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.
Aaron held his peace, so may I (Leviticus 10:3).
Please don't think that I'm overcoming great obstacles of disinclination (James 1:2).
If you only knew.
If I only knew like I wanted to.
Though the melody seems tainted,
it's the words that carry the hope (Psalm 119:105).
Because I walked into the room and laid my head
on the hands in which I find inscribed the letters of my name (Isaiah 49:16).
There's a certain tension in longing.
One that paralyzes fear.
One that finds hope in the promises, and in brokenness is complete.
