 Enseñame (Teach Me) lyrics

Enseñame, enseñame hoy a comprender lo que es el amor.

Enseñame, oh mi Señor, a ser de ti fiel imitador.

Que no escatimaste a tu hijo Jesus, mas lo entregaste a morir en la cruz//

u-u-u//

 Enseñame a olvidar.  Ayudame a perdonar.

Quiero aprender de ti esa forma de amar.

De tal manera fue, me quisiste salvar.

Y no escatimaste a tu hijo Jesus, mas lo entregaste a morir en la cruz//

Cuando nos viste en nuestro pecado, cautivos por la maldad

tu decidiste enviar a tu hijo para darnos libertad, 

para darnos la luz u-u-u///

Enseñame (Teach Me) lyrics translated

Teach me, teach me today, to understand what love is.

Teach me, oh my Lord, to be a faithful imitator of you.

You did not spare your son Jesus, but gave Him up so he would die on the cross.//

oooh-oooh-ooooh//

Teach me how to forget.  Help me to forgive.

I want to learn from you the way you love.

You did it in such a way that you came to save me.

You did not spare your son Jesus, but gave Him up so he would die on the cross.//

When you saw in our sins, captivated my evil

you decided to send your child to give us freedom,

to give us light.  oooh-oooh-oooh-// 

I do not recall the exact moment  when I wrote this song, or the circumstance it came out of.  I do remember, however, that by the time we started recording it at the end of 2012 this song had become a prayer that I desperately sung from the bottom of my heart.  It was near the end of my second pregnancy, which was a very trying time for me.  Going through not only the physical effects of motherhood, but also some unexpected complications along with very emotional episodes, all I wanted was for God to give me strength to make it to the delivery room.  Honestly, I  could not see much more beyond that, but I figured if God allowed me to love long enough to give birth, He would also need to give me the strength to cope, to forgive and to love again.
