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.
I've been raised in the perfect surroundings
Go to church once a week sometimes two
Lord I wanna be what you want me to be
Often sin represents all I do
Forgive me
Once again cleanse me
Forgive me
Once again cover me
I don't even know why your mercy never dies
But I'm glad
Your spirit always seems to grab me
Just before I go over the edge
What I can't understand is why you're even here
When I've trashed my oath and my pledge
Forgive me
Once again cleanse me
Forgive me
Once again cover me
I don't even know why your mercy never dies
But I'm glad
Lord I'm glad
Jesus I'm glad
Lord I'm glad
Jesus I'm glad
