Sobre Todo

The song 'Sobre Todo' by Forgiven is a profound reflection on the ultimate sacrifice made by Jesus Christ. The lyrics emphasize the supremacy and preeminence of Jesus over all creation, kingdoms, and earthly treasures. The repeated phrase 'Sobre la fuerza de todo rey' (Above the strength of every king) underscores His unparalleled power and wisdom, which existed even before the creation of the world. This sets the stage for the central theme of the song: the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ.

The chorus poignantly highlights the crucifixion, where Jesus, the Son of the great King, chose to die on the cross. This act of selflessness is portrayed as giving the singer a reason to live, emphasizing the personal and transformative impact of Jesus' sacrifice. The lyrics 'Moriste así, pensando en mi, más que en ti' (You died like this, thinking of me, more than yourself) capture the essence of this sacrificial love, suggesting that Jesus' thoughts were centered on humanity rather than His own suffering.

The song also touches on the idea of Jesus' omnipotence and the wonders He has created, which remain undiscovered. This further elevates the sense of awe and reverence towards Him. By juxtaposing His divine nature with His human suffering, 'Sobre Todo' invites listeners to reflect on the magnitude of Jesus' love and the profound implications it has for their lives. The song is a powerful reminder of the depth of divine love and the ultimate sacrifice made for humanity's redemption.
