Quão Alto

The song 'Quão Alto' by ONE - Ministry is a worship song that delves into the intimate relationship between the believer and God, using the metaphor of a romantic relationship to express the depth of connection and love. The lyrics begin by expressing affection in a way that is typically associated with human love, such as admiring someone's eyes and lips. This humanization of the divine relationship is a common technique in worship music, aiming to make the concept of God's love more relatable and tangible to the listener.

As the song progresses, it shifts to a more spiritual perspective, referring to God as the 'bread of life' and expressing the singer's delight in the Lord. This is a clear reference to Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as the bread of life in Christian theology, symbolizing sustenance and salvation. The repetition of the line 'Eu tenho prazer no meu Senhor' (I take pleasure in my Lord) emphasizes the joy and satisfaction found in the divine presence.

The latter part of the song addresses the omnipresence of God's love, suggesting that there is no place where one can escape from it. The imagery of flying like an eagle or being covered in darkness and still being found by God illustrates the idea that God's love is all-encompassing and inescapable. The final line, 'Profundo no coração do Pai' (Deep in the heart of the Father), encapsulates the song's message of being deeply rooted in the love and care of God, the Father.
