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.
Lovely, gracious Jesus
Son of God and Man
Our cross He bore, the veil was torn
Our earthen hearts to mend
Humble, sinless Savior, God Emmanuel
He left His place, oh gift of grace
With us to always dwell
Hallelujah, He is here!
The Word of God made flesh appeared
My wayward soul Christ has reclaimed
And forever He will reign – Jesus reigns, ohh, Jesus reigns, ohh
Behold our gracious promise, Messiah, Prince of Peace
We bow our hearts and worship here, the Christ our risen King
Yes He is Christ our risen King
Hallelujah, He is here!
The Word of God made flesh appeared
My wayward soul Christ has reclaimed
And forever He will reign – oh yes forever He will reign
Jesus reigns, ohh, Jesus reigns, ohh
The oceans of Your love
With grace restore my brokenness
You still my weary soul,
Bring peace to overcome my fears
Immersed in Spirit’s flood,
And rhythms of Your faithfulness
With all we are we sing,
Triumphant songs of victory – He has come!
Hallelujah, He is here!
The Word of God made flesh appeared
My wayward soul Christ has reclaimed
And forever He will reign
Hallelujah, He is here!
The Word of God made flesh appeared
My wayward soul Christ has reclaimed
And forever He will reign – oh yes forever He will reign
Jesus reigns, ohh, Jesus reigns, ohh
Jesus reigns, ohh, Jesus reigns, ohh, Jesus reigns
