Al Dios Altisimo

In 'Al Dios Altisimo,' New Wine crafts a powerful hymn of reverence and surrender to the Almighty. The song opens with a rhetorical question, 'A quien te compararemos,' which translates to 'To whom will we compare you?' This sets the tone for the entire piece, emphasizing the unparalleled nature of God. The lyrics highlight God's omnipotence and eternal presence, describing Him as the 'único inmortal' (the only immortal) and 'único soberano' (the only sovereign). These lines underscore the belief in God's supreme authority and eternal existence, contrasting Him with man-made idols that 'nunca gobiernan ni hablan' (never govern nor speak).

The recurring plea, 'Venga tu reino' (Your kingdom come), is a direct reference to the Lord's Prayer, reflecting a deep desire for God's will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. This repetition serves as both a prayer and a declaration, inviting divine governance over human affairs. The song's chorus reinforces this theme, expressing a longing for God's kingdom to manifest 'sobre el reino de los hombres' (over the kingdom of men), signifying a hope for divine intervention and guidance in worldly matters.

The personal element of the song is evident in lines like 'Tengo sed de reconocerte' (I thirst to recognize you) and 'Tu presencia es un deleite' (Your presence is a delight). These expressions of personal devotion and joy in God's presence add an intimate layer to the song, making it not just a communal hymn but also a personal prayer. The voluntary praise, 'Te alabo voluntariamente,' highlights the willing and joyful nature of worship, emphasizing that true reverence comes from the heart.

'New Wine,' known for their contemporary Christian music, blends traditional worship themes with modern musical elements, creating a bridge between ancient faith and contemporary expression. 'Al Dios Altisimo' is a testament to their ability to convey deep spiritual truths through accessible and emotionally resonant music.
