Sung in Portuguese, "Jeová Jireh" takes its title directly from Genesis 22:14, where Abraham names the place of God's provision "Yahweh Yireh" — "the Lord will provide" — after God supplies a ram in place of Isaac. The opening lines, "O fogo não me queima, nas águas não vou afundar" ("the fire won't burn me, in the waters I won't sink"), closely follow Isaiah 43:2's promise of passing through fire and flood unharmed. The recurring line "Eu não vivo do que vejo, vivo do que creio" ("I don't live by what I see, I live by what I believe") is a near-direct translation of 2 Corinthians 5:7, "we walk by faith, not by sight" — the song's central declaration that God's provision doesn't depend on visible circumstances.
