I Have Been There

He Estado Allí

I Have Been There

En una habitación sin vista, una nueva madre sonríe y sostieneIn a room without a view, a new mother smiles and holds
los diminutos dedos de su recién nacida niña.the tiny fingers of her brand new baby girl.
Su esposo la toma de la mano, tan inseguro sobre el futuroHer husband takes her by the hand, so unsure about the future
sin dinero, ¿podrán lograrlo en este mundo?have no money can they make it in this world?
Y rezan, Señor, todo lo que tenemos para dar es amorAnd they pray, Lord all we have to give is love
entonces escucharon una voz suave como un eco desde arriba,then they heard a gentle voice like an echo from above,

He estado allí. Sé de qué se trata el miedo.I have been there. I know what fear is all about.
Sí, he estado allí y estoy aquí contigo ahora.Yes, I have been there and I'm standing with you now.
He estado allíI have been there
Y vine a construir el puente para que este camino te lleve a casa.And I came to build the bridge oh so this road could lead you home.
Oh, he estado allí.Oh I have been there.

Ha sido pastor durante veinte añosHe's been a pastor twenty years
pero esta noche se sienta solo y desolado en un rincón de la iglesia.but tonight he sits alone and broken hearted in the corner of the church
Intentó cambiar un mundo caídoHe tried to change a fallen world
con sus palabras y su sabiduría, pero parece que solo empeora.with his words and with his wisdom but it seems like it is only getting worse
Y llora, Oh Señor, simplemente no entiendoAnd he cries, Oh Lord I just don't understand
Entonces sintió la mano de la gracia, y escuchó una voz que dijo,Then he felt the hand of grace, and he heard a voice that said
