A recent song by Costa Rican-born and Houston-based worship leader Danilo Montero is 'Isaías 40.' Available on Spotify and already quite popular on iTunes, the song is a straight-forward ballad and, I would argue, is congregation-ally sing-able. Lyrics and English translation below.
¿Quién ha medido en su mano los mares?
¿Quién ha podido formar las estrellas?
¿Quién ha logrado crear de la nada lo que existe y aún con su mano
Lo sostiene y por su inmensa gracia no lo deja caer?
Tú, quien da forma a los montes y guías al viento
Iluminas al hombre y su pensamiento
Revelas tus planes y tus secretos.
Transformas la oscuridad con tu luz
Eres tú, Dios eterno, el que fue, es y siempre será
Eres tú, Dios eterno, el que fue, es y siempre será
Se, que has estado en mis dificultades
Si, Sosteniéndome con tu justicia.
Se, que en las pruebas me das nuevas fuerzas
Tú eres mi escudo y mi fortaleza
Me sostienes por tu inmensa gracia, no me dejas caer
Esperanza y nuevas fuerzas
Fortaleza encontrarán los que confían en Ti
Esperanza y nuevas fuerzas
Fortaleza encontrarán los que confían en Ti
Las naciones de la tierra
Toda lengua confesará
Declarará tu poder
English translation:
Who has measured the seas in your hand?
Who has been able to form the stars?
Who has managed to create from nothing what exists and, still with his hand,
He holds it and, because of his immense grace, he doesn't drop it?
You, who shapes the mountains and guides to the wind
You enlighten the man and his thought
You reveal your plans and your secrets
You transform the darkness with your light
It is you, eternal God, who was, is and always will be
It is you, eternal God, who was, is and always will be
I know, you've been in my difficulties
Yes, holding me with your justice.
I know, in the tests you give me new strength
You are my shield and my strength
You hold me for your immense grace, you don't let me fall
Hope and new forces
Fortress will find those who trust in You
Hope and new forces
Fortress will find those who trust in You
The nations of the earth
Every tongue will confess
Will declare your power
