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.
No sweeter day, no sweeter song
The day I knew my sins were gone
My failures and my broken life
Were washed in blood the day You died
Your mercy and your majesty
Amazes me, amazes me
I once was blind but now all I can see
Is your mercy and your majesty
The cross of shame, our savior bore
The weight of sin is ours no more
And what appeared to be defeat
Has now become our victory
Your mercy and your majesty
Amazes me, amazes me
I once was blind but now all I can see
Is your mercy and your majesty
What I was I am no more
All my life surrender
All my life surrender
To You alone I owe it all
All my life forever
All my life forever yours
