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.
If only we could see
Who we’re made to be
Beyond the fear and doubt
That feels so crippling
Our song would rise today
Of a king so great
Who rules the universe but calls us all by name
Oh, oh, we are set apart
Oh, oh, we know who we are
We are the kingdom, we are the light
You set a fire we cannot hide
And we’ll be your city burning so bright
’Cause we are the kingdom
We are the kingdom
We will risk it all
For such a time as this
Not to gain the world
But make a difference
Oh, oh, we are set apart
Oh, oh, this is where we start
We’ll shine your light and raise it high, raise it high
The kingdom of god is alive, is alive
We are the kingdom, we are the kingdom
