Ernie Haase Signature Sound Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus]
I know that I never shall forget
All the pretty things I found in Mexico, and yet
The most beautiful and precious ever told
Was salvation that I found in Mexico

I may never see that little Spanish town again
But I'll always think of it as where my life begain
Every day I'm lifted up, just knowing that I'm saved
I don't have to worry about life beyond the grave
I'm depending on God's power to keep me safe through every hour
Eternity is beautiful to me
I have a better life, I know; I tell it everywhere I go
I found Jesus down in Mexico

[Chorus: x2]

Fui a México a divertirme un poco,
Pasear, ver la ciudad, recostarme bajo el sol,
Una noche, mientras caminaba fuera del pueblo
Pasé por una pequeña capilla, y escuché una linda canción,
La curiosidad me llevó adentro a sentarme por un momento,
Y escuche cosas que no había escuchado desde que era un niño,
Ellos cantaban acerca de la gracia salvadora de Dios… en ese pequeño lugar
Encontré a Jesús, en México.

Coro:
Sé que nunca olvidaré
Las bellas cosas que vi en México, y aun así
La más bella y preciosa nunca antes contada,
Fue la salvación que encontré en México.

Tal vez nunca vuelva a ver ese pequeño pueblo
Pero siempre pensaré en él como el lugar donde mi vida empezó
Cada día me levanto solo para darme cuenta que soy salvo,
No me tengo que preocupar de la vida después de la muerte,
Dependiendo únicamente del poder de Dios para mantenerme seguro
A través de cada hora
La eternidad es hermosa para me,
Tengo una vida mejor, lo sé; lo diré a dondequiera que vaya,
Encontré a Jesús en México.
