[English]

The sunlight

...

Fades when compared to your radiance

Your great power

Even the shine of a thousand suns cannot match it

Your perfection, the deepest source of my inspiration

Nothing on earth will compare

To the beauty of your majesty

Jesus, my faithful friend

There is no one like You

There is no expression

That can articulate your glory, your splendor

My worship

Attempts with words to describe your love

You are Jesus

Sublime poetry for my song

Nothing on earth will compare

To the beauty of your majesty

...

Jesus, my faithful friend

There is no one like You

...

Nothing on earth will compare

To the beauty of your majesty

Jesus, my faithful friend

There is no one like You

...

[Spanish]

La luz del sol

Se opaca al compararse con tu resplandor

Tu gran poder

Ni el brillo de mil soles lo podrá igualar

Tu perfección la fuente más profunda de mi inspiración

Nada en la tierra se comparará

Con la belleza de tu majestad

Jesús, mi amigo fiel

No hay nadie como Tú

No hay expresión

Que logre articular tu gloria, tu esplendor

Mi adoración

Intenta con palabras describir tu amor

Eres Jesús

Sublime poesía para mi canción

Nada en la tierra se comparará

Con la belleza de tu majestad

Jesús, mi amigo fiel

No hay nadie como Tú

Nada en la tierra se comparará

Con la belleza de tu majestad

Jesús, mi amigo fiel

No hay nadie como Tú
