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.
Oh Lord, you know my frame, made from dust
But still you call my name, and lift me up
You satisfy my soul with goodness
How could I forget
Bless the Lord
O my soul
And all that is within me
Bless the Lord
O my soul
Forever you are worthy
Forgiven of my sin, every one
Crowned with your righteousness, perfect love
You're faithful to fulfill you promise
I will not forget
As far as the east is from the west
From where the Sun rises to where it sets
All of my sin forgiven
It's by your grace I live in
The fullness of your love
High as the heavens are above
Your mercy has no measure
My heart will sing forever
