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.
Who could crucify a king?
Who could hurt the hands that heal?
What could motivate such things?
Love has done it
How’d this mercy come to me, and blood become my covering?
I do not deserve these things
Love has done it
So I
Lift the god whose love delivered me
Magnify christ the coming king
Glorify the lord who lifted me with his great love
Who cast my accuser down and trampled on my enemy?
Ransacked hell and took its keys?
Love has done it
So I
Lift the god whose love delivered me
Magnify christ the coming king
Glorify the lord who lifted me with his great love
Lift the god whose love delivered me
I magnify the christ of the redeemed
Glorify the god who rescued me with his great love
Arise and shine
Rest your glory here
Arise and shine
Rest your glory here
