Alzaré Mis Ojos

“Alzaré Mis Ojos” by Grupo Afroson is a deeply spiritual song that draws its inspiration from Psalm 121 in the Bible. The lyrics express a profound sense of faith and reliance on divine protection. The repeated phrase “Alzaré mis ojos a los montes” (I will lift my eyes to the mountains) signifies looking up to a higher power for help and guidance. This imagery of mountains often symbolizes strength, stability, and the presence of God in many religious texts.

The song emphasizes that help and support come from God, specifically Jehovah, who is described as the creator of heaven and earth. This reinforces the idea that the divine is omnipotent and omnipresent, capable of providing assistance in times of need. The lyrics “No dará tu pie al resbaladero” (He will not let your foot slip) and “Ni se dormirá el que te guarda” (He who watches over you will not slumber) further highlight the protective nature of God, assuring the listener that they are under constant divine watch and care.

In the latter part of the song, the focus shifts to praising God with one's entire being. The lines “Alabale con las manos, Alabale con los pies, Alabale con el alma y con todo tu ser” (Praise Him with your hands, Praise Him with your feet, Praise Him with your soul and with all your being) encourage a holistic form of worship. This call to praise reflects a deep sense of gratitude and reverence, suggesting that true worship involves every aspect of one's life and being.

The song’s blend of spiritual themes with Afro-Latin musical elements creates a powerful and uplifting experience, resonating with listeners who seek comfort and strength through their faith.
