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.
From the ancient days until today
I have inspired prophets and poets
And the heart of every message
Are these three words
Return to me
I am your Creator - Return to me
I am your Redeemer; Your Father - return to me
I am your husband - return to me
I have longed to hold you in my arms
And take all of your fear away
I will take your filthy rags and make them clean
If you receive my love, if you receive my love
Return to Me and hear my Spirit say
In repentance and rest is your salvation
In quietness and trust is your strength
