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.
Verse:
There are days I get discouraged in this world of pain and woe
There are times that I forget that this is really not my home
But I try to view the valleys as just builders of my Faith
And I set my sights on higher things and I am not afraid
Chorus:
I'm climbing up the mountain but I do not climb alone
There's a world of fellow travelers all around to cheer me on
Step by step I'm more determined I will make it all the way
I'm climbing up the mountain and I'll reach the top someday
Verse:
I can feel the thrill of mercy with each heartache that I face
For the harder that I climb is the sweeter victory tastes
And although my feet are weary and my back is aching so
I can hear the saints all cheering
Just a few more miles to go
