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 gave me love, Oh Lord
When I was so unlovable
You gave me peace, Oh Lord
When I was so restless
You gave me a joyful song to sing
When I was so downhearted
(Chorus:)
You gave me life
You are the Lifegiver
You are the Lifegiver
You brought me water to drink
When my throat was parched from the sun
You gave me grace, Sweet Jesus
When I was dead in my transgressions
You gave me brothers and sisters to come along side
Me when I just can't go on, I just can't go on
You give me everything I need
You give me everything I need
(Chorus 2x)
You gave me love, Oh Lord
When I was so unlovable
(Chorus 3x)
