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.
Somewhere we know but haven't been, like a song forgotten
A place prepared beyond the end, our home in new jerusalem
A palace made of promises, a garden and a fortress
A world that's built on what you said, our home in new jerusalem
Our home in new jerusalem
Standing there in purest light, with no more pain and no more night
He holds the tears her ears have cried, the bride of new jerusalem
Who filled with love would give his life, to save his one and only bride
Who's name is true and lifted high, the king of new jerusalem
The king of new jerusalem
His will is done, his kingdom come, eternity has just begun
The multitude will sing as one, the song of new jerusalem
A music free from bars or time, a symphony of his design
The lamb of God enthroned on high, the hope of new jerusalem
The hope of new jerusalem
A music free from bars or time, a symphony of his design
The lamb of God enthroned on high, the hope of new jerusalem
Oh, the hope of new jerusalem
Somewhere we know but haven't been, like a song forgotten
A place prepared beyond the end, our home in new jerusalem
Our home in new jerusalem
