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.
Lord I've said I want to serve You
I've been so eager to love
And how I've longed so much to find You,
just to be where You are
But it seems I've forgotten
Where You are and what You look like
I hear Your words speak to me
As You remind me again
You're (I'm) among the poor
You're (I'm) close to the broken
The least of these
The lowest of the low
You're (I'm) among the weak
The hungry, the thirsty
As I (You) do unto them
I've (You've) done unto You (Me)
We are Your people, we bear Your name
God we claim to seek Your ways
But have we neglected Your cries'
Have we looked past Your face'
See My face, look in My eyes
Hear My voice, don't ignore My plight
