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.
Some people say Emmanuel,
Christ Jesus is his name
He's the Lord above who live or die
But He die not for his fame
He is Savior,
A prince of peace on earth
He is our Savior,
A messiah with a peasant's birth
Jesus was a carpenter
And He worked his hands in wood
And He lived the perfect will of God
That is why we should
See What God's done
A God has come a man
He is God's son
A stranger in a strange land
Jesus came to give us life
For God said He must die
And He suffered every mortal sin
And it tortured God's own eyes
He is Savior,
Born of virgin birth
He is our Savior,
Jesus will return to earth
