Representative Text

1 Es Cristo quien por mi murió,
Mis culpas por borrar,
Cuan grandes penas el sufrió,

Refrain: ¡Oh, cuanto amo a Cristo!
¡Oh, cuanto amo a Cristo!
¡Oh, Cuanto amo a Cristo!
Porque antes me amo.

2 Jesús su sangre derramo,
Mi Rey por mi murió;
Por mí, porque él me amo,
Mi iniquidad limpio. [Refrain]

3 ¡Oh! nunca puedo yo pagar,
La deuda de su amor;
Estoy aquí mi Salvador,
Recíbeme, Señor. [Refrain]

4 Vivir con Cristo es tener paz,
Con él habitare;
Pues suyo soy, y de hoy en más,
De nadie temeré. [Refrain]
