Con El Cielo
Hillsong en Español
A Celestial Anthem of Holiness and Devotion
“Con El Cielo” by Hillsong en Español is a powerful worship song that exalts the holiness and greatness of God. The lyrics are a heartfelt declaration of God's incomparable nature and the grace that finds the worshiper in a state of humility. The repeated use of the word 'Santo' (Holy) emphasizes the reverence and awe the singer feels towards God, acknowledging His perfection and the worshiper's own imperfections. This contrast highlights the grace that allows the worshiper to offer their 'quebrantado corazón' (broken heart) to God, despite their flaws.
The song creates a vivid image of unity between heaven and earth, as both realms join in singing praises to God. The phrase 'Recibe el sonido, Cielo y Tierra unidos' (Receive the sound, Heaven and Earth united) suggests a cosmic harmony in worship, where all of creation acknowledges God's holiness. This unity is further emphasized by the call for a burning passion for Jesus to ignite within the worshiper's soul, indicating a deep, personal connection to the divine.

This song is no exception, as it combines emotive melodies with profound lyrical content to create an atmosphere of worship and adoration. The repetition of 'Santo es tu nombre, oh Dios' (Holy is your name, oh God) serves as a mantra, reinforcing the central theme of God's holiness and the worshiper's devotion. The song's structure, with its recurring choruses and bridges, invites listeners to join in the worship, making it a communal experience of exalting God's name.
