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.
None are righteous, no not one
We were hopeless in need of Christ
The sins of man, He bore them all
Every sin on Him was laid,
By His wounds His love displayed
Salvation came through the nail pierced hands of Christ
You are the righteous one, You bled and died
Oh Lamb of God, You gave Your life
Unworthy of Your love, my sinful soul is spared by grace
The Messiah came and saved
Prone to wander and run away
Yet the Spotless One took our place
Bearing shame and suffering
Messiah, You have come
Our broken souls to save
The Lamb of God has come to us
