Un Lugar Celestial (English)
Jaci Velasquez · Heavenly Place
this spinning world is not my home
A place of mystery, a land of destiny
is where I know one day I'll go
I dream of beauty I have never seen
I know the arms of heaven wait for me
And yet I feel his sweetness here and now
In this life on earth, I have found
Un lugar celestial, just a little bit of heaven sent from above
Un lugar celestial, where the presence of my Father hold me in his love
Un lugar celestial
When all my skies are gray, I simply steal away
into my secret hiding place
When hearts are cold as ice, the breath of paradise
blows warm and gentle on my face
I know I need my time alone with him
His healing waters flowing deep within
Don't have to wish upon a distant star, cuz the light of love
fills my heart
Un lugar celestial, just a little bit of heaven sent from above
Un lugar celestial, where the presence of my Father hold me in his love
Un lugar celestial
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
El cielo me llama (Heaven is Calling me)
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Caminando el las nubes (Walking on the clouds)
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Dulce beso de libertad (Sweet kisses of liberty)
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Nubes de gloria (Clouds of glory)
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Un lugar celestial, just a little bit of heaven sent from above
Un lugar celestial, where the presence of my Father hold me in his love
Un lugar celestial
repeat
