"Te vengo a decir" is an Evangelical hymn composed by Juan Isáis. "Un dia a la vez" is a reinterpretation of the Christian country song "One Day at a Time" written by Marijohn Wilkin and Kris Kristofferson, translated into Spanish by Monseñor Juan Nicolau.

Te vengo a decir, te vengo a decir
oh mi Salvador
que yo te amo a ti, que yo te amo a ti
con el corazón.

Te vengo a decir, te vengo a decir
toda la verdad,
que te amo Señor, te adoro Señor
con el corazón.

Necesitada me encuentro, Señor.
Ayudame a ver;
yo quiero saber lo que debo hacer.
Muestra el camino
que debo seguir.
Señor, por mi bien
yo quiero vivir un dia a la vez.

Un dia a la vez, mi Cristo
es lo que pido de ti.
Dame las fuerzas para vivir
un dia a la vez.

Tu ya vivistes entre los hombres.
Tu sabes Señor que hoy está peor.
Es mucho el dolor;
hay mucho egoismo y mucho maldad.
Señor por mi bien yo quiero vivir
un dia a la vez.
I come to tell you, I come to tell you
oh my Savior
that I love you, that I love you
with all my heart.

I come to tell you, I come to tell you
the whole truth,
that I love you Lord, I adore you Lord
with all my heart.

I find myself in need, Lord.
Help me to see;
I want to know what I must do.
Show me the path
that I must follow.
Lord, for my own good
I want to live one day at a time.

One day at a time, my Christ
is what I ask of you.
Give me the strength to live
one day at a time.

You already lived among men.
You know Lord, today things are worse.
There is so much pain;
so much selfishness and so much evil.
Lord, for my own good I want to live
one day at a time.
