Aline Barros - A Oferta Da Viuvinha Lyrics
Lyrics
Eita ofertinha abençoada
A viuvinha pôs na caixinha
Sua moedinha, o seu melhor
E quem oferta com alegria
Junta o tesouro muito maior
Jesus se agrada, Jesus se agrada
Da ofertinha da criançada
Das moedinhas fazendo assim
Tirilim tim tim, tirilim tim tim
Tirilim tim tim, tirilim tim tim
A oferta vai caindo dentro da caixinha
Tirilim tim tim, tirilim tim tim
Eu quero um coração igual ao da viuvinha
Tirilim tim tim, tirilim tim tim
A oferta vai caindo dentro da caixinha
Tirilim tim tim, tirilim tim tim
Eu quero um coração igual ao da viuvinha
Vamos ofertar o Senhor com alegria
A viuvinha pôs na caixinha
Sua moedinha, o seu melhor
E quem oferta com alegria
Junta um tesouro muito maior
Jesus se agrada, Jesus se agrada
Da ofertinha da criançada
Das moedinhas fazendo assim
Tirilim tim tim, tirilim tim tim
Tirilim tim tim, tirilim tim tim
A oferta vai caindo dentro da caixinha
Tirilim tim tim, tirilim tim tim (Pim pom)
Eu quero um coração igual ao da viuvinha
Tirilim tim tim, tirilim tim tim (Pim pom plum)
A oferta vai caindo dentro da caixinha
Tirilim tim tim, tirilim tim tim
Eu quero um coração igual ao da viuvinha
Tirilim tim tim, tirilim tim tim
A oferta vai caindo dentro da caixinha
Tirilim tim tim, tirilim tim tim
Eu quero um coração igual ao da viuvinha
Tirilim tim tim, tirilim tim tim
A oferta vai caindo dentro da caixinha
Tirilim tim tim, tirilim tim tim
Eu quero um coração igual ao da viuvinha
Eita que essa viuvinha não é mole não
Coraçãozinho abençoado ela tem

Meaning & Inspiration
Aline Barros's "A Oferta Da Viuvinha," released in 2007 as part of the *Aline Barros e Cia (Playback)* album, offers a profound devotional lesson wrapped in simple, resonant language. The song draws its core inspiration from the biblical account of the poor widow's mite, famously recounted in Mark 12:41-44, Luke 21:1-4, and similar passages. In these narratives, Jesus observes people giving offerings to the temple treasury, and he highlights a humble widow who, despite her extreme poverty, casts in her two very small copper coins, her last possessions. Jesus then explains to his disciples that she gave more than all the others because she gave out of her want, her entire livelihood, while others gave from their abundance. This story is the heartbeat of Barros's composition, illustrating the principle that the value of a gift is not in its size but in the devotion and sacrifice of the giver. The song’s repeated "Tirilim tim tim" captures the gentle, perhaps even tinny, sound of coins dropping into a collection box, a sonic reminder of the small, yet significant, act of giving.
The central message of "A Oferta Da Viuvinha" is a powerful exhortation to a joyful and sacrificial giving, mirroring the widow’s selfless spirit. The lyrics directly contrast the widow's single coin with the immense treasure that accumulates when people give with gladness, emphasizing that God delights in such offerings. This aligns with principles found throughout Scripture, such as 2 Corinthians 9:7, which states, "Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." The song’s particular focus on "the children's offering" and the desire for "a heart like the widow's" invites listeners, especially younger ones, to embrace the practice of giving from a pure and willing heart, regardless of the material value. It suggests that even the smallest contributions, when given with genuine love and devotion, are seen and valued by God, accumulating a far greater spiritual treasure. This perspective is echoed in Proverbs 3:9-10, which encourages honoring the Lord with one's possessions and with the firstfruits of all one’s produce, implying that giving is an act of worship and faithfulness. The repeated yearning to possess a heart like the widow's signifies a deep spiritual aspiration to emulate her selfless commitment and her unwavering trust in God's provision, even in the face of personal hardship. This is a testament to the transformative power of generosity rooted in faith.
