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 will sing for you alone have rescued this life
Jesus, you have set me free
You alone took away all sin and disgrace
When you gave your life to ransom me
I am forgiven at the foot of the cross
I am accepted by the power of your love
My every stain is washed away
I am forgiven
Here I stand in the light of your glory and grace
Where heaven’s love and justice meet
Now I live for the one who has called me by name
Who is risen and alive in me
I’m embraced at the foot of the cross
By the love and the mercies you have lavished on us
My every stain is washed away
I am forgiven
