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.
We have come too far, beloved
Than to sway this path we tread
We have nothing else to boast
Than the cross where Jesus bled
We’ve been redeemed to redeem the world around us
We have been loved to love one another
We’ve been pursued to pursue Your kingdom
Ohh, ohh, redeemed to redeem
Ohh ohh redeemed to redeem
Yes we know what is to come
A home where men no longer thirst
Four our souls were made to love
Oh nothing of this passing earth
Oh nothing of this passing earth
We’ve been redeemed to redeem the world around us
We have been loved to love one another
We’ve been pursued to pursue Your kingdom
Ohh, ohh, redeemed to redeem
Ohh ohh redeemed to redeem
To You our lives, we surrender now
Our hearts are Yours, we surrender now
All for Your name, we surrender now
Ohh, ohh redeemed to redeem
Ohh, ohh redeemed to redeem
We’ve been redeemed to redeem the world around us
We have been loved to love one another
We’ve been pursued to pursue Your kingdom
Ohh, ohh, redeemed to redeem
Ohh ohh redeemed to redeem
Ohh, ohh, redeemed to redeem
Ohh ohh redeemed to redeem
