En Esto Creo (El Credo) - Hillsong Worship
Meaning & Inspiration
Hillsong Worship's "En Esto Creo (El Credo)," released on August 16, 2019, as part of the album *Hay Más*, is a powerful declaration of foundational Christian belief, presented not as a mere song, but as a vibrant, communal affirmation of faith. This piece artfully captures the essence of the Nicene Creed, translating its ancient theological weight into a contemporary worship anthem that resonates deeply with its listeners. The song's narrative centers on articulating core tenets of Christian doctrine: the triune nature of God, the divinity and salvific work of Jesus Christ, and the promise of eternal life. It moves beyond abstract creedal statements by grounding these beliefs in personal experience and relational understanding of God. The opening lines immediately establish God as the eternal Father, the Author of creation, a theme echoed in Genesis 1:1 and Psalm 24:1, highlighting His supreme authority and creative power. The mention of God's Spirit intervening and the Word becoming flesh points directly to the Incarnation, a cornerstone of Christian theology, referencing John 1:14, where "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." The declaration "Cristo tú salvas" (Christ, you save) is a direct testament to the redemptive work of Jesus, aligning with passages like Acts 4:12, which states there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.
The song meticulously breaks down the articles of faith, beginning with belief in God the Father, His Son Christ the King, and the Holy Spirit, firmly establishing the doctrine of the Trinity. This concept, while complex, is presented here with clarity and conviction, a truth that underpins the Christian understanding of God's unified yet multifaceted being, as hinted at in verses like Matthew 28:19 where Jesus commands baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The resurrection of Christ and the hope of future resurrection for believers is another central theme, directly referencing 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, which outlines the gospel message including Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. The belief that "nos levantarás" (you will raise us) is a profound expression of the hope for believers' own resurrection and future glorification, a promise found in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.
The lyrics further personalize the faith, framing Jesus as both judge and advocate, a concept that draws from His dual role as the one who will ultimately judge humanity (Acts 17:31) and the intercessor who stands for believers (Hebrews 7:25). The sacrifice on the cross and subsequent forgiveness are central, recalling Christ's atonement for sins, as spoken of in Romans 5:8: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The descent into darkness and subsequent rising in glory and power vividly depicts the victory over death and the triumph of the resurrection, a powerful portrayal of Christ's conquest of sin and hell, as seen in Ephesians 4:9. The recurring refrain emphasizes personal belief in Jesus, affirming His present life and Lordship, a declaration of faith echoed in Romans 10:9: "If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Finally, the song extends its scope to the communal aspects of faith: the belief in eternal life, the communion of saints, the unity of God's people, and the Church itself. The hope of resurrection and Christ's glorious return are powerful reminders of eschatological promises, found throughout the New Testament, particularly in Revelation 22:20. "En Esto Creo (El Credo)" is more than just a song; it's a musical testament to the enduring truths of the Christian faith, designed to unite voices in a shared confession of unwavering belief.
