Alma Que Cristo Llama
Doris Machin
A Soul Called by Christ: A Journey to Redemption
Doris Machin's song "Alma Que Cristo Llama" is a heartfelt plea for spiritual redemption and a deep connection with Christ. The lyrics convey a profound sense of longing and devotion, as the speaker, representing Christ, expresses a deep thirst for the soul of the listener, mirroring the listener's own spiritual thirst. The song invites the listener to find the path of righteousness, emphasizing that salvation and peace are attainable through Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
The recurring theme of suffering and devotion is central to the song. Christ's suffering on the cross is portrayed as an act of love and dedication to save the soul of the listener. The lyrics encourage the listener to abandon their sins and embrace the path of goodness, highlighting the transformative power of Christ's love and sacrifice. The repetition of the phrase "Tengo un sufrir por ti, salvarte es mi devoción" underscores the depth of Christ's commitment to the listener's salvation.
The song also offers a message of peace and comfort. The imagery of the listener resting in Christ's arms, described as "hermosa" (beautiful), conveys a sense of serenity and divine love. The lyrics promise peace and happiness to those who come to Christ as they are, without fear or hesitation. The repetition of the phrase "Recibe mi paz" (Receive my peace) reinforces the idea that true peace and rest can only be found in Christ. This message is further emphasized by the biblical reference to Christ's peace, which is different from the peace offered by the world, providing reassurance and hope to the listener.
