Mi fe espera en ti

Representative Text

1 Mi fe espera en ti,
Cordero, quien por mi,
Fuiste a la cruz;
Escucha mi oración,
Dame tu bendición,
Llene mi corazón
Tu santa luz.

2 Tu gracia en mi alma pon,
Guarde mi corazón,
Tu sumo amor.
Tu sangre carmesí,
Diste en la cruz por mí;
Que viva para ti
Con fiel ardor.

3 A ruda lid iré,
Y pruebas hallaré,
Mi guía sé;
Líbrame de ansiedad,
Guárdame en santidad,
Y por la eternidad
Te alabaré.
