Vil

I was not called because I was worthyNo fui llamado por ser digno
Neither by my strength, nor by my voiceNi por mis fuerzas, ni mi voz
It was in my brokenness that you sawFue en mi quebranto donde viste
A heart thirsting for GodUn corazón sediento de Dios

Like David before giantsComo David ante gigantes
Like Moses with his stutterComo Moisés con su tartamudez
You took what the world despisesTomaste lo que el mundo desprecia
And you filled it with your powerY lo llenaste de tu poder

You used vile things, LordUsaste lo vil, Señor
To show your lovePara mostrar tu amor
You took my nothingTomaste mi nada
And you made me a bearerY me hiciste portador
Of your glory, your truthDe tu gloria, tu verdad
Of the eternal and celestialDe lo eterno y celestial
If you use meSi me usas a mí
It's only because of your kindnessEs solo por tu bondad

I was like Peter in his denialFui como Pedro en su negación
I was like Saul before I saw the lightFui como Saulo antes de ver la luz
But your grace, more than my mistakePero tu gracia, más que mi error
He gave me a new name on the crossMe dio un nombre nuevo en la cruz

You did not choose the strong or the wiseNo elegiste al fuerte ni al sabio
You chose the fallen and the forgottenEscogiste al caído y al olvidado
And now my story is a testamentY ahora mi historia es testimonio
That your power is perfected in vile thingsDe que tu poder se perfecciona en lo vil

You used vile things, LordUsaste lo vil, Señor
To show your lovePara mostrar tu amor
You took my downfallTomaste mi ruina
And you gave me an addressY me diste dirección
You made an altar out of weaknessDe lo débil hiciste altar
From foolishness, your signDe lo necio, tu señal
If you use meSi me usas a mí
It is your grace without endEs tu gracia sin final
