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 but the lord set the bound’ries of light
Hung the stars in the night?
Who but the lord drew the face on the Moon
Made the planets to move?
Who but the lord tells the clouds when to pour
Thunder to roar?
Amazing are your works
Almighty maker
You command heaven and earth
By the power of your word
Be praised forever
Almighty maker
All creation sings of you
Glory fills all that you do
Be praised forever, ever, evermore
Who but the lord could have dreamed of the plan
That would save fallen man?
Who but the lord washes rebels with blood
Making mercy a flood?
Who but the lord could give life through a cross
Rescuing us?
Amazing are your ways
All things are from you
All things are through you
O God, the great I am
All things are for you
All things are to you
O God, the great I am
