Di a La Montana

Paul Wilbur's song 'Di a La Montana' is a powerful anthem of faith and perseverance. The lyrics, sung in Spanish, convey a message of unwavering belief in God's promises and the strength that comes from such faith. The central metaphor of the song is the mountain, which represents obstacles and challenges in life. By declaring to the mountain to move and be cast into the sea, the singer emphasizes the power of faith to overcome seemingly insurmountable difficulties. This imagery is deeply rooted in biblical references, particularly from the New Testament, where Jesus speaks about faith moving mountains.

The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that belief in God can bring about real change. The lines 'Creo yo que las cosas, que asi declaré //pasarán si yo creo en dios//' (I believe that the things I declare will happen if I believe in God) highlight the importance of spoken faith and the conviction that God's promises are true. This theme is further emphasized in the verses that speak of walking before the Lord even when one cannot see the way forward, underscoring the notion that faith is not dependent on visible evidence but on trust in God's eternal faithfulness.

The song also touches on the transient nature of life's challenges, describing them as 'solo temporal' (only temporary). This perspective encourages listeners to hold on to their declarations of faith and not waver, as God's faithfulness is everlasting. The repeated affirmation that 'Él fiel por siempre es' (He is faithful forever) serves as a comforting reminder of God's unchanging nature and His commitment to His promises. Paul Wilbur's musical style, which often blends contemporary worship with traditional Jewish melodies, adds a rich, cultural layer to the song, making it a resonant piece for diverse audiences seeking spiritual encouragement.
