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.
The final rest on that day
When I lay my weary head on heaven's shore
The final breath is not the end
It's just the start of all that I've been living for
On that day when I am welcomed home
I will run like a child
To the arms of Your love
I will sing with tongues of angels
With those who've gone before
When I look upon Your face
The very moment I have craved
In Your presence forevermore
On heaven's shore
To leave this place is to leave my fears
And step into the light of the glory of my King
I'll see in full and bow in awe
In the presence of my Savior's majesty
I can't wait, no, I can't wait
I will run like a child
To the arms of Your love
I will sing with tongues of angels
With those who've gone before
When I look upon Your face
The very moment I have craved
In Your presence forevermore
On heaven's shore
Singing Hallelujah
I'll sing forever and I'll sing forever
Hallelujah
I'll sing forever and I'll sing forever
Hallelujah
When I reach heaven's shore
I will run like a child
To the arms of Your love
I will sing with tongues of angels
With those who've gone before
When I look upon Your face
The very moment I have craved
In Your presence forevermore
On heaven's shore
Singing Hallelujah
I'll sing forever, I'll sing forever
Hallelujah
I'll sing forever, I'll sing forever
Hallelujah
When I reach heaven's shore
