Danny Gokey - Firme Estaré Lyrics
Lyrics
Necesito un milagro
Esperándolo estoy
Se que toda obra para bien
¿Cuánto tardarás?
Dios yo quiero ser sano
No lo negaré
Un cambio necesito hoy
Dios no tardes más
Y si no viera la promesa
En esta vida
Si dudara mi esperanza
Mi fe se mantendrá
Por qué yo sé que el día viene
Cuando será todo mejor
Te alabaré esperando
Y mi fe firme estará
Me enseñaste a confiarte
Me enseñaste a creer
Autor y perfeccionador
De lo que has hecho en mi
Caminaré sin dudarlo
Me aferraré solo a ti
Por qué si te tengo solo a ti
Nada me faltará
Y si no viera la promesa
En esta vida
Si dudara mi esperanza
Mi fe se mantendrá
Por qué yo sé que el día viene
Cuando será todo mejor
Te alabaré esperando
Y mi fe firme estará
Encuentro gozo en la prueba
Por qué embelleces mi dolor
Nunca me dejas
Y si no viera la promesa
En esta vida
Si dudara mi esperanza
Mi fe se mantendrá
Por qué yo sé que el día viene
Cuando harás todo mejor
Te alabaré esperando
Y mi fe firme estará
Por qué yo sé que el día viene
Cuando será todo mejor
Te alabaré esperando
Y mi fe firme estará
Y mi fe firme estará

Firme Estaré
Meaning & Inspiration
Danny Gokey’s "Firme Estaré" emerges not merely as a song, but as a profound declaration of unwavering faith, resonating deeply within the hearts of those grappling with life’s inevitable trials and the often-challenging wait for God’s intervention. From its initial release, this Spanish-language track immediately distinguished itself through its raw honesty and powerful message, firmly establishing it as an anthem for perseverance in the Christian music landscape. It captures the universal human longing for healing and breakthrough, directly confronting the tension between our desperate need for a miracle and the seemingly silent expanse of God's timing, echoing the plaintive cry of "How long will You take?" while simultaneously affirming the foundational truth that "all things work for good" (Romans 8:28). This journey from fervent plea to steadfast conviction is what gives the song its enduring spiritual weight.
The heart of "Firme Estaré" beats with a courageous, counter-intuitive surrender, expressed most powerfully in its recurring chorus. The singer confronts the very real possibility of not seeing a promised outcome in this lifetime, acknowledging how hope itself can waver under pressure. Yet, it is precisely in this vulnerable admission that a monumental act of faith is declared: "My faith will be maintained... Because I know the day is coming when everything will be better. I will praise You while waiting, and my faith will be firm." This isn't a naive optimism, but a seasoned trust forged in the crucible of delayed gratification, understanding that faith is "the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). It's a testament to choosing praise in the face of uncertainty (1 Thessalonians 5:18) and a profound recognition that present suffering is indeed preparing us for an eternal weight of glory, producing perseverance, character, and an unshakeable hope (Romans 5:3-5).
The song further unpacks this steadfast reliance by acknowledging God's active role in cultivating such a faith. It speaks of being taught to trust and believe, recognizing God not just as the recipient of our faith, but as its very "Author and Perfecter" (Hebrews 12:2). This line is particularly poignant, reminding us that our capacity to hold firm is not self-generated, but divinely empowered. God isn't just present in our trials; He is orchestrating our growth, refining us, and diligently completing the good work He began in us (Philippians 1:6). This understanding transforms the waiting period from a barren stretch of time into a fertile ground for spiritual formation, where every moment is an opportunity to learn more about His character and faithfulness.
This deep conviction then translates into an active commitment to "walk without doubting" and "cling only to You." Such a resolve is not born of arrogance but of absolute dependence, echoing the Psalmist’s declaration, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want" (Psalm 23:1). When the song affirms that "if I have only You, I will lack nothing," it strips away all peripheral desires and centers solely on the sufficiency of God. This profound trust transcends material blessings or even the fulfillment of specific prayers, elevating God Himself as the ultimate treasure and source of all provision, a truth powerfully echoed in Christ’s teaching to seek first His kingdom and righteousness (Matthew 6:33). It’s a complete spiritual surrender, an unwavering grip on the One who never lets go.
Perhaps the most inspiring and challenging aspect of "Firme Estaré" is its declaration of finding joy in the midst of trials because God "beautifies my pain" and "never leaves me." This is not a superficial happiness, but a profound, spiritual joy—a fruit of the Spirit that blooms precisely when circumstances are most difficult (James 1:2-4). It speaks to God’s incredible ability to redeem suffering, transforming sorrow into something meaningful, much like giving "beauty for ashes" (Isaiah 61:3). The assurance that God "never leaves" (Hebrews 13:5) serves as the bedrock for enduring any hardship, knowing that His presence is a constant, unfailing anchor. "Firme Estaré" ultimately inspires the listener to cultivate a faith that looks beyond the present moment, trusting in a sovereign God who is actively working for our good, perfecting our trust, and promising a future where every tear will be wiped away and all things will truly be made new.
