Ruge (part. Montesanto)

Christine D'Clario's song 'Ruge' is a powerful anthem of faith and divine protection. The lyrics emphasize the omnipresence and omnipotence of God, referred to as 'El gran yo soy' (The Great I Am). The song speaks to the personal experiences of witnessing God's power, as He closes the mouths of enemies and takes captive every thought. This imagery suggests a God who is actively involved in the lives of believers, providing both spiritual and physical protection.

The chorus likens God's voice to the roar of a lion, a metaphor for His strength and authority. This roar is not just a sound but a declaration of defense for His people. The lyrics describe God as a 'Rey fuerte en batalla' (strong King in battle) who cannot be challenged and who never fails. This portrayal of God as a warrior king who responds to the cries of His children reinforces the theme of divine intervention and support in times of need.

The song also calls for communal participation, urging listeners to raise their voices and sing together, celebrating the miracles they have witnessed. The repeated use of 'ruge' (roar) in the bridge serves as a rallying cry, symbolizing the breaking down of walls and the winning of battles. The reference to 'la tribu del leon' (the tribe of the lion) creates a sense of unity and belonging among believers, suggesting that they are part of a powerful, divine family led by a mighty and protective God.

'Ruge' is a song that not only celebrates God's power and protection but also encourages believers to actively participate in their faith, recognizing the miracles in their lives and standing together as a community under the protection of their divine King.
