La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
I come to you, oh god, in the stillness of my heart
I need your healing and your voice in the stillness of my heart
Speak to me and show me who you are
rescue me with your unfailing love and mercy
speak to me and show me who you are
Hold me tightly in your arms and never let me go
I hear you calling out my name in the stillness of my heart
your grace is given me again, now I open my heart
I remember singing praises to your name every day with all my might
How I long to sing to you again
