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.
Listen I've got something to tell ya, I've got something to say
I wanna tell everybody about a thang called praise
It's not just a Sunday thang, no it's everyday
I can feel His presence, I can see His face
Praise defeats the enemy
Gives me the strength I need
Battle's already won, all I gotta do is praise
When I'm down and feeling low
There's a place where I can go
It's in His presence when I begin, when I begin to praise
Joshua led the children of Israel
In the battle of Jericho,, so the Bible tells
So when I lift my voice and begin to shout
Every wall in my life, comes tumbling down
I will praise Him
Praise Him
