Está contigo es una canción que compuse en el 2008 (justo después de Creo en Dios) y quedó guardada por un tiempo. Gracias a la colaboración de mis hijas la hemos podido sacarla a la luz durante la pandemia del Covid 19, y es mi oración que Dios la use para animar y consolar a aquellos que de varias maneras están sufriendo, los que ya no tienen fuerzas para seguir ayudando, los que han visto a un ser amado irse al hospital y nunca regresar, los que lloran en la soledad, y muchos más. Ánimo, mi Jesús está contigo...
