Intimidade

The song 'Intimidade' by Ministério Sarando a Terra Ferida is a heartfelt plea for a deeper, more personal relationship with God. The lyrics express a longing to move beyond mere knowledge of the divine to a profound, intimate connection. The opening lines, 'Permita-me entrar em tua presença / Estenda o teu cetro sobre mim,' evoke a sense of reverence and humility, as the speaker seeks permission to enter God's presence and be accepted by Him. This imagery of a scepter being extended is reminiscent of royal favor, suggesting that the speaker views this divine relationship as both a privilege and an honor.

The chorus, 'Quero ter intimidade / Quero ter intimidade, oh pai,' repeats the desire for intimacy, emphasizing that the speaker values God's presence over any material blessings. This sentiment is further reinforced with the lines, 'Ante as bênçãos / Que podes me dar / Eu escolho tua presença,' where the speaker explicitly states a preference for God's presence over His blessings. This choice highlights a deep spiritual maturity and a yearning for a relationship that transcends transactional faith.

The song also touches on themes of sacrifice and devotion. The lines, 'Largo tudo e todos / Pra te ouvir falar,' indicate a willingness to abandon everything else to hear God's voice. This level of commitment underscores the speaker's intense desire for a personal connection with the divine, one that goes beyond superficial acquaintance to true intimacy. The repeated plea to be more than just a friend and to hear God's voice calling them 'filho' (child) adds a layer of familial closeness, suggesting that the ultimate goal is a relationship characterized by love, trust, and deep personal connection.
