Aline Barros - Casinha De Jesus Lyrics
Lyrics
Meu coração é uma casinha
Que precisa de atenção
Ela precisa estar limpinha
Com a água da salvação
Meu coração é uma casinha
E o telhado é a mão de Deus
Ela precisa ter a luz
Pra afastar a escuridão
Está firme sobre a rocha que é Jesus
Janela, janelinha, porta e campainha (dim-dom, dim-dom)
Eu sou uma casinha e Jesus mora em mim
Piso, telhado, paredes no quadrado (dim-dom, dim-dom)
Eu sou uma casinha e Jesus mora em mim
Meu coração é uma casinha
E o telhado é a mão de Deus
Ela precisa ter a luz
Pra afastar a escuridão
Está firme sobre a rocha que é Jesus
Janela, janelinha, porta e campainha
Eu sou uma casinha e Jesus mora em mim (dim-dom, dim-dom)
Piso, telhado, paredes no quadrado
Eu sou uma casinha e Jesus mora em mim (dim-dom, dim-dom)
Tem alguém morando aí nessa casa?
É Jesus quem mora em mim
Janela, janelinha, porta e campainha (dim-dom, dim-dom)
Eu sou uma casinha e Jesus mora em mim (dim-dom, dim-dom)
Piso, telhado, paredes no quadrado (dim-dom, dim-dom)
Eu sou uma casinha e Jesus... (dim-dom)
Janela, janelinha, porta e campainha
Eu sou uma casinha e Jesus mora em mim
Piso, telhado, paredes no quadrado
Eu sou uma casinha e Jesus mora em mim

Casinha de Jesus - Aline Barros (Coreografia)
Meaning & Inspiration
"Casinha de Jesus," released on November 25, 2014, as part of Aline Barros e Cia's album "Tim-Tim por Tim-Tim," is a gentle yet profound exploration of the indwelling of Christ within the believer's heart. The song metaphorically portrays the human heart as a small house, a "casinha," that requires diligent care and spiritual upkeep. This "house" needs to be kept clean, not by human effort alone, but with the purifying "água da salvação" – the water of salvation, a clear allusion to the cleansing power of Christ's sacrifice as described in scripture, such as in Titus 3:5: "he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit." The song emphasizes that this divine dwelling needs to be illuminated by the "luz" (light) to ward off darkness, echoing Jesus' own declaration in John 8:12: "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." Furthermore, the foundation of this spiritual house is firm, built "sobre a rocha que é Jesus" (on the rock that is Jesus), directly referencing Jesus' parable in Matthew 7:24-27, where building one's life upon His teachings ensures stability against life's storms.
The chorus beautifully elaborates on the components of this divine habitation, personifying the believer as the "casinha" in which Jesus "mora em mim" (lives in me). The "janela, janelinha, porta e campainha" (window, little window, door, and doorbell) represent the various ways we interact with and allow Christ access to our lives, and how He signals His presence. The "dim-dom, dim-dom" sound effect of the doorbell reinforces the idea of Christ's gentle, persistent knocking, as promised in Revelation 3:20: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me." The "piso, telhado, paredes no quadrado" (floor, roof, walls in the square) encompass the entirety of the self, suggesting that every aspect of our being is meant to be a dwelling place for the divine. The central question posed, "Tem alguém morando aí nessa casa?" (Is someone living in that house?), is answered with joyful affirmation: "É Jesus quem mora em mim" (It is Jesus who lives in me). This is the core message of the song – the transformative truth of God's presence dwelling within those who believe, a concept powerfully articulated by the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 6:19: "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own." The song, through its simple yet potent imagery, encourages listeners to maintain their spiritual "home" with diligence, ensuring it remains a sanctuary for the living Christ, a testament to His abiding love and the new life He offers.
