Marco Barrientos - Hallado en Ti Lyrics
Lyrics
Todo mi pecar
fue lavado y blanco es
Redimidos hoy
Por ti el dolor se fue
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Hoy un hijo soy
Tom? mi cruz, con Cristo estoy
Con tu fuego, Dios,
llena este coraz?n
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Fui esclavo y libre soy
Era ciego y veo hoy
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Sin hogar y ahora un Rey
Tu verdad proclamar?
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Fui esclavo y libre soy
Era ciego y veo hoy
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Sin hogar y ahora un Rey
Tu verdad proclamar?
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Soy hallado en ti, Dios
Soy hallado en ti, Dios

Meaning & Inspiration
This song, "Hallado en Ti," performed by Marco Barrientos with Gateway Worship as part of the "Murallas" project released on December 31, 2019, is a declaration of finding one's complete identity and redemption in God. The lyrics powerfully convey the transformative work of Christ in the life of a believer, moving from a state of sin and brokenness to one of belonging and freedom. It begins by acknowledging the profound cleansing from sin, stating that all past wrong has been washed away and made white, signifying purity and forgiveness. The pain and burden of the past are described as being removed through this redemptive work, highlighting the liberation found in Christ.
The central theme, repeatedly emphasized throughout the song, is captured in the line "Soy hallado en ti, Dios." This phrase signifies a profound sense of finding one's true self, purpose, and secure identity within God. It speaks to the idea that apart from God, there is a feeling of being lost or incomplete, but in Him, everything comes into focus, and a sense of belonging is established. This is not merely a finding *of* God, but a finding *of oneself* *in* God, suggesting that true identity is intertwined with divine relationship and grace.
The song progresses to articulate the resulting status of this transformation. The singer declares being a child of God, a state achieved through embracing the path of following Christ, symbolized by taking up the cross. This new life is not passive but is fueled by a request for God's presence, described as divine fire, to fill the heart. This fire represents purification, passion, and empowerment for living out the new identity found in Him.
Further elaboration on the radical change brought by God is presented through vivid contrasts. The transition from being a slave to sin to becoming free is a core tenet of the Gospel message. Similarly, the shift from spiritual blindness to sight illustrates the opening of understanding and perception to divine truth. The powerful declaration moves from a state of having no true home or status to being regarded as royalty, a king (or part of a royal priesthood), underscoring the elevated position granted through adoption into God's family. Along with this new status comes a commitment to proclaim God's truth, sharing the reality of this transformation with others. These verses echo numerous biblical passages that speak to redemption, adoption, freedom from sin, spiritual sight, and the call to spread the message of God's work. For instance, being washed white is reflected in Isaiah 1:18 or Revelation 7:14. Redemption is a theme throughout the New Testament, such as in Ephesians 1:7. Finding identity in Christ is seen in passages like Philippians 3:9 or Galatians 2:20. Being called a child of God is a promise found in John 1:12, Romans 8:15, and Galatians 4:4-7. Taking up the cross aligns with Jesus' teachings in Matthew 16:24. The filling of God's presence or Spirit is described in Acts 2:4. Freedom from slavery to sin is a theme in Romans 6:18 and John 8:36. Gaining spiritual sight is mentioned in John 9:25 and Ephesians 1:18. Being called a king or part of a royal priesthood aligns with Revelation 1:6 and 1 Peter 2:9. Proclaiming truth is fundamental to the Great Commission in Mark 16:15. The repetition of "Soy hallado en ti, Dios" reinforces the certainty and centrality of this truth, making the song a powerful anthem of assurance and worship. The live performance context, as seen in the video associated with the 2019 release, often magnifies the communal experience of declaring these truths, making it not just a personal testimony but a corporate declaration of faith and the transformative power of God.
