De Onde Vem Meu Socorro (part. Paul Willber)

The song 'De Onde Vem Meu Socorro' by Diante do Trono, featuring Paul Wilber, is a powerful expression of faith and reliance on divine protection. The lyrics are deeply rooted in the Christian tradition, echoing the sentiments of Psalm 121 from the Bible. The opening lines, 'Elevo os olhos aos montes / De onde vem meu socorro?' (I lift my eyes to the mountains / Where does my help come from?), set the tone for a spiritual quest for support and guidance. The answer is immediate and reassuring: 'Meu socorro vem de Deus / Que os céus e a terra criou' (My help comes from God / Who created the heavens and the earth). This declaration emphasizes the omnipotence and omnipresence of God, who is the ultimate source of help and strength.

The song continues to provide comfort by assuring the listener that their feet will not stumble, and they will not fall because 'o guarda de Israel / Nunca dormitará' (the guardian of Israel / Never slumbers). This imagery of a vigilant protector who never rests reinforces the idea of an ever-watchful and caring deity. The repetition of 'não, nunca' (no, never) serves to emphasize the unwavering nature of this divine protection.

In the final verses, the song promises that 'O Senhor te guardará de todo mal / Te guarda, guarda o teu entrar e sair / Hoje e pra sempre' (The Lord will protect you from all evil / He guards your coming and going / Today and forever). This assurance of perpetual protection and care is a source of immense comfort and hope for believers. The repetition of the phrase 'Que os céus e a terra criou' (Who created the heavens and the earth) throughout the song serves as a constant reminder of God's power and the foundation of the believer's faith. The song, with its soothing melody and heartfelt lyrics, serves as a spiritual anchor, reminding listeners of the unwavering support and protection they have in their faith.
