Aquella Cruz

The song 'Aquella Cruz' by Hillsong en Español is a profound expression of Christian faith, focusing on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the redemption it offers to believers. The lyrics describe the suffering and betrayal of Christ, referred to as 'El Cordero' (The Lamb), a biblical metaphor for Jesus as the sacrificial lamb who takes away the sins of the world. The weight of humanity's wrongdoing is said to have been placed upon him, emphasizing the belief in Christ's atonement for sin.

The chorus, 'En aquella cruz, me salvaste' (On that cross, you saved me), is a declaration of personal salvation through Christ's crucifixion, where his love was poured out. The song is a worshipful acknowledgment of the grace and forgiveness that the singer, and by extension the listener, believes they have received. The repeated hallelujahs and the line 'Gloria y honra a Ti, Señor' (Glory and honor to you, Lord) are expressions of praise and gratitude for the victory over sin and death that Jesus' resurrection represents.

The song also touches on themes of liberation and transformation, as it states that sin can no longer bind the believer, who is now 'free in truth.' This freedom is attributed to the forgiveness granted through Jesus' sacrifice. The mention of the empty tomb and the proclamation that 'Jesús resucitó' (Jesus has risen) serves as a reminder of the hope and eternal life that is central to Christian belief. 'Aquella Cruz' is a musical testament to the core tenets of Christianity, encapsulating the message of Easter and the promise of new life through Christ.
