Quien Dices Que Soy

The song 'Quien Dices Que Soy' by Hillsong en Español is a worship ballad that delves into themes of identity, redemption, and divine love. The lyrics express a profound sense of gratitude and awe for the acceptance and love that God provides, despite human imperfections and sins. The title, which translates to 'Who You Say I Am,' reflects the central message of the song: the identity of the believer as defined by God's perspective, rather than their own or that of the world around them.

The song begins by questioning the worthiness of the individual, acknowledging the disparity between human frailty and the greatness of a king, in this case, a reference to God. The singer recognizes their past state of 'perdición' (lostness or ruin) and marvels at the unconditional love that has been extended to them. This love is what sets them free, a recurring theme in the chorus that emphasizes liberation through faith and the grace of God. The phrase 'Soy hijo de Dios' (I am a child of God) is a declaration of the new identity bestowed upon the believer, one that comes with the freedom and assurance of being part of God's family.

The latter part of the song reinforces the idea of being chosen and forgiven, highlighting the personal relationship between the believer and God. The presence of God walking alongside the individual offers comfort and affirmation. The repetition of 'Yo soy quien dices que soy' (I am who you say I am) serves as a powerful reminder that one's identity is not based on personal achievements or failures but on who God declares them to be. This song is a celebration of spiritual rebirth and the transformative power of divine grace.
