Libertad
Marco Barrientos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Al mundo Dios amó,
Y a su Hijo dio.
El Hijo nos amó,
La libertad nos dio.

Qué gran necesidad,
Ser libres en su amor
Y eso Él me da,

Ahora libre soy.

Cayeron las cadenas;
Cristo las rompió.

Así lo declaramos:
Libres al fin estamos;
Siempre lo confesamos
Cristo nos salvó.

Generación salvada,
Nunca intimidada
Toda nación librada.

¡Cristo nos salvó!
Libre soy
