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.
When I was blind
You gave me sight
You gave me eyes to see the colors of Your sky
When I was deaf
Without a sound
You gave me ears to hear the songs of Your love
Your love is kind
Your love’s the only thing that’s perfect in this life
You sent Your son to die
For the broken and the tired
And You healed my life
With my hands raised high
And my heart a burning fire
I’ll give my life
To dwell in Your love
When I was weak
With tired feet
You gave me strength to run the race you’d given me
When I was numb
My heart grown cold
You gave me nerves to feel the warmth of Your love
Your love is kind
Your love’s the only thing that’s perfect in this life
You sent Your son to die
For the broken and the tired
And You healed my life
With my hands raised high
And my heart a burning fire
I’ll give my life
To dwell in Your love
Jesus, we confess
We were lost in brokenness
Til You came and conquered death
For love
