Contempladle

Song Meaning

Written entirely in Spanish, the song builds a portrait of Christ by stacking one image on another, then repeating a single invitation: behold Him. It opens before creation itself, placing time in God's hands, then moves to the astonishing turn where the One who heard our cry left His throne out of love and became like us. From there the verses gather scenes from the Gospels — dining with sinners, healing the lame and the blind, dying like a criminal, giving freedom through His blood, rising again in power. The chorus names Him Son of God, Messiah, Lamb and roaring Lion, Alpha and Omega, and the repeated call to come and behold ties the whole piece together. A bridge of unbroken worship follows, declaring Him holy and worthy of all adoration, before the chorus returns to close. The effect is less a story told than a gallery walked slowly, each verse another frame to stand before. Even the plainest lines carry weight because they are sung rather than explained, and the song trusts repetition to do its work — the same invitation returning until it becomes a posture rather than a phrase.

El que fue antes que hubiera luz
En Sus manos el tiempo está
El Creador de la vida es Él
Contempladle

El que nuestro clamor escuchó
Y Su trono dejó por amor
Se hizo como nosotros
Contempladle

Cristo, Hijo de Dios, Mesías
Cordero, León rugiente
Oh venid, contempladle

El que con pecadores cenó
Y a los cojos y ciegos sanó
Con nosotros aquí está
Contempladle

Él murió como un criminal
Con Su sangre nos dio libertad
Con poder Él resucitó
Contempladle

Cristo, Hijo de Dios, Mesías
Cordero, León rugiente
Oh venid, contempladle
Cristo, Alfa y Omega
Mi Salvador divino
Oh venid, contempladle

Santo, Santo, Santo, Dios Todopoderoso
Digno, Digno, Digno, de toda adoración

Santo, Santo, Santo, Dios Todopoderoso
Digno, Digno, Digno, de toda adoración

Santo, Santo, Santo, Dios Todopoderoso
Digno, Digno, Digno, de toda adoración

Santo, Santo, Santo, Dios Todopoderoso
Digno, Digno, Digno, de toda adoración

Cristo, Hijo de Dios, Mesías
Cordero, León rugiente
Oh venid, contempladle
Cristo, Alfa y Omega
Mi Salvador divino
Oh venid, contempladle

Santo, Santo, Santo, Dios Todopoderoso
Digno, Digno, Digno, de toda adoración

Santo, Santo, Santo, Dios Todopoderoso
Digno, Digno, Digno, de toda adoración

Cristo, Hijo de Dios, Mesías
Cordero, León rugiente
Oh venid, contempladle
Cristo, Alfa y Omega
Mi Salvador divino
Oh venid, contempladle
