En El Altar

The song 'En El Altar' by Planetshakers is a powerful expression of devotion and surrender to a higher spiritual power. The lyrics convey a deep sense of commitment and the desire for transformation through divine intervention. The title itself, 'En El Altar,' which translates to 'On the Altar,' sets the tone for a song about offering oneself up to God, much like a sacrifice or gift laid upon an altar in a religious context.

The repeated lines 'No me alejare de ti' which means 'I will not stray from you,' emphasize the singer's dedication to staying close to God. The song speaks to the idea of giving everything to God, symbolized by the fire that the singer asks to burn within them. This fire is a metaphor for the Holy Spirit or divine presence that the singer wishes to be filled with, to be guided and transformed by. The act of surrendering 'todo lo rindo' or 'everything I surrender' at the altar signifies a total submission to God's will and a desire for spiritual renewal.

The song's bridge, with its invocation of fire to awaken passion and the Holy Spirit to fill the singer's being, further underscores the theme of spiritual revival. The repetition of 'Todo te lo doy,' meaning 'I give you everything,' reinforces the message of complete surrender and the longing for a deeper connection with the divine. Planetshakers, known for their contemporary worship music, encapsulates the essence of modern Christian devotion in 'En El Altar,' offering listeners a means to express their own yearning for spiritual intimacy and transformation.
