Esto Que Soy, Eso Te Doy

Embracing Divine Love: A Humble Offering
The song 'Esto Que Soy, Eso Te Doy' by Misa is a heartfelt expression of devotion and humility. The lyrics delve into the profound mystery of divine love and the human response to it. The opening lines reflect a sense of wonder and gratitude, questioning why one is chosen by the divine and receiving the simple yet profound answer, 'because I want to.' This exchange highlights the unconditional nature of divine love, which accepts individuals as they are, with all their imperfections and strengths.
The song emphasizes the idea that life itself is a treasure and a gift from the divine. It speaks to the act of offering oneself wholly, with all one's love, to the divine. The repeated question, 'What will I give you? What will we give you?' underscores the realization that everything one has is already a gift from the divine. Therefore, the most genuine offering one can make is simply to give back what one is – 'Esto que soy, eso te doy' (This is what I am, this is what I give you).
Misa's lyrics also touch on the communal aspect of this offering. The song mentions the humble life, daily work, faith, dreams, and the people in one's life as part of the offering. It paints a vivid picture of a Sunday gathering, where the collective lives and stories of people are seen as a giant embrace received by the divine. The imagery of wine and bread on the altar symbolizes life and the mystery of offering and receiving, reflecting the Christian belief in the divinization of humanity through Christ. The song beautifully encapsulates the essence of humility, gratitude, and the profound connection between the divine and human experience.
