El verbo se hizo carne

Marcos Vidal's song "El verbo se hizo carne" delves into the essence of Christian faith, contrasting the genuine humility of Jesus with the often misguided ambitions of modern believers. The lyrics begin by highlighting the grand enterprises undertaken in the name of Jesus, where new Christian heroes emerge, and everything is meticulously planned for maximum impact. However, Vidal points out the contradiction in serving the Master while being betrayed by one's own heart, falling into the trap of the Tower of Babel, and forgetting one's faith amidst abundance.

The chorus, "Que el verbo se hizo carne, descendió de la luz," emphasizes the core Christian belief that the Word became flesh and descended from the light. Jesus's path was one of humility and sacrifice, giving up his youth for humanity. Vidal questions how many can withstand the gaze of Jesus, symbolized by the memory of the cross, a powerful reminder of true sacrifice and humility.

In the second verse, Vidal critiques the allure of lights, emotional impact, mass responses, and personal charisma, which often overshadow the pure and true essence of faith hidden in a corner. He expresses a preference for being closer to those in need, crying with those who cry, and offering them the truth. Vidal advocates for learning to be Christians in the warmth of one's home and having friends who help remember the true path of faith. The song's repetition of the chorus reinforces the message that true faith lies in humility, sacrifice, and remembering the cross.
