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.
What can wash away the guilty stain
After all the wrong I've done
I've already tried a thousand ways
But it's never been enough, what could be enough
Nothing but the blood, a better word was spoken
Oh, I know it was, nothing but the blood
Every curse was broken, oh I know it was
Nothing but the blood, nothing but the blood
And when I'm reminded of my shame
To the fountain I will run
Every failure covered now in grace
For the Lamb has overcome, what can overcome
On that cross, hallelujah, I left my shame
Where the nails were
Jesus Christ, o Lamb of God, be lifted higher, forever
