Eu Vim Para Que Todos Tenham Vida
CNBB
A Hymn of Compassion and Solidarity
The song 'Eu Vim Para Que Todos Tenham Vida', by CNBB, is a hymn of Christian inspiration that reflects the central message of the Gospel, emphasizing Jesus Christ’s promise to bring abundant life to all humanity. The lyrics serve as an invitation to rebuild personal life in communion with God and others, highlighting Christ’s presence in suffering and solidarity with our brothers and sisters.
The song uses language that directly references biblical passages, such as Jesus’ declaration in John 10:10, where He says that He came so that we may have life and have it abundantly. The repetition of the chorus 'Eu vim para que todos tenham vida / Que todos tenham vida plenamente' ('I came that all may have life / That all may have life abundantly') reinforces the idea of an offer of salvation and fulfillment that transcends earthly struggles. The song also addresses the importance of Christian social action, encouraging listeners to be agents of healing, protection, and salvation in the lives of others, especially the most vulnerable.
This hymn is a call to shared responsibility in building a more just and fraternal world, where God's presence is recognized through acts of service to others. Through its lyrics, the song promotes values of faith, hope, and charity—fundamental elements of Christian doctrine and essential for living out spirituality in daily life.
