Santo Es El Que Vive

Monte Santo's song "Santo Es El Que Vive" is a powerful and reverent hymn that exalts the holiness and eternal reign of Jesus Christ. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize the sanctity of Jesus, both in His earthly life and His divine nature. The song opens with a declaration of Jesus' holiness, recognizing Him as holy in the highest heavens and here on earth, from His humble birth in a manger to His sacrificial death and resurrection. This repetition underscores the omnipresence and eternal nature of His holiness.

The song also delves into the profound sacrifice of Jesus, highlighting His willing submission to crucifixion out of immense love for humanity. The lines "A él no lo mataron, se entregó primero" (He was not killed, He gave Himself first) and "De tal manera amó Jesús, que entregó su vida en la cruz" (In such a way Jesus loved, that He gave His life on the cross) reflect the depth of His love and the significance of His sacrifice. This portrayal of Jesus as a willing and loving savior adds a deeply emotional and personal dimension to the song, inviting listeners to reflect on the magnitude of His love and sacrifice.

The song also looks forward to the future, proclaiming the return of Jesus as a triumphant king. The repeated refrain "Todos lo verán, como un rey en las nubes volverá" (Everyone will see Him, as a king He will return in the clouds) speaks of the anticipated second coming of Christ, where He will reign with power and authority. This eschatological theme provides a sense of hope and anticipation, encouraging believers to look forward to the fulfillment of divine promises.

The song concludes with a call to worship, urging listeners to join in the heavenly chorus that sings of Jesus' holiness. The repeated chants of "Santo, Santo, Santo" (Holy, Holy, Holy) serve as a powerful reminder of the reverence due to Jesus, inviting all to acknowledge and celebrate His sacredness. This communal aspect of worship, combined with the personal reflection on Jesus' sacrifice and the hopeful anticipation of His return, makes "Santo Es El Que Vive" a deeply moving and spiritually enriching hymn.
