De tal manera

Here I am again
trying to get into your heart
many times I have called you
and you haven't wanted to listen to me
if you only knew that I just want to help you
ah! Let me introduce myself, I am Jesus.

I am the one who died on the cross
to give you light and save you
today I want to talk about that
I want to tell you a well-known story
and I want you to listen because it's part of your life
I came into the world to fulfill a mission
to buy your salvation with my blood... Redemption
persecution, I had to endure
and today I keep suffering because you don't want to receive me
that's why I ask you (why)
why do you want to keep clinging to this world
why don't you come walk by my side
if only I can fill that deep void
why don't you want to accept me
I just want to help you
give me your hand because I want to walk with you
if I gave my whole life for you
it's because I love you in such a way... (that)

I didn't want to live without you
but for you, I chose to die
if you only knew how much I love you
I have wanted to choose you
just give me your being
and I will make you live

Come (don't delay) I am calling you
for a long time I have been doing it
and you have almost done it and I keep waiting for you
everything will be better if you come with me
in me, you will find the best and true friend
if you want eternal life, don't look for another way
just trust in me because I have already done everything
I paid the highest price for you
and please, I ask you not to hurt me with your contempt
I don't want all that spilled blood
to mean nothing to you
see how they sculpted me, ignored me
I was beaten and a spear was thrust into my side
I was mocked with a crown of thorns
like a sinner without knowing sin
I gave you my body as a living sacrifice
cleansing your wickedness so you can be with me
listen to what I'm telling you
see how your life is wandering lost and senseless
I want to give you a new life (yes) just give me your heart

I didn't want to live without you
but for you, I chose to die
if you only knew how much I love you
I have wanted to choose you
just give me your being
and I will make you live

That's how it was, they spat on me, whipped me
they crucified me and I died but I conquered death
and on the third day, I rose again and that is the guarantee that very soon
but very soon, very soon.

I will soon return with my reward
to seek my people and I want you to be with me
I won't delay my coming as they say
I just hope that your life enters my fold
give me a chance
to teach you about life, truth, and happiness
I love you in such a way that I gave my life and I call you
tell me, what are you waiting for to come to me

I didn't want to live without you
but for you, I chose to die
if you only knew how much I love you
I have wanted to choose you
just give me your being
and I will make you live

I am the knight of the cross
and I will never, never force you to accept me
but here I am at the door, knocking
if you open to me, I will come in and dine with you

(in the background of the previous stanza)
but for you, I chose to die
if you only knew how much I love you
I have wanted to choose you
just give me your being
and I will make you live
