Me Dice El Salvador

Crystal Lewis's song "Me Dice El Salvador" is a heartfelt expression of faith and reliance on divine strength. The lyrics convey a message of humility and dependence on a higher power, specifically Jesus Christ, referred to as 'El Salvador' or 'The Savior.' The opening lines, "Es poco tu poder; Hijo débil, Halla en mi Todo cuanto has menester," translate to "Your power is little; Weak child, find in me all that you need." This sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the limited nature of human strength and the boundless support available through faith in Jesus.

The chorus, "Todo debo a el, Pues pagó; De las manchas del pecar Cual nieve me lavó," translates to "I owe everything to Him, for He paid; He washed me from the stains of sin like snow." This metaphor of being washed clean like snow is a powerful image in Christian theology, symbolizing purification and redemption. The acknowledgment of Jesus's sacrifice and the cleansing of sins highlight the core Christian belief in salvation and grace.

The final verse, "Cuando ante el trono, Alla, Completo en el este, A los pies de mi Jesus mis trofeos echare," translates to "When before the throne, there, complete in Him, at the feet of my Jesus, I will lay my trophies." This imagery of laying trophies at Jesus's feet signifies the ultimate act of humility and gratitude, recognizing that all achievements and honors are due to His guidance and support. The song encapsulates a journey of faith, from recognizing one's weaknesses to finding strength and redemption in the Savior, culminating in an eternal act of worship and gratitude.
