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.
Most merciful god
We confess that we have sinned against you
Forgotten who we are
By what we have done
And what we have left undone
Most merciful god
We have not loved you with our whole hearts
We've not loved each other
As we have loved ourselves
This is my confession
Chorus
This is my confession
The profession of my faith
Do you see me falling
On my knees and to my face?
Reveal in me what i've concealed
And i'll turn from sin and you will heal me
And my house.
Most merciful god
We are truly sorry, and humbly repent
For the sake of your son
And our savior, jesus christ
This is my profession.
Most merciful god
Have mercy on me, and forgive me
That i may delight in your will
And that i may walk in your ways
To the glory of your name.
