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.
For every time I make the choice
To love the sound of my own voice
Another’s wants, another’s needs
I trample underneath my feet
For every time I boldly say
That I’m the one who knows the way
And I come down with a heavy hand
And withhold my understanding
I know now, more than ever
I know now, more than ever
I know now, more than ever
I know now, that
I am still so in need of grace and mercy
I am still so in need of grace and mercy
For every time that I hold up
My life against another one
And I envy what I cannot have
And curse what I don’t understand
Oh on this darkness, shine a light
Remind me once again that I
Know now, more than ever
I know now, more than ever
I know now, more than ever
I know now, that
I am still so in need of grace and mercy
I am still so in need of grace and mercy
I’d like to think that I’m older now
And surely I must have grown out of this
I’d like to reach some higher ground
But what a sad life to live without
Grace and mercy, grace and mercy, yeah
I am still so in need of grace and mercy
I am still so in need of grace and mercy
