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.

~Into Motion (June 4, 2002)
~Con Poder (August 12, 2003)

Cry Holy
Salvador Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We come this far,
By light of day,
Through deserts of loneliness,
To the sacred place,
Well you know my life,
And all I've been through,
The sin in my heart,
Has kept me from you,

But father your grace,
Is greater then sin,
Your mercy rains down,
And heals me again.

All I can do is fall down on my knees and cry, holy, holy, holy.
All I can do is fall down on my knees and cry, and cry holy, holy, holy
You are holy

When I'm on my face,
In my darkest night,
I cry for a way,
To your shining light,
And father your grace,
Is greater then sin,
Shines down on me,
It heals me again.

All I can do is fall down on my knees and cry holy, holy, holy.
All I can do is fall down on my knees and cry holy, holy, holy.
You are holy.
You are holy.
Oohh you are holy, holy, holy

And father your grace,
Is greater then sin,
It shines down on me,
And heals me again.

All I can do is fall down on my knees and cry, holy, holy, holy.
All I can do is fall down on my knees and cry, and cry holy, holy, holy.
You are holy, holy
You are holy, holy, holy

All I can do is fall down on my knees and cry,
Cry holy, all I can do, is cry out for you, all I can do is cry, holy.

We come this far,
We have journeyed this long,

By light of day,
During the daytime,

Through deserts of loneliness,
Through rough and lonesome times,

To the sacred place,
To a special, holy destination,

Well you know my life,
You are aware of my experiences,

And all I've been through,
Everything that I have endured,

The sin in my heart,
The wrongdoing I have committed,

Has kept me from you,
Has separated me from your presence,

But father your grace,
However, your unmerited favor,

Is greater then sin,
Is more powerful than sin,

Your mercy rains down,
Your kindness and compassion is poured upon me,
