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.
Verse 1:
When I woke up early this morning,
Lord, I felt Your sunlight on me.
And it only serves to remind me
of how You rose to set me free.
And it also seems to remind me
life is filled with ups and downs.
And in the midst of major catastrophe,
I can count on You,
You will never let me down;
and when I consider all
the things You've done for me...
Chorus 1:
(I can lift) my hands,
(do) my dance
(in spite of my) circumstance
(and all of life's) life's heaviness.
(I can lift) my hands,
(do) my dance
(in spite of my) circumstance;
unrestricted praise.
Verse 2:
When I think of all the ways You've made
and how You brought me out,
joy just bubbles over inside of me,
I try to hold it in, but I've got to let it out.
This feeling I can't explain,
but when it takes over me...
Chorus 2:
(I can lift) my hands,
(do) my dance
(in spite of my) circumstance
(and all of life's) life's heaviness.
(I can lift) my hands,
(do) my dance
(in spite of my) circumstance
(and all of life's) life's heaviness.
(I can lift) my hands,
(do) my dance
(in spite of my) circumstance
(and all of life's) life's heaviness.
(I can lift) my hands,
(do) my dance
(in spite of my) circumstance;
unrestricted praise.
Bridge:
Don't focus on where you are,
or what you might be going through,
just trust in the Lord of hosts
and know that He's figting for you.
Chorus 3:
(Just lift) your hands,
(do) your dance
(in spite of your) circumstance
(and all of life's) life's heaviness.
(I can lift) your hands,
(do) your dance
(in spite of your) circumstance...
