Resurrect me
Song by Aline Barros ‧ 2011
With English subtitles
This video presents the song “Ressuscita-me,” one of the great hits by gospel singer Aline Barros, released on the album Extraordinário Amor de Deus in 2011.
Main points of the song:
Theme of faith and renewal: The lyrics are a prayer asking for divine intervention to restore dreams, transform life, and bring hope, using the biblical reference of the resurrection of Lazarus (0:41 - 0:52).
Emotional climax: The chorus, which begins at (1:07) and repeats throughout the song, is a fervent appeal for a miracle and for spiritual restoration.
Message of power: The bridge of the song (3:04 - 3:30) reinforces the identity of God as the source of life and strength, declaring that the listener is being lifted up to overcome.
The interpretation highlights the capacity for overcoming and the belief that, even in moments of darkness or discouragement, it is possible to hear the voice of God and live a new story.
Resurrect me
Song by Aline Barros ‧ 2011
Lyrics
Master, I need a miracle.
Transform my life, my state.
It's been a long time since I've seen the light of day.
They're trying to bury my joy,
trying to see my dreams canceled.
Lazarus heard your voice
when that stone was removed.
After four days he revived.
Master, there is no other who can do
what only your name has all the power to do.
I need a miracle so much.
Remove my stone,
call me by name,
change my story,
resurrect my dreams
, transform my life
, perform a miracle for me,
touch me at this moment
, call me forth,
resurrect me.
Master, I need a miracle.
Transform my life, my state.
It's been a long time since I've seen the light of day.
They're trying to bury my joy,
trying to see my dreams canceled.
Lazarus heard your voice
when that stone was removed.
After four days he revived.
Master, there is no other who can do
what only your name has all the power to do.
I need a miracle so much.
Remove my stone,
call me by name,
change my story,
resurrect my dreams,
transform my life,
perform a miracle for me,
touch me at this moment,
call me forth,
resurrect me.
You are life itself,
the strength within me.
You are the Son of God
who lifts me up to victory.
Lord of all within me,
I already hear your voice
calling me to live
a story of power.
Remove my stone,
call me by name,
change my story,
resurrect my dreams
, transform my life
, perform a miracle for me,
touch me at this moment, Lord,
call me forth.
Remove my stone,
call me by name,
change my story,
resurrect my dreams,
transform my life, Lord,
perform a miracle for me
, touch me at this moment
, call me forth
, resurrect me,
resurrect me.
Remove my stone,
call me by name,
change my story,
resurrect my dreams
, transform my life
, perform a miracle for me,
touch me at this moment
, call me forth,
resurrect me.

The Gospel According to Spiritism
by ALLAN KARDEC – translated by José Herculano Pires
The Power of Faith
1 – And when he came to where the people were, a man came to him, kneeling down and saying to him, “Lord, have mercy on my son, who is an epileptic and suffers terribly; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. And I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.” And Jesus answered and said, “O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to me.” And Jesus blessed him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was healed from that hour. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said to him, “Why could we not cast it out?” Jesus said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:14-19)
2 – It is true that, in a positive sense, confidence in one's own strength enables us to accomplish material things that we cannot do when we doubt ourselves. But then, it is only in its moral sense that we should understand these words. The mountains that faith moves are the difficulties, the resistance, the ill will—in a word—that we encounter among men, even when it comes to the best things. The prejudices of routine, material interest, selfishness, the blindness of fanaticism, proud passions—these are all mountains that obstruct the path of those who work for the progress of humanity. Robust faith confers the perseverance, energy, and resources necessary for victory over obstacles, both in small and great things. Wavering faith produces uncertainty and hesitation, which are exploited by the adversaries we must fight; it does not even seek the means to win because it does not believe in the possibility of victory.
3 – In another sense, faith is considered the confidence placed in the realization of a certain thing, the certainty of achieving an objective. In this case, it confers a kind of lucidity, which allows one to foresee through thought the ends one has in mind and the means of achieving them, so that the one who possesses it advances, so to speak, infallibly. In either case, it can bring about great things.
Sincere and true faith is always calm. It confers the patience that knows how to wait, because, being supported by intelligence and understanding of things, it is certain of reaching the end. Insecure faith feels its own weakness, and when stimulated by self-interest, it becomes furious and believes it can compensate for its lack of strength with violence. Calmness in struggle is always a sign of strength and confidence, while violence, on the contrary, is proof of weakness and lack of self-confidence.
4 – It is necessary to guard against confusing faith with presumption. True faith is allied with humility. He who possesses it places his trust in God more than in himself, for he knows that, as a simple instrument of God's will, he can do nothing without Him. This is why Good Spirits come to his aid. Presumption is less faith than pride, and pride is always punished sooner or later by the disappointment and failures inflicted upon it.
