Con Que Pagaremos
Fernando Ortega Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Con Que Pagaremos amor tan inmeso,
Que diste Tu vida por el pecador?
En cambio recibes la ofrenda humilde,
La ofrenda humilde, Senor Jesucristo,
De mi corazon.

Y cuando la noche extiende su mano
Mis ojos en llanto en ti fijare
Alzando mis ojos vere las estrellas
Yo se que tras ellas, Cual Padre amoroso
Tu velas por mi

No puede pagarte con oro ni plata,
El gran sacrificio que hicisto por mi
No tengo que duarte por tanto amarme;




Recibe este canto, mezclado con llanto,
Y mi corazon.

Hermosisimo canto de agradecimiento, qué toca lo más profundo de nuestro corazón
Gracias Dios,, gracias Señor Jesús
Por tanto amor, por nosotros..

@BettyVelez99

Hermoso himno, para tres personas que gimen por un padre, una nunca lo conoció, otra lo miro, mas no oyó su voz, la tercera lo conoció en toda su bondad y ternura, lo amo y le tocó verlo partir. Para ellas va este himno, en Cristo cada una conocerá a su Padre celestial que no lo vemos más siempre ha estado con las tres. Bendito Padre

As I listen to Fernando I'm moved to love the passion with which he sings. There's no doubt in my mind that my recognition of the Spanish language will be very much helped by my constant messaging with my nephew who lives in Tennessee.
"David" makes a living teaching HS Spanish. He often sends me music with Spanish language inflections!

This was my Mom’s favorite song while I was growing up. Now that she’s gone, this song takes me back to driving around town with her,both singing even though I didn’t know what I was saying.
