Cargaste Tú mi cruz
Mi libertad, con Tu vida compraste
Y ahora Tuyo soy
Proclamaré Tu bondad para siempre
Digno de alabar

Eres Digno de alabar
Vergüenza huye hoy
Rendido estoy ante tu amor innegable
Tu gracia eterna es
Proclamaré Tu bondad para siempre
Sé exaltado hoy en los cielos
Ven y llena este lugar
Eres digno de alabar
No hay otro nombre igual

Meaning & Inspiration
Elevation Worship’s “Digno (Worthy)” from their 2019 album *Aleluya (En La Tierra)* is a profound declaration of Christ’s worthiness, rooted in the foundational truths of Christian faith. The song centers on the overwhelming gratitude for Christ’s sacrifice and the redemption it brings, a theme deeply resonant throughout Scripture. The central message echoes the sentiment found in Philippians 2:9-11, where it is proclaimed that God exalted Jesus to the highest place, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. The opening lines, speaking of Christ bearing the cross and purchasing freedom with His life, directly recall the substitutionary atonement described in passages like 1 Peter 2:24, "He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live to righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." This act of purchasing freedom signifies the immense debt of sin that humanity could not pay, a debt that only Christ’s perfect life and sacrificial death could satisfy.
The lyrical progression moves from this act of redemption to the believer's response: to be forever Yours and to proclaim His goodness. This aligns with the biblical imperative to share the gospel and testify to God's faithfulness, as seen in Psalm 107:2, "Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—that he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy." The song explicitly declares, “Shame flees today, surrendered I am to your undeniable love,” pointing to the transformative power of God’s grace that overcomes all past failures and insecurities. This speaks to the freedom from condemnation found in Romans 8:1, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." The surrender mentioned is not a reluctant giving up but a willing yielding to a love that is inescapable and eternal, reflecting the call to present ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, as stated in Romans 12:1.
The chorus and concluding verses build upon this foundation, exalting Christ and acknowledging His unparalleled worthiness to be praised. The repetition of "Digno de alabar" (Worthy to be praised) reinforces the sovereignty and supremacy of God, a theme that permeates Old and New Testament worship. The petition, “Come and fill this place,” is a direct echo of the corporate prayer for the Holy Spirit’s presence and empowering, as desired in Acts 4:31, "After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly." Ultimately, “Digno (Worthy)” serves as a powerful reminder of the profound debt of gratitude owed to Jesus Christ for His finished work on the cross, and the righteous response of surrendering one’s life to His lordship and proclaiming His matchless worth.
