1)Salvador is a Christian band that blends their Latin heritage and contemporary pop songwriting. The band formed in 1999 in Austin, Texas.
Over the past 10 years in which Salvador has toured throughout the country and at times outside of it, a fan base began to rapidly grow. According to the members of the group, no matter how huge the fan base gets, they are still surprised and grateful to be a part of that environment, and even more surprising to them is that their fans keep coming and supporting.
Not only has growth been among the fans, but also within the group as well. Adding to the existing members of Nic Gonzales (lead vocals and guitar), his cousin Josh Gonzales (bass and background vocals), Chris Bevins (co-producer and keyboards), and Jared Solis (trombone and saxophone), the band completes its family with brass man Edwin Santiago (trumpet and flugelhorn), Ben Cordonero (drummer) and Robert Vilera (percussionist) . Nic Gonzales calls the three men Salvador’s “valuable acquisitions.” Cordonero, a Nicaraguan from Miami, not only plays the drums but also traditional Latin percussion such as congas, timbales and bongos. Santiago is a Boricua – of Puerto Rican decent -who brings not only amazing talent but an unending work ethic as well. And Vilera, an established session player who’s worked with Marc Anthony, Gloria Estefan and Celia Cruz (to name a few) also brings more of the sonido Latina to the music and, ultimately, their fan base.
What is it that sets this record apart from other Christian albums and even Salvador’s previous ones? Three words: horns and percussion. According to the producers of album 'Dismiss the Mystery', there is a greater reliance on horns and percussion to take an already existing tapestry of excellent vocals, rhythm and strings, to a higher level of excellence creating nuances and gravitas that exudes a timeless capability.
Regarding the future of Salvador’s ability to keep creating in the face of growth, change and an unstable marketplace, one thing is for certain: after seven years of hard work culminating with Dismiss the Mystery, it is impossible to dismiss their undeniable musicianship, and the only mystery left at this point is what can they possibly do next to top it.

As the deer
Salvador Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee
You alone are my strength my shield
To You alone does my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
The lyrics of Salvador's song As The Deer are a profound expression of the human longing for the divine. The analogy of the deer panting for water highlights the deep thirst that the soul has for God's presence. The singer's soul longs for God because He is the only one who can fulfill its deepest desires. The repetition of the phrase "You alone are my heart's desire" emphasizes that there is nothing else in this world that can satisfy the singer's soul, other than God.
The lyrics also highlight the surrender of the singer's will to God. The line "To You alone does my spirit yield" communicates the singer's acknowledgement that God is in control, and his desire to submit to His will. The song is, therefore, an expression of devotion, surrender, and longing for God's presence. This is a message that resonates with many people, as it acknowledges the human yearning for something beyond and greater than ourselves.

As the deer panteth for the water
Just as a deer desperately thirsts for water to quench its thirst,
So my soul longeth after Thee
My soul also longs and yearns for You,
You alone are my heart's desire
You alone are the object of my affection and longing,
And I long to worship Thee
I have an intense desire to express my love and admiration for You through worship.
You alone are my strength my shield
You are the only source of strength and protection that I need,
To You alone does my spirit yield
I submit my spirit and will only to You,
You alone are my heart's desire
Once again, You are the sole desire and passion of my heart,
And I long to worship Thee
And once again, I deeply long to worship You.
