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.
Hey, it's me
I'm sorry it's so late
I can't sleep
I knew You'd be awake (Psalm 121:4)
You're always home
Waiting by the phone
For nights like these
When I'm feeling all alone
I wish it didn't always
Have to be this way
I wish that I could talk to You
Face to face
But nothing compares to the way
You always listen and know just what to say
Hold my hand
I can't stand alone
Here I am
Waiting for You to take me home
Oh, I just want to sing
I only wish there was a word
For what You mean to me
I would only say it once
In hushed tones
So it would not grow old
But all I have
Is "I love You"
You're my Jesus, You're my hero
Everything I wish that I could be
You're the one who comforts me
When everyone is gone away
I can't stand alone
Here I am
Waiting for You to take me home
And I will keep on singing
Because You hear me
And I will keep on smiling
Because You're near me
I'll sleep well on a promise tonight.
