Empieza En Mí

“Empieza En Mí” by Jonathan y Sarah Jerez is a deeply spiritual song that explores themes of personal transformation, faith, and the desire for divine presence. The lyrics are a heartfelt plea for guidance and change, asking for the strength to live a life that reflects the teachings and image of Jesus Christ. The song begins with a request to learn how to die to oneself in order to truly live in Christ, emphasizing the Christian concept of self-sacrifice and rebirth in faith.

The chorus, “Que tu reino venga, sea tu voluntad, en la tierra y en mi ser,” translates to “Let your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth and in my being.” This line echoes the Lord’s Prayer, highlighting the desire for God’s kingdom to manifest not only in the world but also within the individual. The repetition of “Empieza en mí” or “Start in me” underscores the personal commitment to be the starting point for this divine transformation, suggesting that change in the world begins with change within oneself.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of learning and growth. The lyrics ask to be taught how to love, forget the past, live by faith, and obey God’s will, even when it is challenging. This reflects a journey of spiritual maturation and the continuous effort to align one’s life with divine principles. The song concludes with a hopeful anticipation of seeing God’s face and becoming more like Jesus, encapsulating the ultimate goal of the Christian faith: to be united with God and transformed into His likeness.
