Aline Barros - Cubra-Me Lyrics
Lyrics
Cubra-me, abraçe-me
Vem esconder-me em suas asas, oh Senhor
Cubra-me, abraçe-me
Vem esconder-me em suas asas, oh Senhor
Não me deixe ir sem que eu receba da Sua graça, do Seu amor
Se o medo inundar meu coração
Tentando me impedir de avançar e prosseguir
Fazendo-me pensar que é pouco o meu valor
Me lembrarei de tudo o que me prometeu
E é quando mais eu te quero
E é quando mais eu necessito
Ouvir tua doce voz dizendo: "Eu estou aqui"
Cubra-me, abraçe-me
Vem esconder-me em suas asas, oh Senhor
Cubra-me, abraçe-me
Vem esconder-me em suas asas, oh Senhor
Não me deixe ir sem que eu receba da Sua graça, do Seu amor

Meaning & Inspiration
Aline Barros' "Cubra-Me," released on August 4, 2023, as part of her live album "30 Anos Na Casa," offers a profound devotional reflection, drawing directly from a deep well of biblical truth. The song’s narrative is a raw and earnest plea for divine presence and protection, born from moments of vulnerability and doubt. The repeated calls to be "covered" and "embraced" by the Lord evoke the scriptural imagery of God’s refuge, echoing verses like Psalm 91:4, which speaks of His feathers covering us and His faithfulness being our shield and rampart. This is not a song seeking mere comfort, but an active yearning for the tangible experience of God's nearness in times of trial.
The lyrics articulate a powerful recognition of human frailty, particularly when fear attempts to paralyze the spirit and diminish self-worth. This resonates deeply with the biblical understanding of the enemy’s tactics, as described in passages like 1 Peter 5:8, which warns us to be alert and sober because our enemy prowls like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Yet, the song pivots from despair to hope by anchoring itself in God’s promises. The singer declares, "Me lembrarei de tudo o que me prometeu" (I will remember all that You promised me), a practice strongly encouraged throughout Scripture, such as in Isaiah 43:18-19, where God commands us not to dwell on past things but to look forward to His new work, or in the Psalmist’s constant remembrance of God's faithfulness in the face of adversity. The core of the song’s message lies in the desperate need for God’s grace and love, a sentiment beautifully captured in the repeated request, "Não me deixe ir sem que eu receba da Sua graça, do Seu amor" (Don't let me go without receiving Your grace, Your love). This is the very essence of salvation and sanctification, recognizing that our ability to stand and to continue walking in faith is entirely dependent on His empowering presence. The desire to hear God's voice saying, "Eu estou aqui" (I am here), directly reflects the assurance found in Jesus’ promise to be with us always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20). "Cubra-Me" is thus an anthem for the journey of faith, a heartfelt aspiration to remain immersed in the protective and strengthening embrace of the Almighty, never moving forward without His anointing and constant reaffirmation of His love.
