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.
Beyond the end and the beginning
You have been and you will be
Who in all the world is like you
Still I’m not beyond your reach
You are faultless in your very nature
Yet you understand the human mind
Faithful even when I wander
You are patient, you are kind
How deep
How wide
How high is your love for me
I can never see the end
Where can I go from your presence
Your love surrounds me on all sides
Free from shame, there is no hiding
‘Cause I am yours and you are mine, oh
