Para Mi Amado

The song 'Para Mi Amado' by New Wine is a deeply spiritual and worshipful piece that expresses the Christian anticipation of Jesus Christ's return. The lyrics are imbued with the metaphor of a bride waiting for her groom, which is a common biblical allegory found in the New Testament, particularly in the Book of Revelation, where the Church is described as the Bride of Christ.

The song begins with an intimate address to Jesus, expressing a sense of longing and readiness for His coming. The reference to 'Es media noche' (It's midnight) and the arrival of the one who loves the singer's heart is reminiscent of the Parable of the Ten Virgins in the Bible, where the virgins await the bridegroom with their lamps filled with oil. This oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit, and the readiness of the lamp signifies spiritual preparedness for Christ's return. The chorus, with its repeated calls for Jesus to 'Ven' (Come), reflects the desire for divine union and the fulfillment of Christian eschatological hope.

The latter part of the song speaks of being dressed in linen for the awaited day, which symbolizes purity and righteousness. The imagery of being presented to the Father as a spotless bride conveys the idea of sanctification and redemption. The repetition of 'No hemos visto, Ni hemos oído' (We have not seen, nor heard) emphasizes the belief that what God has prepared for believers is beyond human comprehension, echoing the Apostle Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 2:9. The song ends with a reaffirmation of faith and the worthiness of the wait for the heavenly reunion.
