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.
Somebody threw all my hope out the door
But I'll be taking it back I wouldn't settle for that
Push me out, knock me down
And I will get up again, I've got a power within that won't stop
Won't stop
And now the name by which I was formerly known
May it rest in peace 'cause it's formally gone
God blessed the moment I surrendered to this revelation
All the criminal things that I've ever done
May they rest in peace 'cause they're forever gone
God blessed the moment I surrendered, when You sent Your revelation down
Somebody's shaking me down, knocked around
Reminding me of disgrace they throw it up in my face
Turn the knife in my side
And I will get up again, I've got a power within that won't stop
