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.
In the valley, oh God, you're near
In the quiet, oh God, you're near
In the shadow, oh God, you're near
At my breaking, oh God, you're near
Oh God, you never leave my side
Your love will stand firm for all my life
In my searching, oh God, you're near
In my wandering, oh God, you're near
When I feel alone, oh God, you're near
At my lowest, oh God, you're near
Height nor depth nor anything else
Could pull us apart
We are joined as one by your blood
Hope will rise as we become more
Than conquerors through
The one who loved the world
Oh God, you never leave my side
Your love will stand firm for all my life
