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.
Ask me why I stand to sing
What glad tidings these lips bring
I proclaim to you one thing
There is a kingdom coming
Let this joyous anthem roll
Stirring peace within each soul
His plan's in place; God's in control
There is a kingdom coming
Every wrong will be made right
All that's faith will be made sight
End of shadows only light
There is a kingdom coming
Here amid these troubled times
Evil plots, his dark designs
But soon all faithless hearts will find
There is a kingdom coming
Every wrong will be made right
All that's faith will be made sight
End of shadows only light
There is a kingdom coming
So come, Lord Jesus, let all who hear
Sing: Come, Lord Jesus; may the day be near
When every wrong will be made right
All that's faith will be made sight
End of shadows only light
There is a kingdom coming
