Representative Text

1 Cuán glorioso es el cambio operado en mi ser,
viniendo a mi vida el Señor;
Hay en mi alma una paz que yo ansiaba tener,
la paz que me trajo su amor.

Coro:
Él vino a mi corazón,
él vino a mi corazón.
Soy feliz con la vida que Cristo me dio;
él vino a mi corazón.

2 Ya no voy por la senda que el mal me trazó,
do sólo encontré confusión;
Mis pecados pasados Jesús los borró;
él vino a mi corazón. [Coro]

3 Ni una sombra de duda oscurece su amor,
amor que me trajo el perdón;
La esperanza que aliento la debo al Señor,
él vino a mi corazón. [Coro]
