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.
I feel the touch of hands so kind and tender
They're leading me in paths that I must try
I'll have no fear
For Jesus walks beside me
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God
So let the storms rage high
The dark clouds rise
They don't worry me
For I'm sheltered, safe, within the arms of God
He walks with me
And no divert shall harm me
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God
Soon I shall feel the cold from heaven's portals
Come home my child
It's the last mile you must trot
I'll fall asleep and wake up in God's new-held arms
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God
So let the storms rage high
The dark clouds rise
They don't worry me
For I'm sheltered, safe, within the arms of God
He walks with me
And no divert shall harm me
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God
Sheltered, safe within the arms of God, oh
Ooh, ooh
