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.
When I Think of All of the Things He's Doin' For Me,
It Makes Me Stand in Wonder At What He's Making Me to Be.
Tryin' to Walk Through Straight, But Getting Turned Around,
Always Makin' the Master Take a Backseat and Wait Around.
But I Praise the Lord For Giving Me a Brand New Start Each Day,
And I Praise His Blessed Name For Guiding Me All Along the Way.
If He Didn't, I Wouldn't Even Try.
Well Maybe You Can't See a Change, You Know These Things Can Take Time.
But Now That I've Found Jesus, Well He's Given Me Peace of Mind.
Now Ev'ry Day's Just a Chance to Grow Close to Him,
I May Not Win All the Battles, But It's a Victory in Him.
Well I Praise the Lord For Giving Me a Brand New Start Each Day,
And I Praise His Blessed Name For Guiding Me All Along the Way.
If He Didn't, I Would Surely Die.
