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.
Praise the lord, o my soul
And let all that's within me
Praise his name
Praise the lord, o my soul
And let all that's within me
Praise his name
I will not die, I will live
And I will tell of the works of the lord
Sing of his wonders
I will not die, I will live
I will not die, I will live
'Cos you're a great God
You're a great God
Nothing's gonna take
Your praise out of my mouth
As long as I shall live
As long as I shall live
