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.
People of god, the kingdom is nigh
And there is a cause to stand up and fight
He’s given the charge, there’s no way we lose
If you didn’t know it, we’ve got some good news
Is he gonna do iy, yes
Who’s he gonna use me
Am I gonna win, yes
And how’s he gonna do it
He’ll use my hands oh
Teach my hands to war 'cause praise is a weapon, praise is a weapon
I’ll clap I’ll wave in everything I’ll praise
Teach my hands to war 'cause praise is my weapon, praise is my weapon
He promised victory when we praise
So clap your hands, clap you hands, clap ‘em
Clap your hand, clap your hands, clap ‘em
It’s been determined we overcome by the blood of the one
He’s the lamb that was slain
And he never fought back 'cause he knew that in three days
It was gonna turn around in our favor
So we’re giving praise to our saviour
He gave his life for me the victory is in our praise
The weapons of our warfare are mighty, mighty through god
We don’t fight against flesh and blood
But principalities and powers, mighty through god
We’re not ignorant of his devices
Spiritual wickedness in high places
Come down, come down, come down
With our praise
Teach my hands to war 'cause praise is a weapon, praise is a weapon
Teach my hands to war 'cause praise is my weapon, praise is my weapon
Teach my hands to war 'cause praise is a weapon, praise is a weapon
I'll clap... I'll wave... in everything I praise
Teach my hands to war 'cause praise is my weapon, praise is my weapon
He promised victory when we praise
So clap yo' hands, clap yo' hands, clap 'em
So clap yo' hands, clap yo' hands, clap 'em
Clap yo' hands, clap yo' hands, clap 'em
So clap yo' hands, clap yo' hands, clap 'em
Teach my hands to war
