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.
[verse 1]
Why is it so hard for me to let go?
And why is it so hard for me to dispose
Of all the sin I try to hide?
And I run I don't know why
What's there left for me to do?
[chorus]
You're stealing away
Every part of my heart
Come and replace
All my selfish ways
Alter my world
Every part of my heart
Steal me away, steal me away
[verse 2]
Tell me who's to blame for the sin on my lips
I can't repair the stains
That I tried so hard to fix
But You wipe away the stains
And in love You called my name
Now I'm running back to You
[bridge]
And I know that I can't last
And I know that I can't last without You
