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.
Gift of Love
Hillsong
Son of God took on human form,
Heaven's gaze was fixed on a child
Holy One smeared by jealous lies & scorn,
And I am overwhelmed,
And all that I can say is
Thank You for the gift You gave,
Giving what no other could,
Thank You for the gift You gave,
For the radical gift of love.
Son of God nailed upon a cross,
Tender heart was broken for my sin.
Loving face marked with blood and tears and dust,
And I am overwhelmed
And all that I can say is
Thank You for the price You paid,
Paying what no other could,
Thank You for the price You paid,
for the terrible cost of love.
Son of God triumphant from the grave,
Death defeated, hope beyond despair.
Reigning now in righteousness and peace,
And I am overwhelmed,
And all that I can say is
Thank You for Your power to save
Saving where no other could.
Thank You for Your Power to save,
The conquering power of Love.
