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 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
That I will bless the Lord forever, I'll bless Your holy Name
Yes, I'll 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
In the time of trouble, of this I will be sure
You ask me who do I say You are and I say You are the Christ,
Son of living God
