Armemonos de Valor Lyrics in Spanish

He visto al caído llorar amargamente, escondido en la soledad por no poder sostenerse.

He visto a mas de un hermano sufriendo por el amor que todos le retiraron en la congregación.

He visto al triste callar toda su tristeza, pues ya nadie quiere escuchar, a nadie le interesa.

Y anhela poder hallar en su angustia un hermano, amigo que ama en todo tiempo y le extiende su mano.

Armemonos de valor que ya termine esta división, vamos a restaurar, pues esa es la visión//

Por ahí llegue a escuchar de alguien sediento de Cristo que nunca se pudo enterar de ese gran sacrificio, 

y un pecador como yo que no tuvo el beneficio que yo si pude tener, pues nadie le enseñó el camino.

Armemonos de valor, no debe existir el miedo.  Vamos a predicar y guiar almas al cielo//

 

He visto volver atrás en el momento de luchas al que supo que tentaciones y pruebas son muchas,

y triste quiso callar y salir de la iglesia, sin mas nada que decir a su antigua vida regresa.

Armemonos de valor porque es del fuerte el reino de los cielos. 
Si somos valientes dice el Señor que lo arrebataremos.////

Armemonos de Valor Lyrics (translated)

I have seen the fallen cry bitterly, hidding in solitude for not being able to hold himself up.

I have seen more than one brother suffering because of the love that everyone in the congregation took back.

I have seen the troubled remain silent, for nobody wants to hear anymore, nobody cares. 

In the mids of his anguish he longs to find a brother, a friend that loves at all times and gives him a hand.

Let's take courage, let this estrangement end.  Let us restore because that is the vision//

I happenned to hear somewhere of someone thirsty of Christ that never got to find out of His great sacrifice,

and of a sinner, just like me that didn't get the benefit that I was able to find, for no one showed him the way.

Let us take courage, there should be no fear.  Let us preach and guide souls to heaven.

I have seen the turning back of him who realized that there were too many trials and temptations,

he sadly didn't speak up and just left the church.  With nothing more to say, he goes back to his past life.

Let's take courage, because the kingdom of God belongs to the strong.

If we are courageous, the lord said we will conquer it.////

The lyrics to Armemonos de Valor are aproximately 11 years old.  At the church I attended, and still attend there has been a custom of having a different department of the church lead a special service at the end of the month.  Each mont belongs to a certain department.  I this occasion, it was the youth's turn to prepare a special program.  At the time, I was the youth leader, therefore the planning of this service was my responsibility.  I had been a part of this congregation for 4 years, and had been listening and observing...always learning something new.  These lyrics were a reflection of happenings that I had sadly witnessed, or even accidently been a part of.  I know that this type of disinterest from one person to another may be very common, as each has their own worries to think about, but it just really bothered me that people who claimed to have the love of God would forget to love their neighbor.  This is what pushed me to write this song.  Only, it wasn't only a song.  This was the closing song for a musical play of three different scenes that touch on the subject of the need to look around and see who needs us love, help, and share the gospel with them.
