Hillsong UNITED - Tomalo Lyrics
Lyrics
De todo lugar los perdidos vendr?n,
En libertad a ti clamar?n,
Llevaste la cruz, por esto hoy vivo est?s,
Mi Dios, a ti mi vida te dar?.
Enviaste a Jes?s por mi salvaci?n,
Por la eternidad en ti tengo perd?n,
Busqu? la verdad y te encontr? a ti,
Mi Dios, a ti mi vida te dar?.
Jes?s, por ti yo vivir?,
De ti nunca me avergonzar?
Te doy todo lo que soy,
Toma, t?malo, toma, t?malo.
Eres el que vista al ciego das,
Brillas en la oscuridad,
La salvaci?n del mundo en tus manos est?.

Meaning & Inspiration
"Tomalo," a powerful track from Hillsong UNITED's 2006 live album *Unidos Permanecemos*, stands as a profound declaration of surrender and faith, deeply rooted in the transformative power of Jesus Christ's sacrifice. The song articulates a compelling narrative of salvation, moving from the universal call of the lost to the intimate commitment of an individual's life. It speaks to a fundamental truth echoed throughout Scripture: that redemption is freely offered and eagerly received by those who seek it. The lyrics paint a picture of liberation, where the lost find their voice in crying out to God, empowered by the victory of Christ's resurrection, a theme that resonates powerfully with verses like Isaiah 43:1, which promises redemption and re-creation, stating, "But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: 'Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine!'" The song's assertion that Jesus was sent for salvation and offers eternal forgiveness finds its bedrock in John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." This belief in Jesus leads to an undeniable encounter with truth, beautifully expressed as seeking truth and finding God, a testament to the promise in Jeremiah 29:13: "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." The core of "Tomalo" lies in the complete offering of self in response to this divine love and sacrifice. The repeated refrain, "Toma, tómalo, toma, tómalo," is not merely a lyrical phrase but a profound invitation for God to take all of one's being, mirroring the Apostle Paul's exhortation in Romans 12:1: "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." This surrender is born from the recognition of Christ's ongoing work – giving sight to the blind and shining light into darkness. The song declares that salvation for the world rests in His hands, a profound affirmation of Christ's sovereignty and power, as foretold in Isaiah 9:6, which describes the coming child as "the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace," and whose "government shall be upon his shoulder." The message of "Tomalo" is an inspiring call to embrace the fullness of God's grace, leading to a life lived in unashamed devotion and complete reliance on the One who has already secured victory for all who believe.
