Comment:

With straightforward lyrics, the song of invocation occurs as a fervent prayer that invokes the divine presence and manifestation. It is usually sung in the Evangelical Church of Congo, during large outdoor gatherings and on the occasion of Pentecost.
Christians gathered to ask God to come and meet them and give them the new fire, that is to say the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, Jesus' disciples receive the Holy Spirit as tongues of fire that land on their heads (Acts 2, 1-4).
The evocation of what God has done for Israel ( You have revealed guided ... you ... you blessed children Israel ) is to be recalled to the memory of all (singers and listeners) a goodness which will hopefully benefit. Christians therefore expect God to take care of every person, as he has done for Israel. At the same time, the assembly sings replaces the chosen people, becoming the new Israel which falls on the Spirit of God, in a completely new (hence the allusion to fire again ) . In reality, the religious context of the receiver confirms this line of interpretation of the song: in the Evangelical Church of Congo, there is a profusion charisms (songs and medicine revealed, gift of vision, prophecy, writing, healing, etc..) that the faithful believe to be the new and special event of the Spirit of God among his people.

Comment:

Here is a song whose content seems resolutely forward beyond! Unlike other songs that make God speak in first person, it will call on the believer who demonstrates an amazing discovery: he found the sky.
The sky becomes in this song, the focus of the believer's life that runs through the pains of existence with his thoughts about the afterlife. Is this a way to escape the daily taking refuge in that other world that suggests the speech of the Christian faith? It is not safe. The second stanza shows the realism that is characteristic of singing, because she told the believer: "I'm down here." Far from being an "enlightened" in the pejorative sense in which some use, the receiver of the song is quite aware of his human condition, he does not try to escape, but to live with optimism instead of focusing its difficulties.
Hence the surprising assertion of the fourth stanza: "In solitude, I pray, in poverty, I sing" . The courage to sing in misfortune is that the believer has a place of hope - the sky - which puts into perspective the difficulty of the human condition and approach it with serenity, in song and prayer.

Comments:
Drawing on biblical texts, this song tells of the birth of Jesus, a descendant of David, the son of God and Savior of the world. People around the world are invited to join in the celebration of this event for the whole universe.
The fourth verse is particularly interesting: it proclaims the dual nature of Jesus (he is both divine and human), which attests to the presence of a thought duophysite within the Evangelical Church of Congo which resulted in the receiver.
