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.
With such gratitude in my heart
I’m here to thank You for all You are
You’ve been faithful all my days
In every season You remain
I will enter Your gates with thanksgiving
Lord I run into Your arms
My lips will sing of Your goodness
For Your love illuminates my heart
My lips will lavish praise upon You
For You are Emmanuel
God with us
Search my heart and make it clean
Replace the dirt with purity
For You resist the prideful Lord
You call the humble You restore
Bridge:
Emmanuel
Whom shall I fear for You are always near
Emmanuel
I will praise You all my days
Lord I hunger and I crave
