For Gloria

Good morning,

I met a delightful lady while in Peru.  Her name is Gloria, and her son, Cesar, is the leader of Zona Zegura, in Cusco.  She requested that I post the lyrics to one of the songs I sang in Peru, the one I sang at Zona Zegura's leadership retreat in Pisaq.

The English song lyrics were written by my friend, Alison Everill. The Spanish translation was done by my friend, Danny Smith.  I'm also indebted to Gladys Galindez, my friend and sister in Christ, who helped me rehearse.  Otherwise, what I sang would have likely sounded like gibberish.  Our generous and kind worship leader at FBC Canton recorded the accompaniment tracks, which (although my playing is nowhere nearly as good as Alison's) allowed me to sing unhindered.  Thank you, Aaron!!

Amazed

Asombrado/a

Verse 1:

There was a time I stood outside the holy place

Una vez estaba fuera del lugar sagrado

Wretched and blind, desperately reaching out for grace

Miserable y ciego/a, desesperadamente tratando de alcanzar la misericordia

I could not come before the most high and holy Lord

No pude venir delante del Señor altísmimo y santísimo

There was never any hope

Sin ninguna esperanza

There at the mercy seat, You met my deepest need

Allá en el propiciatorio, Tú me diste para mi necesidad más profunda

The pure and perfect One

El Puro y El Perfecto

Tore the veil so I could come

Rompió el velo para que pudiera entrar

Chorus:

Sometimes I dance

A veces bailo

Sometimes I bow

A veces me humillo

Sometimes I run into Your presence

A veces corro hacia Tu presencia

And I don't know how

Y no sé cómo

You love me still

Tú puedes amarme todavía

Knowing my shame

Cuando sabes mi pecado

I come to offer up this meager life You died to save

Vengo para ofrecerte esta vida miserable que Tú moriste para salvar

Oh, but most of all

Pero, más que todo

I come amazed

Vengo asombrado/a

Verse 2: 

And when I think of all the times You've drawn me near

Y cuando pienso en cuando Tú te has acercado a mí

There at your feet I've shared my hopes my dreams, my fears

A Tus pies, he compartido contigo mis esperanzas, mis sueños, mi temores

And, Oh, where do I begin, my dear and precious friend

Y, ¿cómo puedo empezar?, mi querido y precioso amigo

There is comfort in Your arms

Hay consolación en Tus brazos

And there in Your embrace, beholding Your lovely face

Y abrazándote, mirando Tu cara preciosa

My heart has found a home

Mi corazón ha encontrado su hogar

I will worship You alone

A Ti Solo Te alabaré.

Bridge:

I'm amazed

Asombrado/a

By Your mercy

Por Tu misericordia

I'm amazed

Asombrado/a

By Your love

Por Tu amor

Father, thank you for Gloria and for other new friends from Peru.  Thank you for my very gifted, anointed friend, Alison, who graciously allowed me to have translated and to perform her song in Pisaq, to share Your amazing love with the Zona Zegura believers.  Please continue to bless her ministry and use all of us only for Your honor and glory!  Soli Deo Gloria!  In Jesus' name, amen.