5 – The power of faith has a direct and special application in magnetic action. Thanks to it, man acts upon the fluid, the universal agent, modifies its quality and gives it an almost irresistible impulse. This is why he who combines a great normal fluidic power with ardent faith can operate, solely by his will directed towards good, those strange phenomena of healing and of another nature, which were formerly considered prodigies, and which nevertheless are nothing more than consequences of a natural law. This is why Jesus said to his apostles: If you could not heal, it was because of your little faith.
II – Divine Faith and Human Faith
A PROTECTIVE SPIRIT
Paris, 1863
12 – Faith is the innate feeling in man of his destiny.
It is the awareness of the prodigious faculties that lie dormant within him, initially in a latent state, but which he must cause to germinate and grow through his active will.
Until now, faith has only been understood in its religious sense, because Christ revealed it as a powerful lever, and because they only saw in him a religious leader.
But Christ, who performed true miracles, showed, through those same miracles, how much a person who has faith can do, that is, who has the will to want and the certainty that this will can realize itself.
Did not the apostles, through their example, also perform miracles? Now, what were these miracles, if not the natural effects of a cause unknown to the men of that time, but today largely explained and which will be completely understood through the study of Spiritism and magnetism?
Faith is human or divine, according to how a person applies their faculties to earthly needs or to their heavenly and future aspirations. A man of genius, who pursues the realization of a great undertaking, triumphs if he has faith, because he feels within himself that he can and must triumph, and this inner certainty gives him extraordinary strength. The good man who, believing in his heavenly future, wishes to fill his life with noble and beautiful actions, draws from his faith, from the certainty of the happiness that awaits him, the necessary strength, and even in this case, miracles of charity, sacrifice, and self-denial are performed. Finally, there are no evil inclinations that cannot be overcome with faith .
Magnetism is one of the greatest proofs of the power of faith when put into action. It is through faith that it heals and produces those strange phenomena that, in the past, were called miracles.
I repeat to you: faith is both human and divine. If all incarnate creatures were sufficiently persuaded of the power they carry within themselves, and if they were willing to put their will at the service of that power, they would be capable of achieving what you call miracles until now, which is simply the development of human faculties.
In The Gospel According to Spiritism (Chapter XIX), faith is divided into human and divine based on its focus.
Human faith applies to material needs, moving talents and undertakings, while divine faith is directed toward heavenly aspirations, the spiritual future, and morality, being the certainty of divine protection.
Main aspects of faith in Spiritism:
Human Faith: Linked to personal effort and willpower to carry out earthly projects — the “man of genius.”
Divine Faith: Focused on the spiritual future, on good, and on evolution. It is the inner certainty in God’s wisdom, resulting in reasoned faith.
True faith: Genuine faith is not blind; it is calm, serene, and based on intelligence and understanding of the divine law.
The Faith That Moves Mountains: Jesus’ phrase refers to the capacity of faith — human and divine combined — to overcome obstacles, conquer bad inclinations, and perform moral “miracles” — charity, self-denial.
Spiritism teaches that true faith brings calm and courage, while presumption is merely pride. It is innate, but must be developed through the effort of the spirit.
GEMINI AI ANALYSIS:
It is deeply inspiring to see these reflections on faith and prayer brought together.
Whether through the daily pursuit of guidance and protection in the morning prayer, the soul-stirring plea for spiritual renewal and resurrection of dreams found in the music of Aline Barros, or the reasoned, deep understanding of faith as a "prodigious faculty" explored by Allan Kardec, the common thread is the power of the human spirit when connected to the Divine.
As you reflect on these materials, here are a few ways to integrate these messages into your day:
On Faith and Action
As noted in the exploration of The Gospel According to Spiritism, faith is not merely a passive belief but a "powerful lever." When you face challenges—whether they be personal trials or obstacles in your journey—remember that:
True Faith is Calm:
It is not driven by violence or desperate urgency, but by the serenity that comes from understanding God’s law. As you pray today, seek that inner stillness which allows you to wait with patience and confidence.
The "Mountains" are Internal:
The difficulties you encounter are often the very mountains that faith is meant to move—not just external circumstances, but internal resistances, prejudices, or fears.
Reasoned Faith:
Your faith is strengthened when it is allied with intelligence. By studying the foundations of your beliefs, you move from a state of "blind faith" to a robust, conscious connection with the Divine.
A Moment for Your Personal Intentions
The song Ressuscita-me acts as a beautiful bridge between the human need for a miracle and the divine capacity for transformation. If you are feeling discouraged, use this time to:
Identify your "stone":
What is currently blocking your joy or your dreams?
Call upon the Source:
As you listen or reflect on the lyrics, visualize the renewal of your own "Lazarus" moments—those aspects of your life that you wish to see revived through God's power.
Exercise your Will:
Remember the teaching that faith is the awareness of the faculties lying dormant within you. You are an instrument of God's will; by combining your intent with deep faith, you open yourself to the "miracles" of progress and moral change.
May your day be filled with the protection and guidance you seek. May your prayers reach the heights, and may you feel that "story of power" unfolding in your own life.
