Bethany Wohrle - Mi Esperanza Esta en Jesus Lyrics
Lyrics
Verso 1
Cuan grande abismo entre nosotros
Cuan alto monte falle escalar
Con desespero volvi al cielo
Y en la noche te hice llamar
Alli en lo oscuro tu amor profundo
Cruzo la sombra y me alcanzo
Ya es consumado y el fin escrito
Mi esperanza esta en Jesus
Verso 2
Quien imagina piedad tan grande
Tan plena gracia al corazon
El Dios eterno dejo Su gloria
De mi pecado El se vistio
La cruz ha hablado, soy perdonado
El Rey de Reyes me adopto
Senor hermoso te pertenezco
Mi esperanza esta en Jesus
Coro
O Aleluya, sea al que me liberto
Aleluya, de la muerte me arranco
Las cadenas quebranto
Y en Su nombre hay salvacion
Mi esperanza esta en Jesus
Verso 3
Y tus promesas fueron selladas
Cuando tu cuerpo resucito
Desde el silencio Tu gran rugido
Quebro el poder de la muerte en mi
Y tus promesas fueron selladas
Cuando tu cuerpo resucito
Desde el silencio Tu gran rugido
Quebro el poder de la muerte en mi
La victoria esta en Ti
Coro
O Aleluya, sea al que me liberto
Aleluya, de la muerte me arranco
Las cadenas quebranto
Y en Su nombre hay salvacion
Mi esperanza esta en Jesus
O Aleluya, sea al que me liberto
Aleluya, de la muerte me arranco
Las cadenas quebranto
Y en Su nombre hay salvacion
Mi esperanza esta en Jesus
Mi esperanza esta en Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
"Mi Esperanza Está en Jesús," by Bethany Wohrle, a Spanish rendition of a powerful worship anthem, arrived in 2019, and its enduring impact lies in its profound theological depth and unwavering declaration of faith. This song isn't just a melody; it's a beautifully crafted testament to the transformative power of Christ, born from a deep understanding of the human condition and God's boundless grace. The narrative woven throughout the lyrics speaks to a profound sense of separation from the divine, symbolized by the "great abyss" and the insurmountable "high mountain" that one struggles to scale. It captures the desperation of a soul reaching out in the darkness, a universal plea for connection and redemption. This sentiment resonates with verses like Isaiah 59:2, which states that our iniquities separate us from God, and Psalm 42:1, which describes the soul's longing for God like a deer longs for water. Yet, the song masterfully pivots, revealing that in that very darkness, God's "deep love" transcends the shadows and reaches us, a concept echoed in John 1:5, where light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.
The core of the song's message lies in the unfathomable grace and mercy offered by God. Wohrle articulates this by highlighting the extraordinary act of the eternal God leaving His glory to be clothed in our sin, a direct allusion to Philippians 2:6-8, which describes Christ humbling Himself to become human and die on the cross. The declaration, "The cross has spoken, I am forgiven," is a cornerstone of Christian belief, underscoring the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, as stated in Romans 3:24-25: "being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by his blood." The empowerment of being adopted as a child of the King of Kings, as proclaimed in the lyrics, aligns with Galatians 4:4-7, which speaks of God sending His Son to redeem those under the law so that we might receive adoption as sons. The recurring refrain, "My hope is in Jesus," is not merely a statement of comfort but a foundational truth, a declaration of where ultimate trust and security are found, mirroring the conviction of Psalm 39:7: "And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you."
The chorus, with its fervent "Hallelujah," serves as a jubilant proclamation of liberation. It celebrates the One who has set us free and snatched us from the clutches of death, a powerful testament to Christ's victory over the grave. This echoes the triumph described in 1 Corinthians 15:55, "O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?" The breaking of chains and the salvation found in His name are central to the Gospel message, as spoken by Peter in Acts 4:12: "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Verse three delves into the sealing of God's promises through the resurrection, a pivotal event that shattered the power of death. The "great roar from the silence" signifies the life-giving power that emerged from Christ's tomb, effectively breaking death's hold, as reflected in Romans 6:4: "We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." The affirmation that "Victory is in You" solidifies the complete triumph of Christ, making this song a profound and inspiring worship experience that continually points us to the source of our enduring hope.
