Oh, Señor, procuro en vano

Representative Text

1 Oh, Señor, procuro en vano
mi conducta reformar,
pues ningún poder humano
santidad me puede dar.
Es mi vida de pecado
diaria ofensa para ti,
pero mi alma ha confiado
en tu sangre carmesí.

2 En tu reino hay plena vida,
santidad y perfección;
sólo el alma renacida
entrará en su comunión.
Mira, pues, mi insuficiencia,
muestra en mí tu gran poder;
manifiesta tu clemencia
y de nuevo hazme nacer.
