Tu Amor Es Alto

New Wine's song 'Tu Amor Es Alto' is a powerful expression of Christian worship that delves into the themes of redemption, sacrifice, and the incomprehensible nature of Jesus's love for humanity. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of awe and gratitude for the sacrifices made by Jesus, as understood in Christian theology, particularly focusing on the crucifixion. The song's title, which translates to 'Your Love Is High,' metaphorically speaks to the vastness and immeasurable quality of divine love.

The verses of 'Tu Amor Es Alto' recount the Christian narrative of Jesus's crucifixion, emphasizing the personal nature of this sacrifice for the singer and, by extension, for all believers. The lyrics express bewilderment at the idea that Jesus, knowing the flaws and sins of humanity, would still choose to give his life. This act of ultimate love is described as 'sobrenatural,' or supernatural, highlighting its extraordinary and miraculous nature. The repetition of the lines 'Diste tu sangre por mí' ('You gave your blood for me') and 'Diste tu vida por mí' ('You gave your life for me') serves to reinforce the magnitude of this sacrifice.

The chorus and bridge of the song use spatial dimensions—high, deep, and wide—to describe the love of Jesus, suggesting that it transcends human understanding and physical boundaries. The song's bridge also includes a vivid depiction of the physical suffering endured by Jesus, with the lyrics suggesting that even in the midst of this pain, Jesus was thinking of those he was dying to save. New Wine, known for their contemporary Christian music, often incorporates such vivid imagery and emotional depth in their songs to inspire worship and reflection among listeners. 'Tu Amor Es Alto' is a testament to their ability to create music that resonates with the core beliefs of their faith community.
