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 stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene
And wonder how He could love me
A sinner condemned, unclean
How marvelous, how wonderful
And my song shall ever be
How marvelous, how wonderful
Is my Savior’s love for me
He took my sins and my sorrows
He made them His very own
He bore my burden to Calvary
Where He suffered and died alone
How marvelous, how wonderful
And my song shall ever be
How marvelous, how wonderful
Is my Savior’s love for me
When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see
Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me
How marvelous, how wonderful
And my song shall ever be
How marvelous, how wonderful
Is my Savior’s love for me
