Maverick City Music
A Worshipful Ode to the King of Kings
The song "Digno Eres Tú" by Maverick City Music is a contemporary Christian worship song that exalts Jesus Christ, celebrating His worthiness and the fulfillment of the promise of salvation through His birth. The lyrics are in Spanish, and the title translates to "Worthy Are You," reflecting the central theme of the song, which is the worship and adoration of Jesus.
The opening lines reference the biblical account of the shepherds and wise men (magi) who visited Jesus after His birth to worship Him. This scene sets the stage for the song's message, which is about recognizing the divinity and majesty of Jesus. The repeated phrase "Digno eres Tú" emphasizes the worthiness of Jesus to receive honor and praise. The mention of Jesus as the promised one, whose name is Jesus, underlines the Christian belief in the messianic prophecy being fulfilled in Him.
The song also includes phrases like "Gloria en lo alto y al mundo paz" (Glory in the highest and peace to the world) and "Reinas en los cielos" (You reign in the heavens), which further acknowledge the sovereignty and divine peace brought by Jesus. The use of both Spanish and English in the song, particularly in the phrase "Be glorified," invites a wider audience to join in the worship and glorification of Jesus. Overall, "Digno Eres Tú" is a declaration of faith and devotion, inviting listeners to reflect on the significance of Jesus' birth and His eternal kingship.
