Embracing Faith and Surrender: An Analysis of Hillsong United's 'Tómalo'

Hillsong United is a worship band that originated from Hillsong Church in Australia. Known for their contemporary Christian music, they often focus on themes of faith, worship, and devotion to God. 'Tómalo,' which translates to 'Take It' in English, is a song that encapsulates the essence of surrendering one's life to God and the salvation found in Jesus Christ.

The lyrics of 'Tómalo' speak to the transformative power of faith and the act of coming to God for liberation. The opening lines, 'De todo lugar los perdidos vendrán / En libertad a Ti clamarán,' suggest that people from all walks of life, who are lost, will come to find freedom through calling upon God. This is a common theme in Christian belief, emphasizing the idea that regardless of one's past, they can find redemption. The mention of the cross, 'Llevaste la cruz moriste y vivo estas,' refers to the crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection, which is central to Christian theology as the ultimate sacrifice for humanity's sins.

The chorus, with its repeated lines 'Tóma, Tómalo,' is a declaration of giving oneself entirely to God. It's an expression of worship and commitment, indicating that the singer is not ashamed to live for Jesus ('De Ti nunca me avergonzaré') and is willing to give everything they are to God. The song also acknowledges Jesus as a miracle worker and a light in the darkness ('Eres el que vista al ciego das / Brillas en la oscuridad'), reinforcing the belief in Jesus as the savior of the world. Overall, 'Tómalo' is a song of dedication and praise, inviting listeners to embrace their faith fully and trust in the salvation offered by Jesus.
