Libre De Egipto
Yo era un triste peregrino
que iba en busca de un amigo
que pudiera darme libertad;
fui esclavo por un tiempo
y en Egipto casi muerto
sin tener alguien a quién amar.
Me libraste de Egipto
me diste sus riquezas
todo por piedad;
luego diste a mi vida
nueva naturaleza
gloria a ti, Jehová
me has dado libertad
En un momento confundido
iba en busca de una meta
sin saber si era mala o era buena;
tropezándome con el frío
con las piedras del camino
buscando la paz dentro de la guerra.
Free From Egypt
I was a sad wanderer
looking for a friend
who could give me freedom;
I was a slave for a while
and in Egypt almost dead
without someone to love.
You freed me from Egypt
gave me its riches
all out of mercy;
then you gave my life
a new nature
glory to you, Jehovah
you have given me freedom.
In a confused moment
I was looking for a goal
not knowing if it was bad or good;
stumbling in the cold
with the stones on the road
seeking peace within the war.
