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.
May my heart
Pour out all I am before your throne
I give my love to you alone, faithfully
May my lips
Only sing praises to your name
Only give honor to your name, eternally
You are my king, You are my hope
I trust in You and You alone
You are my peace, You are my joy
You are my king
You are my king
May my mind Dwell on what is pure
And what is right
Be filled with what is pleasing
In Your sight
For You are Good
May my eyes Stay completely
Focused in on You
Keeping all Your righteousness in view
Never losing sight
