El Que Muere Por Me (Schoenstatt Song)

It all began on a cross
Where a man died and a God surrendered
Silently death arrived
Extinguishing the light that drowned in a scream

Seeing his face of pain
A mother cried and a friend fell silent
But being a delivery of love
His path continued and somewhere else
A light was lit

Being man, friend, slave, and master
Being a heavy burden, teacher, and apprentice
He gave even his body in the bread and in the wine

Since then I have seen him walk by my side
That God who humbles himself and dies for me
He is the boat on my shore, the noise of silence
Approaching his child and embracing me happily
Approaching his child and embracing me happily

Seeing a humble calvary
With a tired face he bears the cross
And seeing me praying at his feet
He forgets himself, takes me in his hands
And welcomes me again

Being fire, dove, water, and wind
Being an innocent child, a Father and Shepherd
Today he accepts my offering, he is my life, Lord

Since then I have seen him walk by my side
That God who humbles himself and dies for me
He is the boat on my shore, the noise of silence
Approaching his child and embracing me happily
Approaching his child and embracing me happily

And if now I accept this cross
It is for that person, that God
It is for Christ, Jesus

Since then I have seen him walk by my side
That God who humbles himself and dies for me
He is the boat on my shore, the noise of silence
Approaching his child and embracing me happily
Approaching his child and embracing me happily
