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.
I see what eyes cannot see
and ears cannot hear
and brains cannot perceive
I see a spirit over me
that guides protects and keeps me
from some wrecks
I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling
I hear words that were said
over two thousand years ago
I hear the spirit when he's near
reminds me who I belong to
I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling
Softly and tenderly my Jesus is calling
calling for you and for me
I hear Jesus calling
