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.
Like a blind man I wandered
So lost and undone
A beggar so helpless
Without God or His Son
Then my Savior in mercy
Heard and answered my cry
And oh what a diff'rence
Since Jesus passed by
All my yesterdays are buried
In the deepest of the sea
The old load of guilt I carried
Is all gone, praise God I'm free
Looking for that bright tomorrow
Where no tears will dim the eye
Well oh what a diff'rence
Since Jesus passed by
Since Jesus passed by
Since Jesus passed by
Oh what a diff'rence
Since Jesus passed by
Well I can't explain it
And I cannot tell you why
But oh what a diff'rence
Oh what a diff'rence
Oh what a diff'rence
Since Jesus passed by
