Spanish
Verse 1
Enviado soy de Dios,
mi mano lista está
para construir con El
un mundo fraternal. (repeat)
Refrain
Los ángeles no son enviados acambiar
un mundo de dolor por un mundo de paz.
Me ha tocado a m hacerlo realidad;
ayúdame, Señor, a hacer tu voluntad.

Verse 1
I am sent by God,
I’m ready to serve;
to make the world a place
of justice and shalom. (repeat)
Verse 2
We are sent by God,
we’re ready to serve,
to make the world a place
of justice and shalom. (repeat)
Refrain
The angels cannot do the work that must be done,
to change a hurting world into a world of peace.
The task is giv’n to us to build a better world.
Please help us, God to do the things you ask of me.
