Maverick City Music - Mi Oración (La Niña De Tus Ojos) Lyrics
Lyrics
Esta es mi oración
Que tu presencia
Se derrame en mí
Este es mi corazón
Que yo sea un reflejo de ti
Y todo lo que soy
Te lo entrego hoy
Me humillo a tus pies
Sin ti no soy nada
Purifica mi alma
Haz tu voluntad en mí
Esta es mi oración
Esta es mi oración
Como no ofrecerte
Una ofrenda que perfume tu trono
Vivir para agradarte
Es mi gozo darte a ti lo mejor
Y todo lo que soy
Te lo entrego hoy
Me humillo a tus pies
Sin ti no soy nada
Purifica mi alma
Haz tu voluntad en mí
Y todo lo que soy
Te lo entrego hoy
Me humillo a tus pies
Sin ti no soy nada
Purifica mi alma
Haz tu voluntad en mí
Esta es mi oración
Esta es mi oración...
Y antes de yo hablar
Quiero escuchar tu voz
Antes de caminar
Ve delante de mí
En cada momento
Yo confiaré en ti
Y tu palabra
Sea mi seguridad
Y antes de yo hablar
Quiero escuchar tu voz
Antes de caminar
Ve delante de mí
En cada momento
Yo confiaré en ti
Y tu palabra
Sea mi seguridad
Y todo lo que soy
Te lo entrego hoy
Me humillo a tus pies
Sin ti no soy nada
Purifica mi alma
Haz tu voluntad en mí
Y todo lo que soy
Te lo entrego hoy
Me humillo a tus pies
Sin ti no soy nada
Purifica mi alma
Haz tu voluntad en mí
Esta es mi oración
Esta es mi oración...
Te amo más que a mi vida
Te amo más que a mi vida
Te ama más que a mi vida más
Te amo más que a mi vida
Te amo más que a mi vida
Te ama más que a mi vida más
Te amo más que a mi vida
Te amo más que a mi vida
Te ama más que a mi vida más
Te amo más que a mi vida
Te amo más que a mi vida
Te ama más que a mi vida más
Y me diste nombre
Yo soy tu niña
La niña de tus ojos
Porque me amaste a mí

Meaning & Inspiration
"Mi Oración (La Niña De Tus Ojos)" by Maverick City Music, featured on their 2022 album *Simple Adoración*, is a profoundly moving piece that distills the essence of Christian devotion into a powerful prayer. The song’s narrative centers on a complete surrender of self to the divine, a theme deeply rooted in biblical teachings about humility, dependence, and the transformative power of God's love. The core of the song is a heartfelt plea for God's presence to permeate the singer's very being, to purify their soul, and to shape their actions according to His will. This echoes the Apostle Paul's admonition in Romans 12:1, urging believers to present their bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is their spiritual act of worship. The lyrics express a profound recognition of human inadequacy apart from God, stating, "Sin ti no soy nada" (Without you I am nothing), a sentiment that resonates with Jesus' words in John 15:5, "Apart from me you can do nothing."
The song goes beyond a mere request for presence; it is an offering of everything the individual is. The act of humbling oneself at God's feet signifies a relinquishing of pride and a willingness to be molded, mirroring the prophetic call in Psalm 51:17 for a broken and contrite heart, which God will not despise. The desire to "live to please you" and offer a "fragrant offering" aligns with the Old Testament sacrificial system, where offerings were meant to be pleasing to God, and the New Testament call in Hebrews 13:15-16 to offer spiritual sacrifices of praise and good deeds. The progression of the prayer demonstrates a desire for active guidance, seeking to hear God's voice before speaking and to have God lead their steps, as spoken of in Psalm 23: "He leads me beside still waters" and Proverbs 3:5-6, which encourages trusting in the Lord with all one's heart and leaning not on one's own understanding, but acknowledging Him in all ways. The declaration, "Your word be my security," underscores the foundational importance of Scripture as a source of truth and stability, reflecting Nehemiah 8:10 where the joy of the Lord is described as strength.
The latter part of the song culminates in an intimate declaration of love, "Te amo más que a mi vida" (I love you more than my life), a profound expression of devotion that parallels the greatest commandment found in Matthew 22:37, to love God with all one's heart, soul, and mind. This elevated love is acknowledged as a response to God's initiative, recognizing that "you gave me a name, I am your child, the apple of your eye." This deeply personal connection is powerfully biblical, referencing God's tender care for His people as depicted in Deuteronomy 32:10 and Zechariah 2:8, where Israel is referred to as the "pupil of his eye." "Mi Oración (La Niña De Tus Ojos)" is not just a song; it's a comprehensive and biblically rich expression of a believer's relationship with God, characterized by humility, dependence, surrender, and an all-consuming love rooted in His unfailing affection.
