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 looked into the eyes of a lion
Felt the courage in his gaze
I heard him roar my name with passion
As I buried my tears in his mane
I looked into the eyes of a lamb
I saw love face to face
I felt grace destroy my sin
As mercy flowed from his veins
I?ve seen I AM, now I know that I am loved
I?ve seen I AM, now I know who I am
I looked into the eyes of a king
I saw the beauty of holiness
I heard the voice of many waters
As worship poured from my lips
I looked into the eyes of a savior
I saw a love stronger than death
I kissed the scars that bought my freedom
As I laid my head on his chest
