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 was lost in sin, held captive by my fear
’Til your mercy showed your hand was reaching near
My God, you came and made a way for me
You made a way for me
My Jesus, gracious redeemer and friend
There’s nothing like your love without end
My hope was purchased by the blood of the lamb
My Jesus, redeemer
You defeated death, you trampled over sin
You’re the risen king, you’re coming back again
Oh God, you came and made a way for us
You made a way for us
No guilt, no shame
No curse, no chains
New life, you gave
Redeemer
My debt is paid
My soul now saved
Oh God, you came
Redeemer
