Altas Madrugadas

Change me from within
For You know who I am
Change my thoughts
For You know how I live
Change my heart
For sadness takes over
Change my soul and spirit
For they are far from You

When I sleep it's just anguish
And when I wake up despair hits
In the middle of the night
And then sleep goes away
And fear falls upon me
And I shout: -And now?
The time then doesn't pass
And the cold of the night
Then approaches
And the night doesn't end
And now what am I going to do
For God to appear?
I close my eyes and stay quiet

The night soon changes, I hear a voice saying I am here
And then I hear my name and don't understand Jesus passed by here
And it takes a little while to realize
That Jesus passed by here
Just so I wouldn't die
He passed, spoke to me, and gave me shelter
And immediately everything changed
Upon hearing His voice everything dissipates
And the fear of my soul I search for and it's no longer there
The Devil even prepares to attack in the early hours
But at that moment Jesus appears
And Hell trembles He comes saying no
I won't be able to get up from the ground
But at that moment Jesus appears
Extending His hand
And then Hell retreats
Jehovah then helps to follow the path
"And what path is this I tell you now"

Thorny path is the path to heaven
This path to see, the guard of Israel
He always made it clear
That it wouldn't be easy but be faithful with Me for I am your friend
The devil may try, but he can't stop you
He may try to play tricks, but I will help you
The enemy won't stop you because the Lion of the Tribe of Judah
Is with you in the late nights
