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.
Verse 1:
We made it through hard trials,
We made it through the pain.
Often criticized, we never gave up,
lied on, we remained strong;
my life is in God's hands.
Verse 2:
Many tire along the way,
they had no vision, no desire to stay.
Felt it would crumble if they were gone,
we kept praying, we stood strong;
my life is in God's hands.
Vamp 1:
He upholdeth me, He holds me up.
He upholdeth me with His right hand.
Vamp 2:
Stand, He holds me up.
Stand, with His right hand.
Vamp 3:
Yes, yes, yes,
with His right hand.
Ending:
My life is in Your hands.
