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 once was dead in sin
Alone and hopeless,
A child of wrath I walked
Condemned in darkness,
But your mercy brought new life
And in your love and kindness,
Raised me up with Christ
And made me righteous.
You have bought me back
With the riches of
Your amazing grace
And relentless love
I'm made alive forever
With you, life forever
By your grace I'm saved
By your grace I'm saved
Lord, you are the light
That broke the darkness
You satisfy my soul
When I am heartless
If ever I forget
My true identity
Show me who I am
And help me to belive
You have bought me back
With the riches of
Your amazing grace
And relentless love
I'm made alive forever
With your life forever
By your grace I'm saved
By your grace I'm saved
My sin has been erased
I'll never be the same
My sin has been erased
I'll never be the same
