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 alone out in the darkness
Lost in the ocean of my sin
Day after day the waves crash over me Lord
It’s Your light that draws me in
I raise my hands to You for mercy
I need Your love that won’t let go
Oh God You’re reaching down
In You I’ve found
A rescue for my soul
A rescue for my soul
Though I was born into this battle
I look to You time and time again
No longer death in me, You’re my victory
Lord it’s Your life that draws me in
I was a sinner until You found me
When I was broken You made me whole
When floods surround me, I need You Jesus
You are the rescue for my soul
