Lyrics
Quebrantado fuiste
¡Oh Jesús! por mi rebelión
Resucitaste y hoy puedo vivir
Y de nuevo nacer
Cuanto amaste al mundo Dios
Cuanto te quiero agradecer
Gloria, gloria en lo alto
Gloria en lo alto, gloria al Rey
Gloria, gloria a Ti mi Cristo
Tu nombre por siempre exaltaré
Venciste el mundo pecador
Con tu gran amor
(Gloria en lo alto, gloria en lo alto)
Ahora el Padre te ha exaltado
al más alto lugar
(Gloria en lo alto, gloria en lo alto)
Cuanto amaste al mundo Dios
(Gloria en lo alto, gloria en lo alto)
Cuanto te quiero enaltecer
// Gloria, gloria en lo alto
Gloria en lo alto, gloria al Rey
Gloria, gloria a Ti mi Cristo
Tu nombre por siempre exaltaré //
/Digno, solo Tú eres digno
Solo Tú eres digno
Solo Tú eres Dios/
// Gloria, gloria en lo alto
Gloria en lo alto, gloria al Rey
Gloria, gloria a Ti mi Cristo
Tu nombre por siempre exaltaré //
Gloria, gloria en lo alto

Meaning & Inspiration
Christine D’Clario’s “Gloria en lo Alto,” released on April 17, 2012, stands as a powerful and enduring anthem of worship, firmly rooted in the celestial proclamation of God’s glory. The song draws its profound essence directly from the joyous announcement made by the heavenly host to the shepherds in Luke 2:14: "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests." This foundational scripture immediately sets the tone, positioning the song as a direct echo of the angels’ awe-filled revelation at the birth of Jesus. The narrative woven throughout “Gloria en lo Alto” is one of uncontainable adoration, moving from the grand pronouncement of divine majesty in the heavenly realms to its earthly impact on believers, reflecting the overarching biblical theme of God’s sovereignty and redemptive grace. The song’s strength lies in its masterful ability to translate this ancient, yet ever-present, truth into a contemporary expression of faith.
As a review and analysis, “Gloria en lo Alto” excels through its vibrant musicality and its profound theological weight. D’Clario’s vocal delivery is both commanding and tender, conveying a deep reverence that resonates with the sacred subject matter. The instrumentation, often characterized by a building crescendo of worshipful sound, effectively mirrors the escalating awe inspired by the angelic chorus. The arrangement skillfully supports the lyrical journey, allowing each declaration of glory to land with significant impact. Beyond its sonic appeal, the song’s theological depth is remarkable. It doesn't merely state the fact of God's glory but invites listeners to actively participate in its declaration. This participatory element aligns with passages like Psalm 96:1-3, which calls for singing new songs to the Lord, praising His name and proclaiming His salvation day after day. The song’s message is not static; it’s an invitation to continuous praise, a reflection of how the unfolding narrative of God’s love, culminating in Christ, demands a perpetual song of adoration. The phrase "Gloria en lo Alto" itself becomes a focal point, a repeated invocation that draws the spirit upward, mirroring the heavenly perspective described in Revelation 4:11 where the elders fall down and worship God, saying, "You are worthy, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being." This consistent emphasis on God’s worthiness, rooted in His creative power and salvific plan, makes “Gloria en lo Alto” more than just a song; it’s a theological declaration set to music, encouraging a profound sense of awe and gratitude for the divine presence made manifest in the world.
