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.
Hear my cry oh God attend to my prayer.
from the ends of the Earth I cry unto You
When my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the Rock
that is higher than I, that is higher than I.
For You oh Lord are a shelter unto me
And a strong tower from the enemy
When my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the Rock
that is higher than I, that is higher than I.
Hear my cry oh God attend to my prayer.
from the ends of the Earth I cry unto You
When my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the Rock
that is higher than I, that is higher than I.
I will abide in Your house oh my Lord, forever
I will rest in the shelter of your wings
To the Rock, that is higher than I...
