Somos

Rene Gonzalez's song 'Somos' is a powerful anthem that emphasizes unity, strength, and purpose within the Christian faith. The lyrics call for collective action and perseverance, urging believers to march and fight together, drawing strength from their unity. The repeated phrase 'en la unión está la fuerza' (in unity there is strength) underscores the importance of solidarity in achieving their spiritual goals. This message is particularly resonant in the context of a community facing challenges, where mutual support and shared purpose are crucial.

The song also highlights the identity and mission of believers. Describing them as 'la sal de la tierra' (the salt of the earth), 'real sacerdocio' (royal priesthood), and 'linaje escogido' (chosen lineage), Gonzalez draws from biblical metaphors to convey a sense of divine selection and responsibility. These metaphors suggest that believers are meant to preserve, purify, and lead by example in a world that is often depicted as thirsty and dark. The imagery of 'pequeñas cisternas llenas de agua viva' (small cisterns filled with living water) and 'pequeñas lumbreras' (small lights) further illustrates their role in providing spiritual nourishment and guidance.

The recurring theme of being 'más que vencedores en Jesús' (more than conquerors in Jesus) reinforces the idea of divine empowerment. Gonzalez reassures listeners that they have been given the power and authority to overcome obstacles, with Jesus training their hands for battle. This empowerment is not just for personal victory but for the collective mission of spreading the message of salvation. The song's call to 'cantemos juntos' (let's sing together) serves as a unifying and uplifting conclusion, inviting all to join in this shared journey of faith and purpose.
