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.
Can I ascend the hill of the Lord?
Can I stand in that holy place?
There to approach the glory of my God,
Come towards to seek your face.
Purify my heart
Purify my hands
For I know it is, on holy ground I'll stand.
I'm coming up the mountain Lord
I'm seeking you and you alone.
I know that I will be transformed
My heart unveiled before you.
I'm longing for your presence Lord
Envelop me within the clouds.
I'm coming up the mountain Lord
My heart unveiled before you
I will come.
Can I ascend the hill of the Lord?

Envelop me within the clouds.
I'm coming up the mountain Lord
My heart unveiled before you
I will come.
I'm coming to worship
I'm coming to bow down
I'm coming to be with you.
(repeat x 4)
