths of divine love and sacrifice.
