1 Cristo, tu santo amor,
Diste a mi;
Nada a ti, Señor,
Te niego aquí.
Me postro en gratitud,
Cumplo con prontitud,
Me obliga tu actitud,
Me rindo a ti.

2 Ante el trono estoy,
Ruega por mí,
Cristo, al Padre voy,
Solo por ti.
La cruz podré llevar,
Tu amor ya proclamar,
Un canto dulce alzar,
Algo por ti.

3 Un corazón de amor,
Quiero Jesús,
Como el tuyo, Señor,
Lleno de luz;
A ti poder servir,
El tiempo redimir,
Las almas dirigir,
Algo por ti.

4 Lo que yo tengo y soy,
Por tu favor,
Alegre o triste voy,
Tuyo, Señor.
Tu rostro yo veré,
Contigo estaré,
Y siempre yo seré,
Algo por ti.
