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 peace is like a river rushing my way
When trouble's like an ocean wave after wave
It is well
I don't know all the answers but I know that You are good
And You are always faithful no matter how it looks
It is well
It is well with my soul
It is well through the highs and lows
You're on my side
You're for me I know
It is well with my soul
Your spirit's my assurance when trials may come
I'm holding to the promise that You've already won
It is well
And all my sin and shame I bear it no more
It's nailed to the cross, forever I am Yours
It is well
In the fire and the flames
In my pain
You are with me
This is not the end
You're not finished yet
You're still moving
No matter what I've lost
Or what it costs
My heart will sing
