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.
Though I walk through the valley
And I can’t see the way
When the shadows surround me
I will not be afraid
For I know you are with me
You will always provide
Though the path may be lonely
You will stay by my side
I will rest my soul
I’ll trust in you alone
For the lord my shepherd
Leads me, leads me and he is all I need
In the darkest valley
I know, I know
My shepherd is all I need
Lord, I know that you seek me
When I’m trying to hide
And your love it pursues me
All the days of my life
I will rest my soul
I’ll trust in you alone
I rest my soul
In you alone
You light my way
You lead me on
