Alabaré Al Señor
Hillsong Worship
A Hymn of Resurrection and Worship
The song "Alabaré Al Señor" by Hillsong Worship is a devotional piece that reflects the Christian faith's core narrative of Jesus Christ's crucifixion, death, and resurrection. The lyrics recount the events of the Passion, where Jesus is described as suffering and dying on the cross, a sacrifice made for humanity. The vivid imagery of Jesus' wounds and his time in the tomb emphasizes the gravity of his sacrifice and the depth of sorrow that accompanied his death.
The chorus, which translates to 'I will praise the Lord, my God,' is a declaration of worship and a commitment to proclaim God's name eternally. This act of praise is rooted in the Christian belief in Jesus' resurrection, as the song joyfully proclaims the defeat of death and the triumph of Christ rising from the dead. The mention of the 'third dawn' and the 'great noise' heard is a direct reference to the biblical account of the resurrection, which is central to Christian theology and the reason for worship.
Looking forward to the eschatological hope, the song also touches on the Second Coming of Christ, a time when believers expect to see Jesus face to face. This anticipation of Christ's return and the eternal presence with God is a source of comfort and joy for Christians, which is reflected in the repeated commitment to praise throughout the song. The song, therefore, serves as both a recounting of the Christian salvation story and a personal expression of faith and worship by the believer.
