No Tenemos Miedo

We did not receive the spirit of God
To continue living as slaves
But as adopted children of the Lord
He made us through his beloved son
And it is the spirit who today
Tells us in our hearts
Do not be afraid to be holy
He called us to his side
And summoned by his love
All united we sing

We are not afraid, no
We are not afraid, no

The evening falls, the day loses its glow
And fear grows among the shadows
But in the night the believer's heart
Awaits the brightness of dawn
So awake our love
Awaits the messenger of dawn
Of the day that is already coming
Today we are his sentinels
Witnesses of that new sun
Which is Jesus resurrected

And so in Christ we nurture hope
To build the civilization of love
God's love tips the scale
If he is by our side
Who can stand against us?

We are not afraid, no
We are not afraid, no

We can no longer, by the grace of the Lord
Remain indifferent
We can no longer resign ourselves to pain
To misery, to death
God invites us to illuminate
With our pastoral life
The realities in the shadows
And it is our commitment, our plan
To transform reality
With his presence and with your help

We are not afraid, no
We are not afraid, no

If in the balance of this world and its pain
More than love weigh the weapons
If the dollar rules, if war and oppression
Corner hope
There is still an opportunity
To truly take a stand
To not give up
There is a path to take
For the humble, for peace
For the truth of Jesus Christ

And so in Christ we nurture hope
To build the civilization of love
God's love tips the scale
If he is by our side
Who can stand against us?

We are not afraid, no
We are not afraid, no
