Omnipotente Padre Dios

Representative Text

1 Omnipotente Padre Dios,

2 Danos la fe que dio poder

¡Hasta la muerte, en Cristo estén

3 Danos la fe que dé valor
Para enfrentarnos con el mal,
Y por palabra y por acción
Buen testimonio siempre dar,
¡Hasta la muerte, en Cristo estén
Nuestra esperanza y nuestra fe!
