Con Todo Lo Que Soy
Alejandro Del Bosque
A Heartfelt Tribute to Divine Sacrifice
Alejandro Del Bosque's song "Con Todo Lo Que Soy" is a deeply emotional and spiritual piece that reflects on the themes of gratitude, sacrifice, and devotion. The lyrics express a profound sense of indebtedness to Jesus Christ for his sacrifice on the cross, which the singer believes has granted him eternal life. The opening lines, "Como puedo pagar un segundo de eternidad / Que tu sangre pago al morir en la cruz por mi?" (How can I repay a second of eternity / That your blood paid by dying on the cross for me?), set the tone for the entire song, highlighting the singer's awareness of the immense gift he has received and his desire to give back, even though he knows he can never fully repay it.
The recurring chorus, "Con todo lo que soy, Con todo lo que tengo / Te quiero demostrar, que Tú eres lo que yo amo más" (With all that I am, With all that I have / I want to show you that You are what I love the most), emphasizes the singer's commitment to dedicating his entire being to God. This dedication is further illustrated through the metaphor of breaking an alabaster jar at Jesus' feet, a reference to the biblical story of Mary of Bethany, who anointed Jesus with expensive perfume as an act of worship and love. This act symbolizes the singer's willingness to offer everything he has in gratitude and devotion.
The song also touches on themes of freedom and redemption, as seen in the lines, "Tu grande amor, que derramaste en la cruz / Me dio la libertad" (Your great love, which you poured out on the cross / Gave me freedom). This highlights the transformative power of divine love and the liberation it brings to believers. Alejandro Del Bosque's heartfelt delivery and the song's poignant lyrics create a powerful message of faith, love, and unwavering devotion to God.
