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 am a prodigal
I can make it on my own
I am a runaway
I would rather be alone
And it only takes a moment
Before the thrill is gone away
'Cause I am a wanderer
Yes, I am a wanderer
I am a criminal
Claiming treasures not my own
I am a hypocrite
Things I've said are seldom done
And it only takes a moment
Before the thrill is gone away
'Cause I am a wanderer
Yes, I am a wanderer
Though I wander far from You
You find me and bring me home
You find me and bring me home
Though I wander far from You
You find me and bring me home
You find me and bring me home
'Cause I am a child of God
I am loved and unashamed
Yes, I am a child of God
And forever I'll proclaim
That it only takes a moment
To wash it all away, yeah
'Cause I am a prodigal
And I am a runaway
Oh, I am a criminal
Oh, I am a hypocrite
But I am a child of God, hmm
Yes, I am a child of God
