Bethel Music - Mi Esperanza Está en Jesús Lyrics
Lyrics
Cuan grande abismo
Entre nosotros
Cuan alto monte
Vaya a escalar
Con desespero
Volví al cielo
Y en el almud
Te hice llamar
Allí en lo oscuro
Tu amor profundo
Cruzó las sombras
Y me alcanzó
Y haz consumado
El vino escrito
Mi esperanza está en Jesús
Quien imagina
Verdad tan grande
Dándole la gracia
Al corazón
El Dios eterno
Dejó su gloria
De mi pecado
Él se vistió
La Cruz ha hablado
Soy perdonado
El Rey de reyes
Me adoptó
Señor Hermoso
Te pertenezco
Mi esperanza está en Jesús
¡Oh Aleluya!
Sea a quien me libertó
Aleluya
De la muerte me arrancó
Las cadenas quebrantó
Y en su Nombre hay salvación
Mi esperanza está en Jesús
Y tus promesas
Fueron selladas
Cuando tu cuerpo resucitó
Desde el silencio
Tu gran rugido
Quebró el poder de la muerte en mi
Y tus promesas
Fueron selladas
Cuando tu cuerpo resucitó
Desde el silencio
Tu gran rugido
Quebró el poder de la muerte en mi
La victoria esta en Ti
¡Oh Aleluya!
Sea a quien me libertó
¡Aleluya!
De la muerte me arrancó
Las cadenas quebrantó
Y en su Nombre hay salvación
Mi esperanza está en Jesús
¡Oh Aleluya!
Sea a quien me libertó
¡Aleluya!
De la muerte me arrancó
Las cadenas quebrantó
Y en su Nombre hay salvación
Mi esperanza está en Jesús
Mi esperanza está en Jesús

Mi Esperanza Está en Jesús (Letra) - Bethel Music, Bethany Wohrle - En Español
Meaning & Inspiration
Bethel Music's "Mi Esperanza Está en Jesús," released on May 3, 2019, with Bethany Wohrle lending her voice to the Spanish rendition, stands as a profound declaration of unwavering faith in the resurrection and redemptive power of Jesus Christ. This song doesn't just offer comfort; it excavates the very foundations of Christian belief, reminding us of the immense chasm between our sinfulness and God's perfect love, a distance so vast it would be impossible to bridge without divine intervention. The lyrics artfully depict a soul in despair, crying out in darkness, only to be met by the overwhelming, persistent love of God that pierces through any shadow. It’s a testament to the grace that is "consummated" and the "written wine," pointing to the finished work of Christ on the cross, fulfilling prophecy and making our hope secure in Him.
The core message resonates deeply with the biblical narrative of God's ultimate act of love. The idea that the eternal God would lay aside His glory and clothe Himself in our sin is a concept that transcends human understanding, echoing truths found in Philippians 2:5-8, which speaks of Christ Jesus, who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And in appearance, he was found as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! This profound self-emptying is precisely what the song celebrates, emphasizing the transformation from despair to being adopted into God's family, as signified by the declaration, "La Cruz ha hablado; soy perdonado; el Rey de reyes me adoptó." This echoes Romans 8:15: "For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption of sons, by whom we cry, 'Abba, Father.'"
The repeated exclamations of "¡Oh Aleluya!" are not mere expressions of joy, but powerful affirmations of liberation. The lyrics vividly describe being freed from death's grip and the breaking of chains, a theme central to the Gospel message. This is beautifully aligned with Ephesians 2:1-5, which states, "As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved. And he raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus." The song emphasizes that salvation is found solely in His Name, reinforcing the exclusivity of Christ as the redeemer, as proclaimed in Acts 4:12: "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."
Furthermore, the powerful imagery of God's promises being sealed by the resurrection is a striking reminder of the solidified victory Christ achieved. The "great roar" from silence, breaking death's power, directly refers to the triumphant resurrection, a cornerstone of our faith. This is the very essence of 1 Corinthians 15:54-57: "When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: 'Death is swallowed up in victory.' 'O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?' The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." The concluding declaration, "La victoria está en Ti" (Victory is in You), encapsulates the entire message: our hope, our freedom, and our ultimate triumph are all found in Jesus. This song is more than just a worship anthem; it's a robust theological statement, an inspiring testament to the enduring power of the resurrection and the unfading hope we have in Christ.
