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.
On the hill of Calvary the light of all the world
With the world on His shoulders
The weight of all our shame
On Him who knew no sin
A holy surrender
The sky went dark, the angels wept
The Father looked away
The final breath He bowed His head
The Lamb of God was slain
By His wounds, I am set free!
By His blood, I’ve been redeemed!
The great divide He crossed for me!
Oh, praise the God of Calvary!
On the hill of Calvary into the Father’s hands
A holy surrender a borrowed tomb His mother wept
And there His body lay but the stone was moved
He conquered death and rose up from the grave!
And if I never, never lose sight of this place
I will never, never lose sight of Your grace
Your cross is all, all I need to see
Oh, praise the God of Calvary!
By His wounds, I am set free!
By His blood, I’ve been redeemed!
The great divide He crossed for me!
Oh, praise the God of Calvary!
Your cross is all, all I need to see
Oh, praise the God of Calvary!
