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.
If you could see what i once was
If you could go with me
Back to where i started from
Then i know you would see
A miracle of love that took me in its sweet embrace
And made me what i am today
Just an old sinner saved by grace.
I'm just a sinner saved by grace
When i stood condemned to death
He took my place
Now i live and breathe in freedom with each breath of life i take
Loved and forgiven
Back with the living
I'm just a sinner saved by grace
How could i boast of anything i've ever seen or done?
How could i dare to claim as mine the vict'ries god has won?
Where would i be had god not brought me gently to this place?
I'm here to say i'm nothing but a sinner saved by grace
I'm just a sinner saved by grace
When i stood condemned to death
He took my place
Now i live and breathe in freedom with each breath of life i take
Loved and forgiven
Back with the living
I'm just a sinner saved by grace
