My Church - Mi Iglesia

There are many anointed Christian music artists. There are many anointed songs. I recently came accross a song by Rene Gonzalez.

His site is www.renegonzalez.org .

His MySpace is www.myspace.com/renegonzalezmyspace .

He is a pastor in Puerto Rico. This particular song was recorded in 1999. It appears on his CD, 'Decada'.

I believe this song is a prophetic word to the church; not only in 1999, but today. Below are the lyrics in Spanish and my best translation in English. Following that, you will find a link a video with the song. Please read the words. Please watch the video. Enjoy the anointing. Heed the Word.

"Mi Iglesia"

Hace tanto tiempo yo compre una iglesia,
A precio de sangre entre crudo dolor.
Hace tanto tiempo que envie a mi Hijo,
Para rescatar lo que se perdió.

Hace tanto tiempo que estoy deseando
esa humilde entrega, De un adorador.
Que solo se postra ante mi presencia,
Y no a las ofertas de una posición.

Hace tanto tiempo que estoy deseando que
muestren mi imagen, Que es la del Amor.
Que no se confunde entre tante gente
Que sea distinta solo como Yo
Que no divida como suele aveces
entrando en contiendas, Y en discusión.
Buscando alcanzar ser mas grande que el otro,
Si en el universo el grande soy Yo,
Yo quiero una iglesia que me de la gloria,

Y procure la unión.

(CORO)

Yo quiero una iglesia, Que sane al herido,
Que rompa cadenas, Liberte al cautivo,
Que aclare la mente al que esta confundido
Y que hable verdad.

Yo quiero una iglesia, Que con su mirada,
Le brinde esperanza al alma angustiada,
Yo quiero una iglesia que sane la herida,

De la humanidad.
Yo quiero un rebaño donde mis ovejas
Se sientan seguras, y llenas de paz.
Donde mi palabra sea su alimento

Alli Quiero morar.

Yo quiero una iglesia que con su alabanza,
Perfume mi trono me de ese lugar.
Una iglesia que sepa hacer diferencia,
Entre el bien y el mal.

Donde esta la iglesia que fue perdonada,
Y que fue librada del castigo atróz.
Aquella que al ver si alguno ha caido,
Le extiende la mano y perdona su error.

Iglesia despierta ya llegó el momento
De tu redención.

Yo quiero una iglesia, Que sane al herido,
Que rompa cadenas, Liberte al cautivo,
Que aclare la mente al que esta confundido
Y que hable verdad.

Yo quiero una iglesia, Que con su mirada,
Le brinde esperanza al alma angustiada,
Yo quiero una iglesia que sane la herida,

De la humanidad.
Yo quiero un rebaño donde mis ovejas
Se sientan seguras, y llenas de paz.
Donde mi palabra sea su alimento

Alli Quiero morar.

"My Church"

So long ago I purchased a church

At the price of blood and severe pain.

So long ago I sent my Son,

To rescue that which was lost.

For so long I have desired

The humble offering of a worshipper

To only bow before my presence

And not before the offerings of a title

For so long I have desired that

They show my Image, which is of Love.

Not being confused with all the others,

But distinct like Me.

Not being divided as she is accustomed

To entering into contention and fights.

Not looking to be greater than another

If in the universe, the greatest I AM.

I want a church that gives me the Glory

And produces unity.

CHORUS

I want a church that heals the hurting

That breaks the chains, sets the captive free.

That clears the mind that is confused

And speaks truth.

I want a church, that with one look

Shines hope to the anguished soul

I want a church that heals the hurts

Of humanity

I want a flock where my sheep

Feel secure, and flooded with peace

Where my Word is their food

There I want to dwell.

Verse 2

I want a church that with its praise

Perfumes my throne. Give me that place!

A church that knows how to tell the difference

Between good and evil

Where is the church that was forgiven?

And was freed from their horrible punishment?

That one that saw one that was fallen

And extended a hand and forgave his sin?

Awake oh church; the moment of your

Redemption has arrived!

I want a church that heals the hurting

That breaks the chains, sets the captive free.

That clears the mind that is confused

And speaks truth.

I want a church, that with one look

Shines hope to the anguished soul

I want a church that heals the hurts

Of humanity

I want a flock where my sheep

Feel secure, and flooded with peace

Where my Word is their food

There I want to dwell.
