Tiempo De La Cruz Lyrics in English by Alex Campos
Consternado means "dismayed" or "distraught." It's a strong emotional word that describes a state of shock, distress, or profound sadness.
In the song, Alex Campos uses it to describe a world that is "consternado" (dismayed) and lacking faith. It paints a vivid picture of a world in spiritual turmoil, making it a powerful and thought-provoking word in the context of the lyrics.
Alex Campos's "Tiempo De La Cruz" [Time of the Cross] is a powerful reflection on how much things have changed, especially in faith. He opens by saying, "El tiempo ha cambiado, ya no es lo mismo que ayer" [Time has changed, it's not the same as yesterday], pointing out that prayer has been replaced by games, and people have lost interest in the word of God. It really makes you think about how quickly priorities can shift!
He laments the loss of the message of the cross and miracles, describing time as a game of chess where "Los peones a los reyes, los cristianos a su rey" [The pawns to the kings, the Christians to their king]. It's a striking image that suggests a disconnect from true devotion. Despite the world's resistance and the increase of sin, Alex reminds us that "La luz no se ha apagado Jesús sigue aun allí" [The light has not gone out, Jesus is still there], waiting for us. It's a hopeful message, urging us not to let our own time be an obstacle to faith.
