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.
Born into the hands of sin
Crippled by the shame within
Broken heart and restless soul
Lost out on the open road
Beaten on that bloody day
On his back a world of pain
Clinging to that cursed tree
Jesus bled and died for me
Victory, victory
Conquered death, set me free
Victory, victory
Jesus alive in me
Three days on, the stone gives way
Ain't nothing but an empty grave
Gather all the sinners round
Tell them what great love we've found
Victory, victory
Conquered death, set me free
Victory, victory
Jesus alive in me
Lead me to the water deep
In the gracious current I'll sink
I will dead to my sin
Christ in me and I in him
Victory, victory
Conquered death, set me free
Victory, victory
Jesus alive in me
