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.
Verse 1
The race is not given to the swift,
nor is the battle given to the strong;
but to the one that endureth,
to Him I will trust,
in You and You alone.
Chorus
Not by power
(it?s no goodness) of my own.
not by might, (it?s by the hand of the Lord),
that I?ve overcome;
by Your spirit is the victory won,
by Your spirit the victory?s won.
Verse 2
Jesus conquered death, hell and the grave
by dying on the cross so that we might be saved.
Through Him we now have the victory,
no longer bound, we have been set free.
Chorus
Bridge
Your loving kindness,
Your tender mercies,
Your many blessings
(You give to me each morning I see, I see)
Vamp
By Your spirit,
it?s Your spirit.
