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 are my light and salvation,
whom shall I fear?
You are the strength of all my days,
of whom shall I be afraid?
Though war may rise against me,
of this will I be sure.
Chorus:
That I will bless the Lord forever,
I'll bless Your holy Name.
Yes I will bless the Lord forever,
I'll bless Your holy Name.
Lord it is you I desire,
it's You that I seek.
To live with You in Your house forever,
beholding Your beauty.
And In the time of trouble,
of this will I be sure.

You ask me who do I,
say that You are and I,
say that you are the Christ,
Son of the living God.
