El Escogió los Clavos - Fernanda Brum translation in English

El Escogió los Clavos

Qué llevaría a un padre
A entregar y dar la vida
De su própio hijo?
¿Lo que llevaría a un hijo
A obedecer a su padre
Y entregarse a la muerte?
Aún siendo Dios se donó
De la cruz no huyó
El me amo de tal manera
Que escogió los clavos

La mano que sostuvo el martillo
Era la mano de Dios
Los clavos que hirieron su cuerpo
Eran los suyos y míos

He Chose the Nails

What would lead a father
To give and to give the life
Of his own son?
What would lead a son
To obey his father
And to surrender himself to death?
Still being God he gave Himself
He didn't run away from the cross
He loved me so much
That he chose the nails

The hand that held the hammer
Was the hand of God
The nails that wounded his body
Were his and mine
