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.
Jesus, friend of little children
Be a friend to me
Take my hand, and ever keep me
Close to Thee
Teach me how to grow in goodness
Daily as I grow
Thou hast been a child, and surely
Thou must know
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so
Never leave me, nor forsake me
Ever be my friend
For I need Thee from life's dawning
To its end
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so
Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak
But He is strong
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so
Yes, the Bible tells me so
