Medley Coritos Pentecostales

The song 'Medley Coritos Pentecostales' by UPPERROOM is a vibrant and spirited expression of Pentecostal faith and worship. The lyrics are a medley of various 'coritos,' which are short, lively, and repetitive songs commonly sung in Latin American Pentecostal churches. These coritos are designed to be easy to learn and sing, often becoming a collective chant that unifies the congregation in praise and worship.

The repeated lines about the fire falling on the 120 references the biblical event of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ, as described in the Book of Acts. The number 120 signifies those present during this event. The song celebrates the transformative power of this spiritual fire, which is said to make one 'pentecostal from head to toe,' symbolizing a complete and total dedication to the Pentecostal faith and experience.

The song also includes references to biblical stories, such as the walls of Jericho falling after the Israelites circled them seven times and the prophet Elijah calling down fire from heaven on Mount Carmel. These stories are used metaphorically to describe the power of God manifesting in the lives of believers. The lyrics encourage worshippers to forget their problems and praise God with hands and voice, promising that the power of God will touch them. The song ends with affirmations of joy, life, and the journey to heaven, reinforcing the Pentecostal belief in the joyous life transformation through Jesus Christ.
