Aline Barros - Guarda A Tua Fé Lyrics
Lyrics
Quando estou cansado na batalha pela fé
A tua sombra é o meu esconderijo oh Deus
Mais uma vez estou aqui oh Pai
Quero tua graça sobre mim
São tantos os meus planos
E tão grandes as barreiras para me impedir
Mas eu tenho o teu socorro
Há momentos que me fazem meditar
Dos teus pensamentos sobre mim
Eu sei que vale a pena
Trilhar o teu caminho
E quero prosseguir
A tristeza é como o mar
Tentando afogar os sonhos
Sonhos que nasceram no teu coração pra mim, Senhor
Mesmo quando estou cansado
Na batalha pela fé
A tua sombra é o meu esconderijo, oh Deus
E quando penso em desistir
O meu Senhor me diz assim
"Se tu me amas
Então guarda a tua fé
Guarda até o fim
Oh, filho meu"
Guarda a tua fé
Guarda até o fim oh oh oh
Guarda a tua fé
Guarda a tua fé
Guarda até o fim o filho meu

Meaning & Inspiration
Released in 2012 as part of the momentous "Aline Barros 20 Anos ao Vivo" album, "Guarda a Tua Fé" by Aline Barros emerges as a powerful anthem of perseverance for believers navigating life's trials. The song directly addresses the weariness that can accompany spiritual warfare, acknowledging the internal struggle against doubt and discouragement. The central theme, “Guarda a tua fé” (Guard your faith), is a divine imperative, a gentle yet firm exhortation from God to His child. This command resonates deeply with the biblical admonition found in 1 Corinthians 16:13, which urges believers to "Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong." The lyrics poetically describe the overwhelming nature of sadness, likening it to a sea attempting to drown aspirations, a powerful metaphor for how despair can threaten to extinguish God-given dreams. However, the song immediately offers solace and strength by invoking God's presence as a sanctuary, a "shadow" where one can find refuge when feeling exhausted in the fight of faith. This imagery directly mirrors Psalm 91:1, which declares, "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty." The heartfelt plea for God's grace, "Quero tua graça sobre mim" (I want your grace upon me), underscores our utter dependence on divine favor, acknowledging that our own plans and the obstacles we face are often dwart when compared to the sufficiency of His help. This dependence is echoed in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through him who strengthens me," reminding us that our strength originates not from ourselves, but from our connection with God. When the temptation to give up arises, the song offers a direct message of divine reassurance: "Se tu me amas, então guarda a tua fé, guarda até o fim, oh, filho meu" (If you love me, then guard your faith, guard it until the end, oh, my child). This divine whisper of love and instruction directly reflects the unwavering commitment God has to His children, a love that empowers us to remain steadfast. The repeated chorus, "Guarda a tua fé, guarda até o fim" (Guard your faith, guard it until the end), is more than just a catchy refrain; it's a spiritual discipline being encouraged. It calls for a conscious and deliberate act of holding onto one's belief, even amidst adversity, a principle found in Hebrews 10:23, "Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful." The song beautifully illustrates that true faith isn't passive; it requires active guarding, a commitment to preserve the precious gift of belief until the very end, finding constant renewal in God's abiding presence and His promises.
