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 1:]
Lord, we rejoice in the power of Your name.
Lord, we rejoice in the power of Your name.
We make a choice to voice our opinion,
Your name is great,
we proclaim Your dominion.
Yesterday, today, and forever the same,
we rejoice in the power of Your name.
[Verse:]
Mountains tremble at the sound of that name.
We assemble just to proclaim Jesus reigns.
[Chorus 1]
[Verse 2:]
Every knee must bow at the sound of that name.
We lift a mighty shout just to proclaim
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns.
[Chorus 2:]
Lord, we rejoice in the power of Your name.
Lord, we rejoice in the power of Your name.
We make a choice to voice our opinion,
Your name is great,
we proclaim Your dominion...

Forever the same,
You never change.

We rejoice the name of Jesus.

The name of Jesus.
The name of Jesus.
The name of Jesus.
The name of Jesus.

Yesterday, today, and forever the same,
we rejoice in the power of Your name.
