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 dark, when I'm lost, I can hear you calling
But I know, I'm not alone, I can feel you on the inside
In my heart, in my mind
Through the night, through the storm
You're my shelter
When I can't see the light, you're the one leading the way
You're the fire in my veins
I am alive, I am revived
Dying, you saved me
Brought me back to life
No grave can hold me down
For you are with me, in me, all around
Forever, I was changed
When you wrote your name, in my veins
To the left, to the right, I would wonder
But you break, every chain away
I was a slave, a sleeper, now awake
I am alive, I am revived
Dying, you saved me
Brought me back to life
No grave can hold me down
For you are with me, in me, all around
Forever, I was changed
When you wrote your name, in my veins
Look and see, there's no part of me, uncovered by your love
A calming sea, surrounding me, a calling from above
Open me up and you'll find on my heart that there's only one name
No, nothing will ever come close to comparing, there's only one name
When you wrote your name
You wrote your name in my veins
I am alive, I am revived
Dying, you saved me
Brought me back to life
No grave can hold me down
For you are with me, in me, all around
Forever, I was changed
When you wrote your name, in my veins
