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.
Chorus
Say the name of Jesus, say the name of Jesus,
say the name of Jesus, no other name I know.
Say the name of Jesus, say the name of Jesus,
say the name of Jesus, no other name I know
that can calm your fears, and dry your tears,
and wipe away your pain;
when you don't know what else to pray,
when you don't know what else to say,
say the name.
Vamp 1
Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus.
Vamp 2
Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus,
He's gonna make a way when you say...
Ending
When you don't know what else to pray (don't know what else to pray),
when you don't know what else to say (can't find the words to say),
when you can't make it through another day, say the name.
