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.
If you could know how many times
I've watched you weeping
And I've wept the same
How I have ached so filled with longing
To gather you up here in my arms
You?re alone, without home and forsaken
But I've made a way for you to be Mine
For I, I am, I am Redeemer
Your Maker, your Healer
Your King, who made Himself low
That you would discover
The love of My Father
Made known in Me
For every wound you've had to endure
I chose to endure it long before you were born
I'm offering to carry your burdens and pain
Your fear and your worries
Your sins and your shame
And I'm knocking at your door
And I'm waiting
For you to let me on the inside
You can lay your head on My chest
You can feel the warmth of My breath
You will know My love
You will find rest in Me alone, Me alone
