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.
I was lost
I was in chains
The world had a hold of me
My heart was a stone
I was covered in shame
When he came for me
I couldn't run, couldn't run from his presence
I couldn't run, couldn't run from his arms
Jesus, he loves me, he loves me, he is for me
Jesus, how can it be, he loves me, he is for me
And it was a fire
Deep in my soul
I'll never be the same
I stepped out of the dark
And into the light
When he called my name
I couldn't run, couldn't run from his presence
I couldn't run, couldn't run from his arms
He holds the stars and he holds my heart
With healing hands that bear the scars
The rugged cross where he died for me
My only hope, my everything
