Quiero Creer

Theology & Meaning

Quiero Creer — 'I Want to Believe' — is a Spanish-language worship declaration that echoes the desperate cry of the father in Mark 9:24: 'I believe; help my unbelief!' The song is theologically honest about the gap between desire and experience, between confession and conviction, and brings that honest struggle before God in worship. It represents the growing Spanish-language worship movement and the global church's expression of faith in its own languages.

Worship Leadership Tips

Particularly powerful in Spanish-speaking congregations or diverse congregations seeking to include Latino worship expression. Works in services on faith, doubt, or prayer for increased belief. The honest acknowledgment of wanting to believe is itself an act of faith that many worshipers can identify with.

Arrangement Tips

Contemporary Spanish worship production, similar to Elevation Worship's English songs. Full band with piano, electric guitar, and driving rhythm. The translation from English worship sensibility into Spanish makes it accessible to leaders familiar with contemporary worship styles. Keep the vocal clear and the melody prominent.
