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.
Come, now is the time to worship
Come, now is the time to give your heart
Come, just as you are to worship
Come, just as you are before your god, come
One day every tongue will confess you are god
One day every knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly choose you now
Willingly we choose to surrender our lives
Willingly our knees will bow
With all our hearts, our mind and strength
We gladly choose you now
