Lyrics
Manancial,
Fonte de vida
De onde preciso e quero beber todos os dias
Bem mais que um desejo
Tu ?s essencial
Pra sustentar a minha vida Senhor Jesus
Eu tenho sede de Ti
Minh'alma anseia por Ti
S? me satisfa?o quando estou junto aos Teus p?s
Eu tenho sede de Ti
Minh'alma anseia por Ti
Manancial, ?nica fonte de vida Tu ?s

Meaning & Inspiration
Aline Barros' "Manancial (Tenho Sede de Ti)," presented in its live version from the DVD Caminho de Milagres and released on February 25, 2022, offers a powerful expression of spiritual longing and fulfillment rooted in faith. The song's title, translating to "Spring" or "Source (I Thirst for You)," immediately sets the stage for a deep exploration of the soul's need for divine connection. It’s not merely a performance but a captured moment of worship, inviting others into the personal journey of seeking God as the ultimate and necessary source of life and satisfaction. This theme resonates universally with the human condition, acknowledging an inherent emptiness or thirst that cannot be quenched by the temporary springs the world offers.
The core message of "Manancial" speaks directly to the biblical narrative of God being the life-giving source for His people. Just as the ancient psalmist cried out, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God," (Psalm 42:1-2 NIV), the song echoes this deep, biological-level need projected onto the spiritual realm. It highlights the fundamental truth that our spirits require sustenance that only the Creator can provide. This isn't just about wanting more; it's about recognizing an essential thirst for a relationship with the living God, acknowledging Him as the indispensable spring from which true life flows.
Analyzing the song’s impact reveals its ability to connect people with a profound spiritual truth articulated throughout Scripture. Jesus Himself spoke of this living water, promising the Samaritan woman that those who drink from the water He gives will "never thirst" again, but that the water He gives will become "a spring of water welling up to eternal life" (John 4:14 NIV). Similarly, He stood up during the Feast of Tabernacles and declared, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them" (John 7:37-38 NIV). The song "Manancial" captures this transformative promise, inviting those who feel parched by life's challenges or the pursuit of fleeting pleasures to turn to Christ as the inexhaustible source. It serves as a musical reminder that God is not a distant reservoir but a dynamic, accessible source eager to satisfy our deepest needs and flow within us, bringing refreshment and life.
The beauty of this live recording lies in its raw authenticity, reflecting a collective expression of this shared spiritual thirst and the joy of finding fulfillment in God. It avoids the polished distance sometimes found in studio recordings, instead capturing the powerful atmosphere of unified worship that amplifies the song’s message. By declaring "I thirst for You," the song models a posture of humility and dependence, recognizing that true satisfaction isn't self-generated but received from the Divine "Manancial." This aligns with warnings in the Bible against seeking fulfillment elsewhere, as Jeremiah 2:13 describes God's people committing two evils: "They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water." "Manancial" serves as a musical affirmation of turning away from those broken cisterns and back towards the true Source, encouraging others to do the same and find the abundant life promised in Christ. It’s a compelling piece that ministers to the soul’s deepest need, drawing listeners into a place of genuine seeking and discovery of God as their unfailing spring.
