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.
Some people hear my words
And think I'm wise beyond my years,
And others wonder if I am sincere
Some would say I'm foolish
To put my faith in You,
And some would say I'm wise because I do
As I consider all of this,
All that really matters is
I know, I know who You are,
By the way You make the wind blow,
And the way You stir my heart,
And I have only made it through so far,
'Cause I know, I know who You are.
Some say You are the only truth,
And some say You're a fraud,
Some think we invented You
Some call you God
Some say You were a noble man,
Very kind and good,
Some think You were a prophet just misunderstood
But I'm content to always be,
A witness to your mystery
And even though I've never seen Your face,
I have heard You calling out my name
