Humillate
Natanael y Giovanna
The Power of Humility in Faith
The song 'Humillate' by Natanael y Giovanna is a deeply spiritual and introspective piece that emphasizes the importance of humility and surrender in one's relationship with God. The lyrics call for a stripping away of external distractions and a focus on the internal, urging the listener to 'tumba las luces y los ornamentos' (turn off the lights and remove the ornaments) and 'limpia el altar' (clean the altar). This sets the stage for a personal and intimate encounter with the divine, free from superficialities.
The recurring theme of humility is central to the song. The lyrics repeatedly urge the listener to 'humíllate delante de aquel que te llamo' (humble yourself before the one who called you) and 'humíllate delante de aquel que te escogió' (humble yourself before the one who chose you). This act of humility is portrayed as a way to reconnect with God, who loves unconditionally and sees beyond human flaws. The song suggests that true spiritual growth and fulfillment come from acknowledging one's limitations and seeking a deeper, more genuine connection with the divine.
The song also touches on the idea of returning to one's 'primer amor' (first love) and emphasizes the importance of 'santidad' (holiness) and 'consagración' (consecration). This return to foundational spiritual principles is portrayed as essential for a meaningful relationship with God. The repeated calls to 'rasga tu corazón y no tus vestidos' (tear your heart and not your garments) highlight the need for internal transformation over external displays of piety. The song's powerful message is further amplified by its emotive delivery and the harmonious interplay between Natanael and Giovanna's voices, making it a compelling call to spiritual renewal and humility.
