Heridos y necesitados a ti acudimos, Señor.
A cambio de nuestra miseria, tu nos das salud y bienestar.
Los pobres y oprimidos, quejándonos en soledad,
En Ti encontramos consuelo, en Ti alcanzamos la salvación.
Hoy somos al fin confortados, tenemos refugio fiel,
Aquí en el altar de tu templo, aquí es nuestra casa también.
Y renovada la esperanza, reafirmada nuestra fe,
The song "Amén. El Cuerpo De Cristo" by John Schiavone is a hymn of gratitude and devotion to the body and blood of Christ. In the first two lines, the lyrics state "The body of Christ. Amen. The blood of Christ. Amen". These lines are traditionally recited during the celebration of the Eucharist in the Christian faith. The next two lines express the idea that as wounded and needy individuals, people turn to God for help and comfort. In return for their suffering and poverty, God provides healing, health, and well-being.
The lyrics continue by acknowledging that the poor and oppressed feel alone and lost in their struggles, but through God's grace and salvation they find solace and hope. The altar of God's temple is presented as a place of refuge, where believers can find comfort and feel at home. The last two lines express the idea of renewed hope and affirmed faith, as believers strive to live out the promise of Christ's resurrection. Overall, the lyrics of the song convey a message of faith, redemption, and gratitude towards God.
