Crystal Lewis - En Jesucristo Lyrics
Lyrics
En Jesucristo se halla la paz
en horas negras de tempestad
tienes las almas dulce solaz
grato consuelo, felicidad
gloria cantemos al redentor
que por nosotros quiso morir
y que la gracia del salvador
siempre dirija nuestro vivir
cuando en la lucha falta la fe
y el alma vese desfallecer
Cristo nos dice: "Siempre os dare
gracia divina, santo poder"
gloria cantemos al redentor
que por nosotros quiso morir
y que la gracia del salvador
siempre dirija nuestro vivir
gloria cantemos al redentor
que por nosotros quiso morir
y que la gracia del salvador
siempre dirija nuestro vivir

En JesuCristo
Meaning & Inspiration
Crystal Lewis gifted the world with "En Jesucristo" on February 16, 2022, a powerful Spanish-language anthem that transcends mere melody to deliver a profound spiritual message. From the outset, the song establishes itself as a beacon of unwavering faith, articulating a core truth that resonates deeply within the Christian experience: true and lasting peace, solace, and happiness are found exclusively in Jesus Christ, particularly when life's storms rage most fiercely. This isn't a speculative declaration but a confident affirmation drawn from centuries of faith, offering a tangible spiritual anchor in an often turbulent world.
The song begins by asserting, "En Jesucristo se halla la paz en horas negras de tempestad," which beautifully translates to "In Jesus Christ, peace is found in dark hours of storm." This opening line immediately brings to mind the promise of Christ in John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." It speaks to a peace that is not dependent on circumstances, but a supernatural calm bestowed by the Divine presence, guarding hearts and minds even amidst chaos, as Philippians 4:7 assures us. The lyrics continue, describing the sweet solace, grateful comfort, and happiness that souls receive, echoing 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, which reminds us that God, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, comforts us in all our affliction. This initial stanza sets a deeply comforting and reassuring tone, positioning Christ as the ultimate refuge.
Moving to the second stanza, the song shifts from receiving comfort to offering praise: "Gloria cantemos al redentor que por nosotros quiso morir y que la gracia del salvador siempre dirija nuestro vivir." Here, we are called to give glory to the Redeemer who willingly died for us. This poignant acknowledgment of Christ's sacrifice is central to Christian doctrine, reflecting Romans 5:8: "But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The song emphasizes that His death was a deliberate act of love, a choice made for humanity's salvation. Furthermore, it petitions that the Savior's grace would always direct our lives, a sentiment deeply rooted in Titus 2:11-12, which states, "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age." This grace is not merely unmerited favor but an active, guiding force that shapes character and directs moral living.
The third stanza addresses a universal human struggle: the moments when faith falters and the spirit grows weary. "Cuando en la lucha falta la fe y el alma vese desfallecer, Cristo nos dice: 'Siempre os dare gracia divina, santo poder'." This speaks directly to those times of spiritual exhaustion and doubt, a common experience for believers navigating life's challenges. In these moments of weakness, the song reminds us of Christ's steadfast promise: "I will always give you divine grace, holy power." This assurance is a direct echo of 2 Corinthians 12:9, where the Lord tells Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." It’s a powerful affirmation that God’s strength is perfected precisely when human strength fails, and that divine grace is ever-present to empower us. It’s a call to remember that even when we feel our weakest, we are invited to approach the throne of grace with confidence to receive mercy and find grace to help in our time of need, as highlighted in Hebrews 4:16.
The repeated chorus serves as a powerful anchor, solidifying the message of glorifying the Redeemer and allowing His grace to guide every aspect of our existence. "En Jesucristo" is more than a song; it's a profound theological statement set to music, a lyrical sermon that encourages deep reflection on the nature of God's peace, the magnitude of Christ's sacrifice, and the sustaining power of His grace. Crystal Lewis masterfully delivers a message designed to uplift the weary and strengthen the faithful, creating an enduring anthem that serves as a constant reminder of the unshakable foundation found in Christ. Its timeless message, steeped in scriptural truth, offers profound encouragement to anyone seeking spiritual grounding and unwavering hope.
