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.
Lord of all
Of the heights where faith
Can lift the trusting heart
Lord of all
Of the depths where fear
Would tear such faith apart
Lord of all
Of the nations
Quick to anger
Bearing arms
Lord of all
Of each child
Held by its mother
Safe from harm
Chorus:
Lord of all
Of all seen and unseen things
Of the universe that sings
And calls you Lord of all
Lord of all
Of the power not to sin
You have always been
And always will be
Lord of all
Lord of all
Of a peace
That we can draw with every breath
Lord of all
Of provision for each need
In life and death
Lord of all
Of the turnings
Of the seasons and the earth
Lord of all
Of the love
That purchased man
A second birth
Repeat Chorus
