Credo
Luis Enrique Mejía Godoy
Creed
I believe in you, Christ the worker
Light of light and true
Only begotten of God who to save the world
Was incarnated in the humble and pure womb of Mary.
I believe you were beaten
Tortured with scorn
Martyred on the cross
Being Pilate the prefect.
The imperialist Roman
Treacherous and heartless
Who, washing his hands
Wanted to erase his mistake.
I believe in you architect, engineer,
Craftsman, carpenter, bricklayer and shipbuilder;
I believe in you builder of thought,
Of music and wind, of peace and love.
I believe in you companion,
Human Christ, working Christ
Victor over death with immense sacrifice
You engendered the new man for liberation.
God is resurrecting
In every raised arm
To defend the people
From the exploitative demon.
Because you are alive in the ranch,
In the factory, in the school;
I believe in your relentless struggle
I believe in your resurrection;
Because you are alive in the ranch,
In the factory, in the school;
I believe in your relentless struggle
I believe in your resurrection.
I believe in you architect, engineer,
Craftsman, carpenter, bricklayer and shipbuilder;
I believe in you builder of thought,
Of music and wind, of peace and love.
