Digno e Santo

Cristina Abiel's song 'Digno e Santo' is a powerful hymn that exudes reverence and adoration for the divine. The lyrics are deeply rooted in Christian theology, celebrating the holiness and majesty of God. The song opens with a declaration of the worthiness and sanctity of the Lamb, a reference to Jesus Christ, who was sacrificed on the cross. This imagery is central to Christian beliefs, symbolizing redemption and salvation. The call to raise a new song to the one who sits on the throne emphasizes the eternal reign and sovereignty of God.

The recurring refrain of 'Santo, santo, santo' (Holy, holy, holy) underscores the omnipotence and eternal nature of God, who 'was, is, and is to come.' This phrase is a direct reference to the Trisagion, an ancient hymn of the Christian liturgy, and the Book of Revelation in the Bible. The song invites all of creation to join in singing 'Hosana ao grande eu sou' (Hosanna to the great I Am), a phrase that acknowledges God's supreme authority and presence. The personal declaration 'Tu és meu tudo e eu te adorarei' (You are my everything, and I will worship you) reflects a deep, personal devotion and commitment to worship.

The vivid imagery of God being clothed in a rainbow and His voice resounding like thunder adds to the majestic and awe-inspiring portrayal of the divine. The song attributes honor, glory, power, and majesty to God, recognizing Him as the 'único rei' (only king). The final lines, 'Tão grandioso, glorioso, meu consolador Jesus' (So grand, glorious, my comforter Jesus), bring a personal touch to the worship, highlighting Jesus as a source of comfort and glory. Cristina Abiel's musical style, characterized by its emotive and worshipful tone, enhances the spiritual experience, making 'Digno e Santo' a profound expression of faith and adoration.
