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.
You gave me life,
Gave me your heart
Your shoulder when I needed to cry
You gave me hope when all my hope is gone
Wings so my dreams can fly
And I haven't told you enough
Haven't been good enough, making you see
My love for you will live in my heart
Until eternity's through
I see your smile in the eyes of my child
I am who I am, mama, thanks to you
You gave me your word
Gave me your voice
Gave me your everything
Each breath of your life
You believe when I can never have
You teach my faith to survive
And I never can do enough
Never thank you enough, for all that you are
My love for you will live in my heart
Until eternity's through
I see your smile in the eyes of my child
I am who I am, mama, thanks to you
I know the treasure, I'm filled with grace
Whenever I see your face
And I see your smile in the eyes of my child
I am who I am, mama, thanks to you
To you
