Quero Conhecer Jesus / Lindo És

Wanessa Tesch's song "Quero Conhecer Jesus / Lindo És" is a heartfelt expression of spiritual longing and devotion. The lyrics delve into themes of humility, love, and the desire for a deeper connection with Jesus. The opening lines, "Meu orgulho me tirou do jardim / Tua humildade colocou jardim em mim," suggest a personal transformation where pride has distanced the speaker from a state of grace, but humility has restored it within them. This metaphor of the garden symbolizes a place of purity and divine presence, emphasizing the transformative power of humility.

The song also touches on the nature of love, particularly divine love, which is described as something that cannot be bought or earned but is freely given. This is encapsulated in the lines, "Pois, o amor não se compra e nem se merece / O Amor se ganha, de graça o recebe." This perspective aligns with Christian teachings about grace and the unconditional love of God, reinforcing the idea that true love is a gift rather than a transaction.

The repeated invocation of "Yeshua," the Hebrew name for Jesus, and the adoration expressed in phrases like "Meu amado é, o mais belo entre milhares e milhares" and "Lindo, lindo, lindo és. Glória, glória eu te dou Jesus," highlight the deep reverence and admiration the speaker feels for Jesus. The song culminates in a plea to be brought into the "sala do trono" or throne room, a metaphor for entering into the divine presence and witnessing the beauty of Jesus. This imagery evokes a sense of awe and the ultimate desire to be close to the divine, reflecting a profound spiritual yearning.
