Sunday Song - Cristo Te Necesita para Amar

"Christ needs you." 

Isn't that a surprising statement? Jesus multiplied loaves and fishes, he turned water into wine, and he took his nighttime strolls on the surface of the Sea of Galilee. What does he need me for? 

He needs us to love. The English translation doesn't measure up to the Spanish. The songs is really saying Christ needs us to be able to love. We've heard it said that God has no hands but our hands, no feet but our feet. This song says God has no hearts but our hearts. Translation after the jump.

Cristo te necesita para amar, para amar Cristo te necesita para amar (bis) Coro No te importe la raza ni el color de la piel, Ama a todos como hermanos y haz el bien (bis) Al que sufre y al triste dale amor, dale amor Al humilde y al pobre dale amor (bis) Al que vive a tu lado dale amor, dale amor, Al que viene de lejos dale amor (bis) Al que habla otra lengua dale amor, dale amor Al que piensa distinto dale amor (bis) Al amigo de siempre dale amor, dale amor Al que no te saluda dale amor (bis)

Christ needs you to love, to love Christ needs you to love. (twice) Chorus Don’t worry about race or skin color, Love everyone as brothers/sisters  and do good To the suffering and the sad give love, give them love To the humble and the poor give love To the one who lives by your side give love, give them love, To the one who comes from afar give love To the one who speaks a different language give love, give them love To the one who thinks differently give love To the friend from forever give love, give them love To the one who doesn’t greet you give love.
