1. Lord, you have come to the lakesore looking neither for wealthy or wise ones,
you only asked me to follow humbly.
O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me,
and while smiling have spoken my name;
now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me;
by your side I will seek other seas.
 
1.Tú has venido a la orilla, no has buscado ni a sabios ni a ricos, tan sólo quieres que yo te siga.
Señor, me has mirado a los ojos y sonriendo has dicho mi nombre;
En la arena he dejado mi barca; junto a ti buscaré otro mar.
 
2. You know so well my possessions;
my boat carries no gold and no weapons;
you will find there my nets and labor.
O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me,
and while smiling have spoken my name;
now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me;
by your side I will seek other seas.
 
2. Tú sabes bien lo que tengo: en mi barca no hay oro ni espadas, tan sólo redes y mi trabajo.
Señor, me has mirado a los ojos y sonriendo has dicho mi nombre;
En la arena he dejado mi barca; junto a ti buscaré otro mar.”
 
3. You need my hands, full of caring
through my labors to give others rest,
and constant love that keeps on loving.
O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me,
and while smiling have spoken my name;
now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me;
by your side I will seek other seas.
 
3. Tú necesitas mis manos, mi cansancio que a otros descanse,
amor que quiera seguir amando.
Señor, me has mirado a los ojos y sonriendo has dicho mi nombre;
En la arena he dejado mi barca; junto a ti buscaré otro mar.”
 
4. You, who have fished other oceans,
ever longed for by souls who are waiting,
my loving friend, as thus you call me. 
O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me,
and while smiling have spoken my name;
now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me;
by your side I will seek other seas.
 
4. Tú, pescador de otros mares, ansia eterna de almas que esperan,
amigo bueno, que así me llamas.
Señor, me has mirado a los ojos y sonriendo has dicho mi nombre;
En la arena he dejado mi barca; junto a ti buscaré otro mar.”

21 Later the following events took place: Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard in Jezreel beside the palace of King Ahab of Samaria. ² And Ahab said to Naboth, “Give me your vineyard, so that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near my house; I will give you a better vineyard for it, or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its value in money.” ³ But Naboth said to Ahab, “The Lord forbid that I should give you my ancestral inheritance.”

Sent out in Jesus’ name, our hands are ready now to
make the earth the place in which the kingdom comes.
 
The angels cannot change a world of hurt and pain
into a world of love, of justice and of peace.  The
task is ours to do, to set it really free.  O help us
to obey and carry out your will.
 
Enviado soy de Dios, mi mano lista está para
construir con Él un mundo fraternal.
Enviado soy de Dios, mi mano lista está para
construir con Él un mundo fraternal.
 
Los ángeles no son enviados a cambiar un mundo
de dolor por un mundo de paz. Me ha tocado a mí
hacerlo realidad; ajúdame, Señor, ahacer
tu voluntad.
