Salmo 23 (feat. Alex Campos y Kelly Spyker)
Un Corazón
Eternal Comfort and Divine Guidance in 'Salmo 23'
Un Corazón's song 'Salmo 23,' featuring Alex Campos and Kelly Spyker, is a modern musical interpretation of the well-known Psalm 23 from the Bible. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of spiritual fulfillment and reliance on divine guidance. The opening lines, 'Tengo todo, eres todo lo que necesito,' set the tone for the song, emphasizing that the presence of God is all-encompassing and sufficient for the believer. This sentiment is reinforced through the imagery of being led to a place of rest and having one's strength renewed, which mirrors the pastoral scenes of Psalm 23 where the Lord is depicted as a shepherd leading his flock to green pastures and still waters.
The recurring theme of God's 'inagotable' (inexhaustible) love and 'bondad' (goodness) that pursues the believer is central to the song. This pursuit is mutual, as the lyrics state, 'te persigo' (I pursue you), highlighting a reciprocal relationship between the divine and the faithful. The metaphor of being given a place at God's table and being received into His house 'para siempre' (forever) evokes a sense of eternal belonging and acceptance, which is a comforting promise for those who feel lost or weary.
The song also addresses the fears and challenges of life, particularly in the lines, 'Y aunque pase por el valle de la sombra y muerte, ya no temo, yo confío, Tú estás conmigo.' This directly references the 'valley of the shadow of death' from Psalm 23, reassuring listeners that God's presence dispels fear and instills trust. The lyrics further emphasize God's unwavering commitment to His followers, stating that He seeks out the lost and never gives up on them. The song concludes with a powerful declaration of God's eternal sovereignty and the hope found in Christ alone, encapsulating the essence of faith, hope, and divine love.
