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.
When i see the beauty
Of the sunset's glory
Amazing artistry
Across the evening sky
When i feel the mystery
Of a distant galaxy
It awes and humbles me
To be loved by a god so high
What can i do but thank you
What can i do but give
My life to you
Hallelujah, hallelujah
What can i do but praise you
Every day make everything i do
A hallelujah, a hallelujah
Hallelujah
When i hear the story
Of a god of mercy
Who shared humanity
And suffered by our side
Of the cross they nailed you to
That could not hold you
Now you're making all things new
By the power of your risen life
