En Alta Esfera

“En Alta Esfera” by Evan Craft is a song that exudes a sense of divine celebration and reverence. The lyrics are a call to worship, echoing the celestial voices that sing praises to God. The song opens with a declaration of glory to God in the highest heavens and peace on earth to humanity, a theme that resonates with the biblical account of the angels announcing the birth of Jesus to the shepherds. This sets the tone for the entire song, which is a blend of adoration and acknowledgment of God's greatness.

The song continues by inviting everyone to join in the heavenly praise, emphasizing the eternal kingship of Jesus. The reference to the “coro de Belén” (choir of Bethlehem) ties the song to the nativity story, reinforcing the idea of Jesus as the savior who came to earth. The repetition of “¡En los cielos gloria a Dios!” (Glory to God in the highest heavens) serves as a powerful refrain, reminding listeners of the divine presence and the importance of worship.

Evan Craft’s musical style, known for its contemporary Christian influence, blends seamlessly with the traditional themes of the song. The lyrics also highlight the incarnation of Jesus, referring to Him as the “Verbo encarnado” (incarnate Word) and “Emmanuel” (God with us). This theological depth adds layers of meaning, celebrating not just the birth of Jesus but His role in salvation. The repeated exclamations of “¡Gloria a Dios!” (Glory to God) create a sense of communal worship, inviting both heaven and earth to join in the celebration of God's glory.
