Bruna Karla - Digno E o Cordeiro Lyrics
Lyrics
Jo?o teve uma vis?o
Foi na ilha de Patmus
Pois n?o havia ningu?m
Nem anjos que pudessem livro desatar
Foi quando um anci?o
Disse assim para Jo?o
Para se chorar o cordeiro
Reviveu e a morte Ele venceu
S? Ele ? digno!
Do livro desatar
O cordeiro reviveu
E a morte Ele venceu
Pra gl?ria de Deus
Fico a imaginar o c?u
Com um coral todo de branco
De m?os dadas a cantar
Santo, Santo, Santo
Ao cordeiro que vivo est?
Tamb?m fico a imaginar
Que maravilha ser?
Ver Jesus Cristo face a face
E tamb?m os meus irm?os
Juntos em adora??o

Meaning & Inspiration
Bruna Karla’s "Digno é o Cordeiro," released on January 18, 2014, stands as a profound declaration of Christian faith, drawing its core inspiration directly from the apocalyptic visions recorded in the book of Revelation. The song immediately transports us to the island of Patmos, where the apostle John received divine insights into the end times and the ultimate triumph of God. The narrative begins by painting a vivid scene of John's distress upon seeing a scroll sealed with seven seals, a scroll that held the very decrees of God's future plan, yet no one in all of creation—neither in heaven, nor on earth, nor under the earth—was found worthy to open it. The lyrics capture this precise moment of cosmic crisis and John’s deep sorrow, stating, "Pois não havia ninguém / Nem anjos que pudessem livro desatar" (For there was no one / Not even angels who could untie the book), echoing Revelation 5:3-4.
This moment of despair quickly shifts to one of hope and revelation, mirroring John’s own experience. An elder in the vision comforts John, urging him not to weep, for the solution has emerged. The song recounts, "Foi quando um ancião / Disse assim para João / Para se chorar o cordeiro / Reviveu e a morte Ele venceu" (It was then an elder / Said to John / Do not weep, for the Lamb / He rose again and conquered death). This powerful pivot introduces the central figure of the song: the Lamb. This Lamb is identified as Jesus Christ, who through His resurrection and victory over death, demonstrated His singular worthiness to fulfill God's redemptive plan. This passage directly correlates with Revelation 5:5-6, where John is told that "the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed," and then he sees "a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain," standing at the center of the throne. It is Christ's ultimate sacrifice and resurrection that grants Him this unparalleled authority and dominion.
The chorus serves as the song's theological cornerstone, proclaiming with unwavering conviction: "Só Ele é digno! / Do livro desatar / O cordeiro reviveu / E a morte Ele venceu / Pra glória de Deus" (Only He is worthy! / To untie the book / The Lamb rose again / And He conquered death / For the glory of God). This declaration of Christ's worthiness resonates deeply with Revelation 5:9-10, where a new song is sung to the Lamb: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation." The emphasis on His triumph over death is crucial, underscoring the resurrection as the definitive victory that validated His claims and completed His mission. This triumph is not for His own exaltation alone, but "Pra glória de Deus," aligning with Philippians 2:9-11, which states that God exalted Christ "to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow... to the glory of God the Father."
Beyond the historical and prophetic foundation, the song extends into a beautiful vision of future heavenly worship, inviting all who listen to imagine this glorious reality. Bruna Karla sings, "Fico a imaginar o céu / Com um coral todo de branco / De mãos dadas a cantar / Santo, Santo, Santo / Ao cordeiro que vivo está" (I imagine heaven / With a choir all in white / Holding hands singing / Holy, Holy, Holy / To the Lamb who is alive). This imagery draws directly from Revelation 7:9-10, depicting a "great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out with a loud voice, 'Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!'" The repeated chant of "Santo, Santo, Santo" (Holy, Holy, Holy) echoes the eternal adoration of God found in Isaiah 6:3 and Revelation 4:8, now directed to the living Lamb, affirming His divine nature and supreme holiness. The picture of hands joined in unison speaks to the profound unity and communion of the redeemed in God's presence.
The song culminates in a deeply personal anticipation of eternity, transforming the grand cosmic vision into a hope for individual believers. "Também fico a imaginar / Que maravilha será? / Ver Jesus Cristo face a face / E também os meus irmãos / Juntos em adoração" (I also imagine / How wonderful it will be? / To see Jesus Christ face to face / And also my brothers and sisters / Together in adoration). This expresses the ultimate longing of every Christian: to behold their Savior directly, without veil or shadow. This echoes 1 John 3:2, which promises, "we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is," and 1 Corinthians 13:12, which assures us that one day we will see "face to face." The inclusion of "meus irmãos" (my brothers and sisters) emphasizes that this future glory is a shared experience, a collective worship of the redeemed family of God, united in adoration for the Lamb who was slain and lives forevermore. "Digno é o Cordeiro" is not merely a song; it is a declaration, a prayer, and a beacon of hope, firmly rooting faith in the unshakeable truth of Christ's sovereignty and the glorious future awaiting those who believe.
