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.
Lord you brought heaven to earth angels sang at your birth
Glory, glory, glory in the highest
The child of a carpenter the very son of god you are
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus of nazareth
I was born to follow you
You fill the darkness with light you opened the eyes of the blind
Glory, glory, glory in the highest
Took the stone from a pharisee
Let a sinner pour oil on your feet
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus of nazareth
I was born to follow you
You believed in me when I was lost
Surrendered your life at the cross
Worthy, worthy, worthy is the lamb of god
And even the demons believe
You are the risen king of kings
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus of nazareth
