Tu Diestra Me A Sostenido

Marcos Witt's song 'Tu Diestra Me A Sostenido' is a profound expression of faith and reliance on divine support. The lyrics convey a deep sense of spiritual yearning and commitment, which is characteristic of Witt's musical style, often centered around themes of worship and praise within the Christian faith.

The song begins with the narrator seeking God early in the morning, symbolizing a dedicated and earnest pursuit of spiritual connection. This imagery of seeking God 'de madrugada' (at dawn) emphasizes the theme of devotion and the importance of prioritizing one's relationship with the divine. The lyrics 'Mi alma te anhela y tiene sed' (My soul longs for you and is thirsty) further illustrate this deep spiritual longing and the soul's desire to experience God's glory and power.

The chorus highlights the sustaining power of God's 'right hand' (tu diestra), a biblical symbol of strength and salvation. Witt's use of this metaphor speaks to the comfort and security found in faith, especially during times of uncertainty or darkness, as suggested by 'en las sombras de tus alas' (in the shadow of your wings). The repetition of 'tu diestra me ha sostenido' (your right hand has sustained me) serves as a powerful affirmation of ongoing divine support and personal faith.
