Why? [Spanish translation]

1. Why did they nail him to Calvary´s tree;

Why, tell me why was he there?

Jesus the helper, the healer, the friend,

Why, tell me why was he there?

CHORUS:

All my iniquities on him were laid;

He nailed them all to the tree.

Jesus, the debt of my sin fully paid,

He paid the ransom for me.

2. Why should he love me a sinner undone;

Why, tell me why should he care?

I do not merit the love he has shown.

Why, tell me why should he care?

3. Why should I linger afar from his love;

Why, tell me why should I fear?

Somehow I know I must venture and prove;

Why, tell me why should I fear?
