Cantamos A Él
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on April 28, 2015, as part of their album *Esto Es Jesús Culture*, the song "Cantamos A Él" emerges as a profound declaration of worship, translating into a vibrant call for unified adoration of God. This track captures the essence of Jesus Culture's ministry, focusing squarely on the majesty and holiness of Christ, inviting every individual and nation to participate in a global chorus of praise. It’s a song not merely to be heard, but to be actively engaged with, designed to draw the spirit into an encounter with the divine, echoing ancient truths in a contemporary voice.
The message at the core of "Cantamos A Él" is a beautiful unfolding of God's character and humanity's response. From its opening lines, proclaiming "Digno es el Hijo de Dios" (Worthy is the Son of God), the song immediately establishes a foundational truth found throughout Scripture. This echoes the heavenly scene described in Revelation 5:12, where countless voices declare, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" The subsequent affirmation, "Eres santo, eres santo" (You are holy, You are holy), aligns with the seraphim's eternal cry in Isaiah 6:3 and the ceaseless worship in Revelation 4:8, signifying God's absolute purity, moral perfection, and distinctness from all creation. This dual focus on worthiness and holiness sets the stage for a comprehensive act of worship, reminding us that reverence stems from a true understanding of who God is.
A powerful invitation extends throughout the song: "Todo corazón, toda nación, alce la voz, con la creación cantar" (Every heart, every nation, raise its voice, with creation sing). This vision of universal worship is deeply rooted in biblical prophecy and poetic expression. Psalm 148, for instance, calls on everything from the sun and moon to kings and common people to praise the Lord. Similarly, Philippians 2:10-11 declares 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 song paints a vivid picture of humanity joining the natural world, which inherently praises its Creator (Psalm 19:1), in a symphony of adoration. Furthermore, the line "El resonar del cielo aquí, con una voz cante la creación" (The resounding of heaven here, with one voice creation sings) suggests a spiritual convergence, an earthly manifestation of the worship that perpetually unfolds in the celestial realms. It implies that as we worship, we participate in something transcendent, drawing near to the throne room described in Hebrews 12:22-24, where we join "innumerable angels in joyful assembly."
The repetitive and declarative core of the song, "Cantamos a Él, Cantamos Santo es su nombre, Cantamos Digno es su nombre" (We sing to Him, We sing Holy is His name, We sing Worthy is His name), is not mere repetition but a powerful act of affirmation and commitment. It is a corporate vow to direct all praise and honor towards God alone. This direct address—"Cantamos a Él"—highlights an intentional, active, and personal engagement in worship, mirroring calls in Psalm 95:1-2 to "come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation" and Psalm 100:2 to "worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs." The simplicity of the language, while profound in its theological weight, makes the message accessible and easy to internalize, ensuring that the focus remains on the divine recipient of the praise. Ultimately, "Cantamos A Él" serves as a profound anthem that unifies believers in a timeless, worldwide declaration of God's unmatched holiness and worthiness, inspiring a passionate, scripturally informed worship experience that transcends mere musical enjoyment to become a spiritual act of devotion.
