Roca Firme is a very interesting band, especially for those that are looking for an introduction to alt-metal with an experimental touch. The band, formed by OB Rosales (Lead voice), Bobby Pérez (guitar and bgv's), Moe Rosales (bass), Moises Cifuentes (drums) and Sari Pérez (guitar), has an 8 year long history, 2 full length albums, 2 ep's, countless tours and a very strong fan base.
Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, the band has a story filled with ups and downs, even situations that have endangered it's very existence. However, all these experiences have been necessary steps that, in many times with pain, they've had to go through to establish themselves as one of the most relevant and talented bands in the Christian Rock Scene.
2005 marked the definitive solidification of the band, thanks to their record label "Firmline Productions", who rescued their previous work, reedited it and made the band widely known through many concerts and exposure in the media. The label also produced their first professional music video for the song "Limpiame", and helped them to produce their most recent work.
Roca Firme is not just another band in the Christian rock scene, they are an amazing example of effort and perseverance. They have overcome the difficult times, while producing a very solid collection of work, to be considered a band breaking the molds, while barely just starting. There is, for sure, a lot of road left to walk and enjoy with these guys.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En el mundo yo vagaba en orgullo y dolor
En mi alma solo había penas hechas y rencor
Y cuando de Dios me hablaban le cerré mi corazón
Pero Cristo fue paciente, el con calma me esperó
La palabra fue sembrada y su semilla en mi brotó
Cuando supe como Cristo en la cruz por mi sufrió
Y cuando el fue juzgado a el mi alma se rindió
//Gracias Señor, Gracias Señor, Gracias mi Señor//
Y ahora que por Cristo en el templo de mi rey
Tengo amigos, tengo hermanos, todo me ha dado el
Ha borrado mi pasado me ha quitado el dolor
Desde que el entro a mi vida nueva criatura yo soy
Por las sendas de justicia por veredas de verdad
Quiero caminar en Cristo, su palabra predicar
Quiero ser su mensajero y llevar la salvación
Ante el mundo sin consuelo quiero hablar de su amor
//Gracias Señor, Gracias Señor, Gracias mi Señor//
Gracias señor, transformaste mi vida,
Mi corazón oh mi Jesús rindo yo a tus pies
Vengo hoy a ti con alma destrozada y herida
Restáurame señor entrego todo mi ser
///Gracias Señor, Gracias Señor, gracias señor, Gracias Señor///
Gracias!
The song "Gracias" by Roca Firme tells the story of the singer's personal transformation and gratitude towards God. The opening lines express the singer's initial skepticism towards the existence of a loving God, as they wandered through the world full of pride and pain. Their soul was weighed down by sorrow and resentment, and they closed their heart off to the idea of God when people tried to talk to them about it.
However, the singer explains how Christ was patient with them and calmly waited for the right moment to plant the seed of faith in their heart. They realized the depth of Christ's suffering on the cross and how he willingly went through that for their sake. This realization led them to surrender their heart to him and give thanks to God for his grace and forgiveness.
The rest of the song speaks of the singer's newfound joy, peace, and sense of belonging in Christ. They acknowledge that God has erased their past and removed their pain, turning them into a new creation. Now, they desire to walk in righteousness, truth, and love, sharing the good news of salvation with others who are lost and hurting. The song ends with a heartfelt expression of gratitude and surrender to God's will.
Overall, "Gracias" is an uplifting and inspiring song about the power of God's love to transform lives and bring healing to the brokenhearted.
