Una Llaga Podrida
La Cruz NorteÑa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Una llaga podrida era mi vida

Una llaga podrida era mi vida
Y tirado entre la basura tú me encontraste

Y ahí extendíste tu mano y me levantaste
Para curar mis heridas que con tu amor me sanaste

Malagradecido fueras tú
Si a mí Cristo dejaras
Pero que cobarde fuera yo
Sí de aquí me regresara

Estoy a medio camino de la jornada
Para llegar a Canaán
Dónde será mi morada

Perdona señor Jesucristo Fui desobediente
Y quisiera explicarte con llanto lo que mi alma siente

Quisiera decirles que sanas a toda la gente
Que has transformado mi vida y ahora soy diferente

Malagradecido fueras tú
Sí a mí Cristo dejarás
Pero que cobarde fuera yo
Sí De aquí me regresará
Estoy a medio camino de la jornada

Para llegar a Canaán
Dónde será mi morada
