A La Casa de Jairo

The song 'A La Casa de Jairo' by Johana Galdamez is a narrative piece that recounts a biblical story from the Christian Gospels, specifically the healing of a woman with a bleeding disorder and the raising of Jairus' daughter. The lyrics describe the journey of Jesus to the house of Jairus, a synagogue leader, while a large crowd follows him. Amidst the crowd, a woman with strong faith believes that if she could just touch Jesus' garment, she would be healed. The song emphasizes the power of faith and the miracles that can occur when one truly believes.

The chorus, 'Haz tu cual la mujer que fue y toco,' which translates to 'Do as the woman who went and touched,' serves as a call to action, encouraging listeners to emulate the woman's faith and reach out to Jesus for their own healing. The song suggests that the same power that healed the woman is available to all who have faith. The narrative also touches on the mixed reactions of the people in the crowd, with some believing in Jesus and others being hostile, a situation that the song implies still exists today.

The personal confession in the lyrics, 'Yo fui quien te toco mi buen Jesús,' or 'I was the one who touched you, my good Jesus,' indicates a personal connection to the story and a testament to the transformative power of faith. The song is not just a retelling of a biblical event but also a testimony and an invitation for personal reflection on the nature of faith and the search for spiritual healing.
