Isaías 28:16

Danny Berrios' song "Isaías 28:16" is a deeply spiritual piece that draws its inspiration from the Bible, specifically the book of Isaiah. The lyrics reference a cornerstone, a fundamental element in construction that symbolizes strength, stability, and foundation. In the context of the song, this cornerstone represents Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as the cornerstone in Christian theology. The repetition of the phrase "En sión yo he fundado la piedra" (In Zion, I have laid a stone) emphasizes the divine origin and the unshakeable nature of this foundation, as declared by Jehovah (God).

The song further elaborates on the attributes of this cornerstone, describing it as a stone of strength, a precious cornerstone, and one that establishes. These descriptions align with the biblical portrayal of Jesus as a figure of immense strength and value, who provides a stable foundation for believers. The line "El que creyere no se apresurará" (He who believes will not be in haste) suggests that faith in this cornerstone brings a sense of peace and assurance, eliminating the need for hurried or anxious actions.

In the latter part of the song, Berrios shifts to a more personal and worshipful tone, referring to Jesus as "Admirable, consejero" (Wonderful, Counselor), "dios fuerte" (Mighty God), and "mi príncipe de paz" (my Prince of Peace). These titles are drawn from Isaiah 9:6 and highlight the multifaceted nature of Jesus' role in the lives of believers. By calling Jesus his Prince of Peace, Berrios underscores the tranquility and guidance that faith in Jesus brings to his life. The song, therefore, serves as both a declaration of faith and a personal testimony of the peace and stability found in Jesus Christ.
