I will love You Lord forever
My lips will always sing Your name
From deep inside I feel it rising
Come glorify the Lord with me

Delivered me from all my fears
With hearts wide open, our faces shining
Our shame is gone as You draw near

Pruebo y veo que eres bueno
Me escondo dentro de tu amor
En tu presencia nada me falta
Eres todo lo que quiero y estás aquí conmigo

Con corazones bien abiertos, nuestras caras brillando
Nuestra vergüenza se ha ido a medida que te acercas

Mighty Name of Jesus

I pray into the atmosphere
Spirit of God, You're here
You have all authority
I pray over my heart and mind
I am healed by Your stripes
Your blood declares that I am free

In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray
Calling on the power of Heaven, I proclaim
Every weapon formed against me, it must break
In the mighty name of Jesus

I draw a permanent boundary line
The enemy has no rights
To come near my family
No scheme could ever undo God's plans
No matter the circumstance
The cross has sealed my destiny

Oh, in the mighty name of Jesus, I pray
Calling on the power of Heaven, I proclaim
That every weapon formed against me must break
In the mighty name of Jesus

In the mighty name of Jesus, oh, I know
That all the power of fear and darkness must go
Every key to every victory, I hold
In the mighty name of Jesus

I will not fear, I will not fear
When the enemy comes near
On the door frame of my life
Is the blood of Jesus Christ
Oh, I will not fear, I will not fear
There's an army of angels here
I'm protected on all sides
By the blood of Jesus Christ

Oh, I will not fear, I will not fear
When the enemy comes near
Oh, on the door frame of my whole life
Is the blood of Jesus Christ
Oh, I will not fear, I will not fear
There's an army of angels here
I'm protected on all sides
By the name of Jesus Christ

In the mighty name of Jesus, oh, I pray
Calling on the power of Heaven, I proclaim
That every weapon formed against me (oh, it has to break) must break
In the mighty name of Jesus

Oh, in the mighty name of Jesus, oh, I know
That all the power of fear and darkness (it has to go) must go
And every key to every victory, oh, I hold
In the mighty name of Jesus
It's in the mighty name of Jesus (of Jesus, oh)
It's in the mighty name of Jesus

El Poderoso Nombre de Jesus

Oro en esta atmosfera
Tu espíritu esta aqui
En ti hay autoridad
Te doy mi mente y mi corazón
Por tus llagas sano soy
Tu sangre me dio la libertad

En el poderoso nombre de Jesus
Y en el poder del cielo clamare
Ningun arma en mi contra vencera
El poderoso nombre de Jesus

El enemigo nunca tendrá poder ni autoridad
Sobre mi familia y hogar
Nada podrá deshacer el plan
Que para mi escrito esta
Su cruz sello mi eternidad

En el poderoso nombre de Jesus
Y en el poder del cielo clamare
Ningun arma en mi contra vencer
El poderoso nombre de Jesus
En el poderoso nombre de Jesus
El temor y las tinieblas se van
En batallas la victoria me da
El poderoso nombre de Jesus

No temere, no temere
Lo que venga frente a mi
En la puerta de mi hogar
La sangre de cristo esta
No temere, no temere
Porque siempre estaré
Cubierto a mi alrededor
Por la sangre del Señor

Lord I Need You

Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here, I find my rest
Without You, I fall apart
You're the one that guides my heart

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand, I'll fall on You
Jesus, You're my hope and stay

Lord, WE need You, oh, WE need You
Every hour, WE need You
OUR one defense, OUR righteousness
Oh God, how WE need You

Lord, WE need You, oh, WE need You
Every hour, WE need You
OUR one defense, OUR righteousness
Oh God, how WE need You

You're OUR one defense, OUR righteousness
Oh God, how OUR need You

My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Señor Te Necesito

Aquí estoy, vengo a Tus pies
Ante Ti encuentro paz
Yo sin Ti, no soy capaz
Sólo Tu me guiarás

Oh, Señor, te necesito
Es por Ti que vivo
Mi Defensor, mi Salvador

En tentación, Tu gracia es más
Donde hay amor, allí Tu estás
Donde Tu estás, hay libertad
Cristo en mi, es santidad

Oh, Señor, te necesito
Es por Ti que vivo
Mi Defensor, mi Salvador
Dios, te necesito

Que mi canción sea para Ti
Cuando esté en tentación
Cuando flaqueo, descanso en Ti
Mi esperanza eres, Señor

Oh, Señor, te necesito
Es por Ti que vivo
Mi Defensor, mi Salvador
Dios, te necesito
Mi Defensor, mi Salvador
Dios, te necesito

Mi Defensor, mi Salvador
Dios, te necesito
