Por La Cruz

En Espiritu Y En Verdad's song 'Por La Cruz' is a heartfelt tribute to the profound love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The lyrics express deep gratitude and reverence for the crucifixion, which is seen as the ultimate act of love and redemption. The song opens with a declaration of love for Jesus because of the cross and the immense cost He bore. The phrase 'Hombre de dolor que me dio la paz' (Man of sorrows who gave me peace) encapsulates the central theme of the song: the suffering of Jesus bringing peace to humanity.

The lyrics continue to reflect on the sacrificial nature of Jesus' death. 'Vino al mundo en perdición, nuestra deuda el pagó' (He came to a world in perdition, He paid our debt) highlights the belief that Jesus' crucifixion was a redemptive act, paying the debt of sin for humanity. The imagery of being brought home by His blood ('Con tu sangre me trajiste al hogar') signifies a return to spiritual safety and belonging. The chorus emphasizes the personal impact of this sacrifice, expressing amazement and love for what Jesus endured for humanity's sake.

The song also touches on the transformative power of Jesus' suffering. Lines like 'Cuando tú fuiste quebrantado, castigado libre fui' (When you were broken, punished, I was set free) and 'Y cuando tú fuiste rechazado y herido, sano fui' (And when you were rejected and wounded, I was healed) illustrate the belief that Jesus' pain and rejection brought freedom and healing to believers. The final verses reaffirm Jesus as a faithful friend whose goodness is endless, and whose precious blood has bought salvation. The 'mystery of the cross' is acknowledged, recognizing the profound and incomprehensible nature of this divine act of love and sacrifice.
