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.
The past that held regret
Over my head is gone
These chains are ashes now
That once were rusted on
I was a runaway
Now I am finally home
My mind was a ghost town
Haunted by yesterday
Until Your hand reached down
Pulled me out of my grave
Into the freedom found
Only in Jesus' name
I am forgiven, no longer lost
Now I am living in the power of the cross
The father gave His Son
So I could be set free
And now the scales are gone
My eyes can finally see
I'll tell the world of all
Jesus has done for me
I am forgiven, no longer lost
Now I am living in the power of the cross
Goodbye to sorrow, welcome my joy
Now I am living in the power of the cross
And on that cross is love, love held true
Through sacrifice, the old made new
This life I live, I live in faith
Now in Jesus' name
I am forgiven, no longer lost
Now I am living in the power of the cross
Goodbye to sorrow, welcome my joy
Now I am living in the power of the cross
Goodbye to sorrow, welcome my joy
Now I am living in the power of the cross
Thank You
Oh God, I thank You
Jesus, I thank You
Thank You for the cross
Praise You
Oh God, I praise You
Jesus, I praise You
Praise You for the cross
