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.
Who can say
When life is over
The silver cord breaks
Our breath returns to God
Will we walk through fields of clover
Or soar up high
Through valleys deep and wide
I cannot know
All that's waiting there
But until that day
This is my prayer
Chorus:
Take my life
Take away all the shattered dreams in me
And give me love that will last forever
Take my life
Give me the love that makes me free
'Cause I believe
That Your Love can save
Even a wretch like me
This race is not
Just for the runners
Some of us walk
While others barely crawl
We make our way through spring and winter
Leaning on strength
That strengthens all
And when the sunlight fades from morning
You'll still be burning in my eyes
(chorus)
And when the sunlight fades from morning
You'll still be burning in my eyes
(chorus)
