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.
Fell on dark days, scared to lose
I cry for You
In Your arms, Lord, carry me through
I won't go without You
O Lord, You're closer than a brother
A friend that I can fall on
And O God of my salvation
Carried all my burdens on the cross
Greater love has no man
Than to die for his friend
When I was Your enemy
Lord, You came and died for me
O Lord, You're closer than a brother
A friend that I can fall on
And O God of my salvation
Carried all my burdens
And oh, You're closer than a brother
A friend that I can fall on
O God of my salvation
Carried all my burdens on the cross
