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.
Through the fire and water
You have faithfully
Brought us to this place
Of abundance
And your face
Shines upon us
You give
Abundant showers of grace
To refresh your weary people
Stir us again
For revival
That your ways be known
On the earth
So let the rains pour
Down harder
Let the river run wider
Let the winds carry farther
Let the fire burn brighter
The spirit of revival
Let it roll like the smoke
Let it roll like the sea
Let the spirit of revival
Come roll over me
Roll over me
The lord announces his word
And his people proclaim it
And this move of his spirit
No words and describe it
No darkness can hide it
So the land will yield its harvest
And the lord god will bless us
And the whole earth
Will fear him
The kings will revere him
And glorify jesus
