Él Siempre Reina
Sarai Rivera
Unwavering Faith in the Midst of Trials
The song "
El Siempre Reina" by Sarai Rivera is a powerful expression of faith and resilience in the face of adversity. The lyrics convey a personal journey of struggle, where pain and fear have attempted to take hold of the singer's life. The repeated questioning of 'why me?' reflects a common human response to suffering, especially when one feels they have devoted themselves to a higher power or cause.
The chorus, however, shifts the narrative from one of questioning to a declaration of trust and victory in faith. The phrase 'Él siempre reina' translates to 'He always reigns,' which is a proclamation of God's sovereignty and omnipotence. The singer acknowledges that despite doubts ('Aunque no crea'), God does not fail her ('él no me falla'). This is a testament to the belief that faith will lead to healing and an increase in spiritual strength ('Él sanará y aumentará la fe en mi alma').
The song also touches on the Christian concept that life is lived for Christ ('Mi vivir es Cristo'), and even in death, there is gain ('el morir, es aumento'). This reflects the biblical sentiment that to live is Christ and to die is gain, suggesting that the singer's faith provides meaning in life and hope in death. Overall, "Él Siempre Reina" is a song of unwavering faith that encourages listeners to hold onto their beliefs and trust in a higher power to overcome life's battles.
