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.
You will lift up your face without shame
You will firmly stand with no fear inside
You will surely forget your troubles and pain
Recalling them only as waters gone by
If you put away the sin in your hand
And allow no evil to dwell
If you devote your heart
And stretch out your hands to Him
You'll be secure for there is hope
And you will safely take your rest
You will lie down
With no one to make you afraid
But the eyes of the wicked will fail
Darkness gives way to morning's light
Life will be brighter than noon day
As the waters go by into the night
I will lift up my face without shame
I will firmly stand with no fear inside
I will surely forget my troubles and pain
Recalling them only as waters gone by
As waters gone by
