Cantico Nuevo
Fernel Monroy
Praising the Almighty Through Song
The song "Cantico Nuevo" by Fernel Monroy is a piece of Christian worship music that focuses on praising God through the act of singing a new song to Him. The lyrics are simple yet profound, reflecting a deep sense of reverence and adoration for the divine. The phrase 'Cantico nuevo' translates to 'new song' in English, and it is a concept that is often found in the Bible, particularly in the Psalms, where the faithful are called to sing new songs to the Lord as an expression of their love and gratitude for His greatness and strength.
The repetition of phrases such as 'Y dire que El es grande, porque El es grande, Cantare que El es fuerte, Porque si lo es,' which translates to 'And I will say that He is great, because He is great, I will sing that He is strong, because He is,' emphasizes the qualities of God that the worshipper is praising. This repetition serves to both affirm the singer's beliefs and to invite the listener to join in the worship. The song's structure, with its call-and-response format, is typical of many worship songs, creating a communal atmosphere of praise.
Fernel Monroy's musical style is characterized by its focus on traditional Christian themes, often incorporating elements of Latin American music. "Cantico Nuevo" is a reflection of Monroy's dedication to creating music that encourages believers to express their faith openly and joyfully. The song's message is clear: God is deserving of new, heartfelt expressions of worship because of His enduring greatness and strength. It's a call to continually renew one's approach to worship and to find fresh ways to honor God.
