Aline Barros - Encontro Perfeito Lyrics
Lyrics
Vem, queremos estar com o Senhor
Sua obra com seu criador
O encontro perfeito
Vem, ansiamos estar com o Senhor
A vida com seu autor
O encontro escrito
Antes mesmo da criação
Antes de tudo
Aqui nós te buscamos
Aqui nós te desejamos
Aqui nós reconhecemos o teu nome
Aqui nós nos rendemos
Aqui nós nos prostramos
Aqui nós adoramos o teu nome
Antes de tudo
Antes de tudo
Senhor, Tu és maravilhoso
Senhor, Tu és Digno e Santo
Em Teu nome há todo poder
Pra sempre e sempre

Aline Barros - Encontro Perfeito (Live Session)
Meaning & Inspiration
The song "Encontro Perfeito" by Aline Barros, particularly as presented in the Live Session video released on August 1, 2017, stands as a powerful anthem of divine longing and worship. This performance captures the heart of a believer seeking a profound connection with their Creator. The title itself, translating to "Perfect Encounter," immediately conveys the central theme: the ultimate meeting between humanity and God, depicted not just as a possibility, but as the most desirable and essential experience.
The lyrics express a deep-seated yearning for God's presence, highlighting the natural relationship between creation and its source. The repetition of "Vem, queremos estar com o Senhor" (Come, we want to be with the Lord) and "ansiamos estar com o Senhor" (we long to be with the Lord) underscores the intensity of this spiritual desire. A core theological point is introduced: this "perfect encounter" was "escrito / Antes mesmo da criação / Antes de tudo" (written / Before creation / Before everything), emphasizing God's eternal plan for relationship with humanity, a concept foundational to Christian belief.
Within this encounter, the song describes the actions of the worshipper: "Aqui nós te buscamos / Aqui nós te desejamos / Aqui nós reconhecemos o teu nome / Aqui nós nos rendemos / Aqui nós nos prostramos / Aqui nós adoramos o teu nome" (Here we seek You / Here we desire You / Here we recognize Your name / Here we surrender / Here we prostrate ourselves / Here we worship Your name). The repeated use of "Aqui" (Here) suggests a specific moment or place where this encounter is actively pursued and experienced, leading to acts of recognition, surrender, humility, and adoration – the appropriate response to being in the divine presence.
The song culminates in extolling God's character and power. Declarations like "Senhor, Tu és maravilhoso / Senhor, Tu és Digno e Santo / Em Teu nome há todo poder / Pra sempre e sempre" (Lord, You are wonderful / Lord, You are Worthy and Holy / In Your name there is all power / Forever and ever) affirm God's supreme attributes. This recognition of His worthiness and power undergirds the worshipper's surrender and adoration, acknowledging that the perfect encounter is with a being of ultimate glory and authority, whose power is eternal.
The themes explored in "Encontro Perfeito" resonate deeply with numerous scripture passages. The yearning for God echoes sentiments found in Psalm 42:1-2, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, the living God." The idea of God as the author of life and creator of all reflects Genesis 1:1 and Colossians 1:16. The concept of an eternal plan for humanity's relationship with God is seen in Ephesians 1:4, stating that God chose believers before the creation of the world. The acts of prostration, surrender, and worship in God's presence align with descriptions in Revelation 4:10-11, where elders fall down before the throne to worship the Creator, and Philippians 2:9-11, which speaks of every knee bowing at the name of Jesus. The affirmation of God's holiness and power in His name is a core biblical truth found throughout scripture, including Revelation 4:8 and Matthew 28:18. The song beautifully weaves these biblical threads into a contemporary expression of faith, inviting listeners into their own experience of this perfect encounter.
