Uno
Alvarado Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Una vez más, Jesús,
estoy ante Ti,
traigo mi corazón dispuesto
a tu voluntad cumplir

Sé que requiere esfuerzo,
que no es fácil caminar,
que la fe no es solitaria,

se vive en comunidad

Es por eso que te pido
tu Espíritu, Señor,
para que vivamos en amor

Quiero ser uno, uno sólo en Ti
Tú eres mi luz, mi fortaleza,
mi horizonte a seguir
Quiero ser uno, mi corazón está en Ti

Con alegría serviré y aunque me canse
en Ti vida encontraré
