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.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow
And I stand face to face with the enemy
I will know that I am not forsaken
You surround me
When the fire’s at my feet
You’re my defender
You fight for me
I will remember
You’re all I need
You are my healer
My remedy
Against the power of the unknown
And I will not stand alone
Cause You’re my defender
I can see You when the night is closing in
And I will trust You when it seems that there’s no hope
And I hold tight to the promise You have given
Cause this I know
And I am confident
I’m saved by the blood
I’m saved by the blood of Jesus
I know that You are for me
I know You will not fail
The weapons formed against me
Cannot prevail
Because I’m saved by the blood
I’m saved by the blood of Jesus
