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.
Such a dry and weary land
Is my parched and thirsting soul
How I long to see Your power and Your glory!
Where the Living Waters flow
I will satisfy my soul
How I long to see Your power and Your glory
(Chorus:)
Let it rain on me!
Let it rain Your glory!
Father, send a shower, let it pour!
I am dry and I need more
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it pour!
Lord, I lift to You my hands
And I offer You my soul
Wash this vessel, purify me as snow
In Your presence I will stand
Where the milk and honey flow
Only You can satisfy my thirsting soul!
