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.
All of my life I've been searching for something
Endless and out of my reach
I've seen the height and the depth of the splendor
This world can offer to me
All that I find quickly fades in the sight of
Treasure that flows from above
All of the earth is now bending, collapsing
Under the weight of your love
Like a mighty mountain towering above us
Wide as the horizon
Deeper than a canyon
As heavy as the sea
Comparison fails in describing the sweeping
Majesty held in your hands
Limitless, boundless, eternal and massive
Measureless, knowing no end
Infinite love overflowing and rising
Breaks like a wave over me
Nothing compares to this far-reaching vastness
The endless expanse that I see
Like a mighty mountain towering above us
Wide as the horizon
Deeper than a canyon
As heavy as the sea
Like a mighty forest stretching out before us
Higher than the stars reach
Broader than the sky is
The love you've given me
Your love is as heavy as the sea
