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.
I Give You Praise
(Darwin Hobbs)
(written by Richard Smallwood)
Verse:
You, are all I need
and where You lead me, I will follow,
and, with all my heart,
I give You praise.
For life, for health and strength,
for giving peace, in midst of sorrow,
I, will lift my voice, and give You praise.
Your love, that's sent from above
has changed my night, into a thousand rainbows.
And through, Your love I've found more strength,
than I've ever known.
You are, my dwelling place,
And where you lead me, I will follow
And through the cold, and through the storm, I will give you praise
Chorus:
Lord, You are, my dwelling place,
my present, help
and for, these things I give, You praise;
for this I give You praise.
