Cristo Es Necesario

Danny Gokey's song "Cristo Es Necesario" delves into the profound need for Christ in a broken world. The lyrics highlight the human tendency to judge and hurt each other without fully understanding one another. This behavior is depicted as a symptom of a fallen world, one that deviates from how things were meant to be. Gokey suggests that if people could see each other differently, it would transform their lives, emphasizing the importance of empathy and understanding.

The chorus underscores the idea that everyone is broken and in need of Christ's presence every day, all day long. The repetition of "Cristo es necesario" (Christ is necessary) and the phrase "twenty-four, three six five" (24/7) reinforces the constant and universal need for Christ's guidance and forgiveness. The song acknowledges human weaknesses and mistakes, stressing that Christ's forgiveness is essential for healing and redemption.

Gokey extends this message to all people, regardless of their social or economic status. From the poor to the rich, from prisoners to preachers, everyone needs Christ. This inclusivity highlights the universal nature of the need for spiritual salvation and redemption. The song concludes with a powerful call for everyone in the world to recognize their need for Jesus, making it a heartfelt plea for unity and spiritual awakening across all nations and communities.
