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.
Standing here in the presence
Of something more than merely real
There are no words to describe you
Or explain the way I feel
As you speak I find healing for my soul
And your touch alone can make me whole
And my heart cries Holy
And my spirit feels the change
As my heart cries Holy I will never be the same
Your mercies toward me last forever
Your faithfulness is true
And as You touch the coal to my lips
My mind is made brand new
I could never repay all that You've done
So use my life to the glory of Your Son
Everything inside me
Everything untrue
Oh Lord I surrender
All of it to You
