Defiendeme

Today I have come to confess with my lipsHoy he venido a confesar con mis labios
That I don't deserve everything you've given meQue no merezco todo lo que me has dado
That I do not deserve to continue being your sonQue no merezco seguir siendo hijo tuyo
That my knees have become prideQue mis rodillas se han quedado en orgullo
And arrogance has ended in tearsY la arrogancia se ha acabado llorando

Today I have come for you to judge my lifeHoy he venido pa' que juzgues mi vida
I am guilty and the pain hurts meYo soy culpable y el dolor me lastima
I was the one who opened the windows to the worldYo fui el que abrii las ventanans al mundo
I was the one who strayed from your pathYo fui el que me aleje del camino tuyo
I have sinned and I have made myself a woundYo he pecado y me he hecho a mí mismo una herida

And I came because someone told meY he venido por que alguien me comento
And he told me that there was a lawyer between you and meY me dijo que había un abogado entre tú y yo
Who defended any accusation with bloodQue defendia con sangre cualquier acusaciòn
And with that hope I have come before youY con esa esperanza yo he venido ante ti

And now I invoke the name of that mediatorY ahora invoco el nombre de ese mediador
Let him defend my cause and plead with me before meQue defienda mi causa y me abogue ante mi
I say that I sinned but I already regretted itQue diga que peque pero ya me arrepenti
And through him you can give me forgivenessY por medio de él me puedas dar el perdón

That was a moment of weaknessQue fue un momento de debilidad
I am a Christian but flesh in the endSoy cristiano pero carne al final
And there was something in me that didn't want to do itY hubo algo en mi que no lo quería hacer
But sin had more powerPero el pecado tuvo más poder
Temptation overcame me without further adoLa tentaciòn me domino sin más
I wanted to react but why?Quise reaccionar pero ya pa'que
The devil in his trap made me fallEl diablo en su trampa me hizo me caer
And maybe I wanted to go backY tal vez yo quise volver atrás
But I want another chancePero yo quiero otra oportunidad
Defend me Jesus of NazarethDefiendeme Jesùs de Nazareth

Defend me, defend me LordDefiendeme, defiendeme Señor
Remember this sinful manAcuérdate de este hombre pecador

Today I have come to settle accounts with youHoy he venido a arreglar cuentas contigo
I misbehaved and I deserve your punishmentMe porte mal y merezco tu castigo
I know very well that I deserve this disciplineSe muy bien que merezco esta disciplina
Like a good father, when he punishes his sonComo el buen Padre, cuando a su hijo castiga
But let me follow your waysPero dejame seguir en tus caminos

Turn from your anger, Lord of heavenVuelvete de tu ira, Señor de los cielos
You are my God who is eternally goodTú eres mi Dios que eternamente eres bueno

Send your spirit to embrace meManda a tu espíritu para que me abraze
Because I can't go on without your presencePor que seguir sin tu presencia no puedo

Maybe I wanted to hide that sinTal vez quise ocultar el pecado aquel
And my conscience wouldn't let me even eatY la conciencia no me dejaba ni comer
He wanted to break my soul, not even a piece of paperQuiso romperse mi alma, ni un pedazo de papel
And today I want to confess it, that's why I'm hereY hoy quiero confesarlo, por eso estoy aquì

Today I call upon you Jesus of NazarethHoy te invoco Jesùs de Nazareth
Because I read in the Bible that you died for mePor que leì en la Biblia que moristes por mi
Please tell the Father to have mercy on mePor favor dile al Padre que se apiade de mi
And cleanse my life like that leperY me limpie la vida como al leproso aquel
That even my crying is overQue ya hasta el llanto se me termino
I consciously made a mistakeConcientemente cometi un error
I won't let him down againQue no le pienso volver a fallar
I want to get up againQue me quiero volver a levantar
Tell him I paid dearly for my mistakeDile que he pagado caro mi error

I've tried to leave and there's no placeQue he intentado marcharme y no hay lugar
Where I can safely beA dónde yo seguro pueda estar
As under the shelter of my GodComo bajo el abrigo de mi Dios
Cry out for me before your Father LordClama por mi ante tu Padre Señor
Because you are my special lawyerPor que tú eres mi abogado especial

Defend me, defend me LordDefiendeme, defiendeme Señor
