Perdoname Dios (Pardon Me God) Lyrics
God in Heaven hear my prayer
For the suffering here below
Of the innocent and pure
And the many without hope.
I am just a simple man
Still believing in a dream
Of a world that's ruled by love
Only You can intervene.
Chorus
Perdoname Dios
Do You hear my cry?
Perdoname Dios
Can I ask You why
This world's cruel injustice never seems to cease?
With pity and mercy, heed this prayer for peace.
Perdoname, Perdoname
Perdoname Dios.
I see love in many things
In the mountains and the sky
In a flower as it blooms
In a newborn baby's cry.
But there are also broken hearts,
Warring nations, ruined lands,
Desperate families torn apart.
Lord, help me to understand.
Chorus
Oh Lord, we need Your light to see us through
So let it shine so brightly that it leads us back to You.
NOTES:
By David Phelps
It takes a lot of courage and honesty to admit that we don't always have to have the answers to questions that we ask, because we think answers tend to validate what we think and believe. But sometimes we are the most legitimate when we admit we just don't know why certain things happen. The Chorus of this song means, "Pardon me God, do you hear my cry? Can I ask you why?" This world is so full of suffering that never seems to cease, such an odd dichotomy when you compare that to the love that is so certainly in our lives too. Sometimes it's good just to admit that life doesn't always make sense, and let God hear our prayer for peace and understanding.
