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.
Be still my heart and know
In letting all my weakness show
He provides a place for me to go
He lifts me off the ground
I quiet down and rest
He restores my hope again
I lift my eyes and look to him
He lifts me off the ground
So open up my heart and trust
Open up my eyes to see
That he who placed
The sun, the moon, and stars
Is here with me
Stop your striving now
Heaven’s peace is all around
I say his name and my walls come down
He lifts me off the ground
I’m not alone
You’re with me every step
Seasons come and go
But you have never left
