Sol Da Justiça

Waking up to the sun and seeking God before the day gets going is the image the song builds on, and it sets up a promise made ahead of time: "E à tarde, quando o Sol cair, ainda assim Te exaltarei" (and in the afternoon, when the sun goes down, I will still exalt You). The morning seeking is answered by a voice telling the singer, "Filho, não te deixei" (Son, I have not left you), so the praise rests on presence rather than mood.

Aline Barros plays on the title, taking the "Sol da justiça" (Sun of righteousness) as a name for God and letting the daily sunrise carry the hope of the chorus: if the night brings tears, the day will come and victory with it. A spoken-style bridge of "Sim, eu sei, sim, eu creio" leads into the line that weeping may last a whole night while joy arrives in the middle of darkness and trial.

The wording echoes Malachi's promise of the sun of righteousness rising with healing and the psalmist's confidence that joy comes in the morning, which is why those passages sit beside it here. Sung in Portuguese, it is a plain statement of faith for anyone waiting out a long night.
