Alabaré Al Señor (Anástasis)

Hillsong Worship's "Alabaré Al Señor (Anástasis)" narrates the crucifixion and resurrection in close sequence, Spanish for "I will praise the Lord" paired with the Greek word for resurrection as its title. "Recordaré aquella cruz, donde sangró y murió Jesús" — I will remember that cross, where Jesus bled and died — doesn't rush past the crucifixion to get to the celebration.

"En soledad Él se quedó" — in solitude He remained — sits with the tomb before moving forward, letting the silence of that first Saturday actually register instead of skipping straight from cross to resurrection.

"Pero al tercer amanecer, un gran estruendo se escuchó, ¿dónde está muerte tu aguijón? Cristo Jesús resucitó" — but on the third dawn, a great sound was heard, where is your sting, death? Christ Jesus is risen — quotes Paul's own taunt against death from 1 Corinthians almost word for word, translated into Spanish but keeping the same defiant question. "Muy pronto Él regresará" — very soon He will return — keeps the song's hope pointed forward as much as backward, praise offered for what already happened and for what's still coming.
