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 count my blessings one by one, Your goodness in my life
How could I ask for more, in You I’m satisfied
All the mountains that I ascend
They leave me empty time and time again
I fix my eyes on this reward
The world behind me now and You before
I count my blessings one by one, Your goodness in my life
How could I ask for more, in You I’m satisfied
If You are all I have, I know that I will find
That You are all I need, in You I’m satisfied
So, let my life be freely spent
For what only, only You can give
My richest gain I count as loss
When I survey the wonder of the Cross
Nothing else, nothing else
Nothing else will ever satisfy
No one else, no one else
No one else will ever satisfy
There's nothing else
There's nothing else, will ever satisfy
There's no one else, There's no one else
