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.
Oh Perfect Love, come near to me
From hatred help me part
So I may bless my enemies
With glimpses of thy heart
For I am wise and wicked
But foolish I must become
Your kingdom calls the little child
Oh Lord, please make me one
Oh Lord, please make me one
Oh Love, revealed through human ties
Confirmed within my soul
Thou has stirred the trembling thought
That man is not alone
So I will seek your presence
Though great mysteries confound
By day and night you will arrive
In the souls unsettling sound
In the souls unsettling sound
Oh Love That Breaks All Sinful Bonds
Please conquer more of me
These walls of pride are building on
And keep me far from thee
Ride swiftly, wildest stallion
And raise your sword on high
And cut these chords of carnal lies
That I may with thee ride
That I may with thee ride
