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.
Lord you know my heart
Lord you know my need
Every step that I take
Lord I feel the weight
Of every burden on me, can I
Lay it down at the Altar
Lay it down at your feet
I am desperate for mercy
I am desperate for peace
For you're the one that is Holy
And I'm the one who's in need, can I
Lay It down
Lay it down at the Altar
Who am I to you?
When you are everything
And though I cannot be sure
That my gift would be pure
And be fit for my king, I will
(Repeat Chorus)
If you are one who needs mercy
I f you are one who needs peace, come and
Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down at the altar
