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.
My gentle savior leadeth me
What more do I need
He leadeth me to waters still
And into pastures green
You are all I need, you are all I need
You are all I need, all I need is you
And when the evening darkness brings
Nothing will I fear
For even death has lost it’s sting
As long as you are here
And when I loose hope you restore my soul
And you fill my cup until it over flows
And I know goodness and mercy will follow me
Until I see you in the fullness of your glory
So let the oceans cover me
Let the mountains fall
For I know my savior walks with me
And leads me through it all
