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.
He Wouldn't Let It Be
by Beau Williams
What can I give for what You've done
To give for my life Your only Son
I was bound, bound and chained
And I was destined for hell's flames
But You wouldn't let it be
You were the help for me
And made me free
No, no, no I can't give enough to You
When I stop to think about all the things
That You went through
You could have come down from that cross
And saved yourself
But no, You decided to stay right there
And save someone else, hallelujah
And I'm glad to be on Your right hand
But you gave me, you gave me one more chance
But You wouldn't let it be
You were the help for me
And made me free
With all the money of this world
I could not pay (No I could not pay)
If I had rubies and diamonds
Jewels and pearls, still wouldn't be enough for me to pay
(No I could not pay)
I was bound, bound and chained
And I was destined for hell's flames
But You wouldn't let it be
You were the help for me
And made me free
You wouldn't let it be
You were the help for me
And made me free
Oh, I'm free
(Free, set me free)
Lord I know today I'm free
(Free, set me free)
When I was down and out
(Free, set me free)
Lord you know You set me free
(Ooooh, set me free)
When my so called friends
Turned their backs on me
(Free, set me free)
Lord you know you set me free
(Free, set me free)
Ohhh, Jesus
(Ohhh, set me free)
Lord I know today I'm free
(Free, set me free)
You wouldn't let it be
You were the help for me
And made me free
You wouldn't let it be
you were the help for me
And made me free
