El Reloj

My soul was asleep
And in darkness it was
Day and night I lived like this
Without hope and without God

But one morning
When I was more asleep
The clock sounded its alarm
And I woke up from the dream

The clock has sounded its alarm
And has awakened in my soul
There are no more nights in my days
I woke up from the dream

Now I live joyful days
Days of joy and complete calm
Because my clock is Christ
And forever lives in my being

The tick-tock is announcing
Every passing second
In its sound it tells me
That I must be awake

And if sleep overcomes me
Its alarm returns and sounds
And so when Christ returns
He will find me awake

The clock has sounded its alarm
And has awakened in my soul
There are no more nights in my days
I woke up from the dream

Now I live joyful days
Days of joy and complete calm
Because my clock is Christ
And forever lives in my being

His wait is not stained
It remains clean and clear
His hands indicate us
The time to give back

For those who have watched
And patiently await Him
So brother, do not sleep
If you want to go with Him

The clock has sounded its alarm
And has awakened in my soul
There are no more nights in my days
I woke up from the dream

Now I live joyful days
Days of joy and complete calm
Because my clock is Christ
And forever lives in my being

The clock has sounded its alarm
And has awakened in my soul
There are no more nights in my days
I woke up from the dream

Now I live joyful days
Days of joy and complete calm
Because my clock is Christ
And forever lives in my being

Because my clock is Christ
And forever lives in my being
