Ah! Filho Meu Pequenino

Ah, my little son
I've heard you cry
Here at the door I call you, let me in
I know sometimes you're cold
Let me wrap you up
Let me also quench your thirst
Let me take upon myself
The anxieties of your fear
And all the bitterness of your pain

My hands bear wounds so deep
That I've held so much sorrow
From all the pain, shame, and sin
I was crowned to save you

Ah, my son, didn't you know?
I came here for you
Your pains I felt before in me
If today the world confronts you
It first confronted me
I endured it all in silence until the end
But my silence still echoes
And speaks to the heart
Of those who need and seek comfort

My hands bear wounds so deep
That I've held so much sorrow
From all the pain, shame, and sin
I was crowned to save you
