Tú estabas allí

AVALON – YOU WERE THERE (Letra en Inglés)

I wonder how it must have felt
when David stood to face Goliath on a hill
I imagine that he shook with all his might
until You took his hand, and held on tight.

‘Cause You were there, You were there
in the midst of danger’s snare
You were there, You were there always.
You were there when the hardest fight
seemed so out of reach
Oh!, You were there, You were always there
You were always there.

So there he stood upon that hill
Abraham with knife in hand was poised to kill
but God in all his sovereignty had bigger plans
and just in time, You brought a lamb.

‘Cause You were there, You were there
in the midst of the unclear
You were there, you were there always.
You were there when obedience
seemed to not make sense
You were there, You were always there
You were always there.

So haven’t I learned that my ways
aren’t as high as Yours are
and You alone keep the universe
from crumbling into dust
You are God and though we would
not have understood You
There You were.

Hanging blameless on a cross
You would rather die than leave us in the dark
every moment, every planned coincidence
just all makes sense
with Your last breath.

You were there, You were there
during history’s darkest hour
You were there, You were there always

You were the Victor and the King
You were the power in David’s swing
You were the calm in Abraham
You are the God who understands
You are the strength when we have none
You are the living, Holy one
You were, You are and You will always be
the Risen Lamb of God

You were, You are and You will always be
the Risen Lamb of God

AVALON – YOU WERE THERE (Letra traducida al Español – con algunas licencias para mejorar el efecto dramático -)

Me pregunto como se debió haber sentido David
cuando en el monte encaró a Goliath
imagino que se sintió atenazado ante su tamaño
hasta que tomaste su mano y la sostuviste firme.

Porque Tú estabas allí, Tú estabas allí
en medio de la peligrosa emboscada.
Tú estabas allí, Tú estuviste allí siempre.
Tú estabas allí cuando la batalla más dura
parecía imposible de ganar.
¡Oh!, Tú estabas allí, Tú siempre estuviste allí
Tú siempre estuviste allí.

Allí de pié sobre la colina estaba Abraham
cuchillo en mano para matar [a su propio hijo]
pero Dios en toda su magnanimidad tenía planes mejores
y justo a tiempo, pusiste un cordero [en su lugar].

Porque Tú estabas allí, Tú estabas allí
en medio de todas las dudas
Tú estabas allí, Tú estuviste allí siempre
Tú estabas allí cuando la obediencia
no parecía tener sentido
Tú estabas allí, Tú siempre estuviste allí.
Tú siempre estuviste allí.

Todavía no he aprendido que mis maneras
no son tan perfectas como lo son las tuyas
y solo Tú guardas al universo
de deshacerse en cenizas
Tú eres Dios y aunque
no te hubiéramos entendido
allí estabas Tú.

Un inocente colgado en una cruz
preferiste morir a dejarnos en la oscuridad
cada momento, cada coincidencia planeada
toma sentido
con tu último aliento.

Tú estabas allí, Tú estabas allí
durante la hora más oscura de la historia
Tú estabas allí, Tú estuviste allí siempre
Tú fuiste Victoria y Majestad
Tú fuiste la fuerza en la honda de David
Tú fuiste la calma de Abraham
Tú eres Dios que todo lo sabe
Tú eres la fuerza en nuestra flaqueza
Tú eres el único que es Santo y vives.
Tú fuiste, eres y serás, el Cordero de Dios Resucitado.
Tú fuiste, eres y serás, el Cordero de Dios Resucitado.
