the passion wrapped around lent


it can't be ignored and vanished...and you can't wear a smile thinking about that time when they killed your saviour..."pescadores de hombres" fishers of men, that should be Jesus and His apostles :)

during this lenten season we are reminded that we won't live forever. that at anytime, at any age, death may come. but Jesus conquered death and was resurrected on Easter. the ultimate triumph over death. there is hope :> as long as we have faith in our God. we win with Him no matter what road block may come our way :) God is good never forget that...

LORD, WHEN YOU CAME TO THE SEASHORE / PESCADOR DES HOMBRES
by Cesareo Gabarain

1. Lord, when you came to the seashore you weren't seeking the wise or the wealthy, but only asking that I might follow.

REFRAIN (English): O Lord, in my eyes you were gazing, Kindly smiling, my name you were saying; All I treasured, I have left on the sand there; Close to you, I will find other seas.

REFRAIN (Spanish): Señor me has mirado a los ojos, sonriendo has dicho mi nombre, en la rena he dejado mi barca, junto a ti buscaré otro mar.

2. Lord, you knew what my boat carried: neither money nor weapons for fighting, but nets for fishing my daily labor. (REFRAIN)

3. Lord, have you need of my labor, hands for service, a heart made for loving, my arms for lifting the poor and broken? (REFRAIN)

4. Lord, send me where you would have me, to a village, or heart of the city; I will remember that you are with me. (REFRAIN)
