Lyrics
Verso 1
Me has llamado a contemplar
Y gloriarme en la cruz
A explorar la profundidad
De la gracia en Jes?s
Donde Tu gran amor
Mi gran culpa perdon?
Tu bondad me abraz?
Coro
Mi coraz?n se llena hoy
De mil canciones para Ti
Para alabar a mi Se?or
Que en una cruz muri? por m?
Muestra la gloria
Y la hermosura
De la cruz
Verso 2
Gozo eterno al pecador
Por las llagas que ?l sufri?
Y la sangre que verti?
Santa ira removi?
El coro terrenal
Se une al celestial
Glori?ndose en su Redentor

Meaning & Inspiration
La Gloria de la Cruz contemplates the cross as the place where divine love meets human guilt. The first verse moves from invitation to wonder, dwelling on grace in Jesus and on forgiveness offered through his sacrifice. Its chorus answers that grace with abundant praise, directing attention to the Lord who died for the sinner. The cross is therefore presented not as an emblem of defeat, but as the display of saving beauty and glory.
The second verse develops the same theme through wounds, shed blood, and wrath removed. These images closely reflect biblical accounts of redemption, especially Isaiah 53:5 and Ephesians 1:7. The final picture joins earthly and heavenly praise around the Redeemer, widening an individual confession into shared worship. Galatians 6:14 provides an especially direct parallel to the title and refrain: glory is found in the cross of Christ. Throughout the song, joy flows from pardon, and praise remains centered on what Christ accomplished rather than on human achievement.
