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.
Yesterday I placed my life
Before You once again
Surrendered everything I had
And everything You know I am
But, Lord, this is now and that was then
I die to my ambitions
I die to selfish pride
I take up my cross and cast my will aside
My life upon the altar as a sacrifice I lay
What joy to live and die another day
Tomorrow I will come to You
Like all the times before
Needing daily grace
I'll crucify the flesh once more
And count it as a privilege, O Lord
I die to my ambitions
I die to selfish pride
I take up my cross and cast my will aside
My life upon the altar as a sacrifice I lay
What joy to live and die another day
For me to live is Christ and to die is gain
I die to my ambitions
I die to selfish pride
I take up my cross and cast my will aside
My life upon the altar as a sacrifice I lay
What joy to live and die another day. - See more at
