2
            You came to save me, giving up your life,
            Your blood redeemed me, what sacrifice!
              Now I will serve you, you are my Lord;
             For I want to stand in mansions above,
                Where you sit on your throne.
                          3
            There in the heavens, where you are ruling,
              I'll have the blessing to see your face;
             Your precious visage, flowing with love,
               I will be with you, in eternal bliss,
                    For the ages, Amen.

                     JESUS ESCUCHA
             Ps 61 1 INIEBCFSSIPN / es 1391 SLJPPUC&IPN
                Oh, Jesus, hearken to my plea,
                 My life depends only on you;
              Oh, hear my voice, make haste to me,
               Lend me the power of your might!
                        CHORUS
              Protect my thoughts, and all my acts,
               And consecrate the words I speak;
              Set my heart free, and lead my way,
                Do not allow my faith to stray.
                          2
           When day breaks free, when dawn has come,
               To you I'll raise my voice in song,
                And as an incense I will bring,
                My every prayer to your throne.
                          3
               When astral light glistens the sky,
               I will be searching for your peace;
                My love accept, I beg, my Lord,
                  It is my evening sacrifice.
                          4
              Oh, my good Lord, though it is hard,
