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 am weary from the suffering
When sorrow’s been my only company
And when I feel like You’ve forgotten me
When I’m at the end of my rope
Would You help me hold on
Hold on
You say that I won’t face the night alone
So help me hold onto hope
When all this sadness washes over me
And unanswered questions make it hard to breathe
And when I cannot find the strength to believe
When I’m at the end of my rope
Would You help me hold on
Hold on
You say that I won’t face the night alone
So help me hold on
Hold on
Even when my heart is breaking help me know
That I can hold on 'cause
I am waiting for Your light and truth
Send them forth to guide me back to You
And keep reminding me that I don’t have to choose
Despair, I can place my hope in You
So help me hold on
Hold on
You say that I won’t face the night alone
So help me hold on
Hold on
Even when my heart is breaking help me know
That I can hold onto hope
