Mestre

Elaine Martins' song 'Mestre' is a heartfelt invitation to the divine to take residence in one's life. The lyrics express a deep sense of humility and reverence, as the singer acknowledges the greatness of the 'Mestre' or 'Master,' who is also referred to as the 'Rei dos reis' (King of Kings). The song begins with the singer offering their home to the Master, despite feeling unworthy due to their humble status. This act of opening one's home symbolizes a willingness to let the divine presence enter and transform their life.

The chorus emphasizes the sanctification that occurs when the divine takes residence. The repetition of the word 'santa' (holy) underscores the transformative power of the divine presence. The singer expresses a desire to be made holy, reflecting a deep yearning for spiritual purification and elevation. The divine is described as 'Grandioso e Santo' (Great and Holy), highlighting the awe and reverence the singer feels towards the divine presence.

In the latter part of the song, the singer reflects on their past, describing their heartache and the many things that have entered their life. However, the turning point comes when they allow the divine to enter their life, leading to profound and unimaginable changes. The song concludes with a complete surrender to the divine will, asking the Lord to transform their home and life as He wishes. This act of surrender and transformation is a powerful testament to the singer's faith and trust in the divine.
