Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Su dulce vista en mi clavo y allí permanecí
y tal mirada de pasión jamás olvidare
Culpable por su muerte soy más el enmudeció
Inquieto por un gran pesar con lágrimas caí
Sabiendo que por mi maldad su sangre derramo
Mas su mirada expreso: "ya tienes mi perdón"
Y siempre quiero recordar la mirada de pasión herida por mi bien
Y hoy su gloria cantare su eterno y puro amor
Pues el cordero en mi lugar murió
Mire su muerte y entendí mi fatua corrupción
Que por su gracia inmensurable perdonada fue
Mi gozo pleno conquisto con yagas de dolor
Cargo con toda mi impiedad y ahora vivo en El
The lyrics of the song La Mirada by Steve Pettit Evangelistic Team narrate the singer's experience of witnessing a man in agony, suffering on the cross. The sight of the man's suffering was impressed upon the singer's mind, and he could not forget the passionate gaze that the man gave him. The man on the cross, who remains unnamed but is widely understood to be Jesus Christ, was silent in the face of the singer's guilt over his death. The singer is overcome with great sadness and falls to tears, realizing that it was his own wrongdoing that led to Jesus' death on the cross. However, in the midst of his grief and guilt, Jesus' gaze expresses forgiveness, a gesture of love and mercy that the singer will carry with him always.
In the second verse of the song, the singer reflects further on the meaning of Jesus' sacrifice. He knows that it was his own sin and wickedness that brought Jesus to the cross, and that Jesus shed his blood for him. Despite his unworthiness, Jesus' gaze gave him the comfort of knowing that he was forgiven. This realization comforts the singer and fills him with joy. He now lives for Christ, bearing the burden of his sins and acknowledging the mercy of Christ's sacrifice. The song ends with a triumphant declaration of the singer's devotion to Jesus and his eternal, pure love that conquers all.
