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.
What grace is mine that he who dwells in endless light
Called through the night to find my distant soul
And from his scars poured mercy that would plead for me
That I might live and in his name be known
So I will go wherever he is calling me
I lose my life to find my life in him
I give my all to gain the hope that never dies
I bow my heart, take up my cross and follow him
What grace is mine to know his breath alive in me
Beneath his wings my wakened soul may soar
All fear can flee for death's dark night is overcome
My saviour lives and reigns forevermore
So I will go…
