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.
Your fathering heart, is so great to me
For your hand on my life, covers me with peace.
Even when I was so far from you
You saw me as your own.
You never gave up on me.
You sent Jesus to come bring me home
And, father, my home is you.
Father, my home is you, forever.
And, father, my home is you.
Father, my home is you, forever
In a child-like heart, I know you delight.
So hold me close to your heart and sing a song o'er my life.
'Cause even when I was so far from you.
You saw me as your own.
You never gave up on me.
You sent Jesus to come bring me home
